So much for the Golden Globes ‘ reputation for celebrity-chasing. The Hollywood Foreign Press announced its nominees on Thursday, a group that for once favored prestige over popularity — at least on the film side — including five nominations for Oscar front runner Boyhood and a leading seven nods for Birdman . Angelina Jolie’s Unbroken , meanwhile, went off the script; if the WWII epic was going to pick up awards traction anywhere, it was here, with the star-obsessed HFPA. But it was shut out, following suit with the Screen Actors Guild on Wednesday. Additional Drama Best Picture nominees included Foxcatcher, The Imitation Game, Selma and The Theory of Everything, all of which are fairly conventional choices, particularly by the HFPA’s well-documented cukoo-for-celebrities standards.
