MUMBAI: The 68th annual Globes nominations that will be announced on Tuesday will feature ten best-picture nominees, five each in the dramatic category and the rest in a musical or comedy category.

Featured are two acclaimed dramas, the British monarchy tale The King‘s Speech and The Social Network. There are prospects of another divergent year between the Globes and the Oscars the nominations of which come out 25 January, nine days after the Globes are presented.

The Social Network has already bagged two key prizes as both Los Angeles and New York film critics groups picked it as the year‘s best film. Other possible Globe drama contenders include the sci-fi smash Inception, the ballet tale Black Swan, the Western True Grit, the boxing saga The Fighter and the survival story 127 Hours.

Among musical and comedy films vying for a look in are the lesbian-family tale The Kids Are All Right, the Lewis Carroll fantasy Alice in Wonderland, the song-and-dance extravaganza Burlesque, the curmudgeon chronicle Barney‘s Version and the romantic films Greenberg, Love & Other Drugs, How Do You Know and Cyrus.

Last year, Avatar won best drama at the Globes while The Hurt Locker took the best film award at the Oscars. But all four Oscar acting recipients viz Sandra Bullock for The Blind Side, Jeff Bridges for Crazy Heart, Mo‘Nique for Precious and Christoph Waltz for Inglourious Basterds also won prizes at the Globes.
