The Hollywood Foreign Press announced its nominees for the 70th Annual Golden Globes this morning and, of course, it’s a mixed bag.
Unsurprisingly, Lincoln leads the pack with seven nominations, including nods for Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field and Tommy Lee Jones.
Jones’ Hope Springs co-star Meryl Streep, who can score a nomination just for sighing heavily on screen, is nominated for her 303rd Globe.
Argo and Django both scored five nominations each, and will compete for Best Motion Picture Drama against Lincoln, Life of Pi and Zero Dark Thirty.
How about we take this to the next level?

Les Misérables is up for four nominations, including Best Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical, as well as nods for Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway.
