Golden Globe nominations for HUGO and RANGO! Congratulations!

Nominations for the 2012 Golden Globe Awards were announced this morning, and although there was no nomination for Johnny Depp as an actor — a rarity in recent years — both Hugo (which Johnny helped produce through his company Infinitum Nihil) and Rango were honored. Hugo received nominations for Best Motion Picture, Drama; Best Director, Martin Scorsese; and Best Original Score, Howard Shore. Gore Verbinski’s Rango was nominated for Best Animated Film, along with The Adventures of Tintin, Arthur Christmas, Cars2, and Puss in Boots.

The Golden Globe Awards will be broadcast live on NBC on Sunday night, January 15, 2012, at 8 p.m. Eastern time (5 p.m. Pacific). Good luck to all the nominees, and congratulations on your achievement!
