They’re out! The Golden Globe nominations have been announced. Considered one of the prime indicators to the Oscars, the Globes combine TV and cinema and coming out on top is none other than new George Clooney dramedy Up in the Air with six noms. So congrats to all involved with that movie and to Meryl Streep and Sandra Bullock who have each notched up two noms (for Julie & Julia and It’s Complicated and The Proposal and The Blind Side respectively). However, here at Boxwish, we’re most attuned to the music categories and are intrigued to see within these two categories some familiar names…

Avatar (y’know that movie about some blue things directed by that guy and with the fancy effects) leads the musical pack with nominations in both the Best Original Score and Best Original Song categories. Both essentially for the movie’s composer, James Horner albeit the Song nom shared with co-writers Simon Franglen and Kuk Harrell for Leona Lewis’s big belter “I See You”. (For more on the Avatar music see Related Content, right.)

Elsewhere in the Score category, there’s love for Michael Giacchino’s Up, Marvin Hamlisch’s The Informant! and Carter Burwell and Karen O’s Where The Wild Things Are, each already with Grammy and Satellite Award noms under their belts, and a newcomer to the party, Abel Korzeniowski’s A Single Man.

While in the Song list, James Horner’s Avatar will be going against some more poptastic contenders such as U2 for “Winter” from the Tobey Maguire drama, Brothers and Sir Paul McCartney’s “(I Want to) Come Home” from rom-com, Everybody’s Fine; along with “The Weary Kind” from fictional music biopic, Crazy Heart and “Cinema Italiano” from glamorous musical, Nine.

The winners will get the chance to thank everyone they’ve ever met while the losers cry in the toilets when the awards are announced live on air on Sunday 17th March.

Get the Avatar Soundtrack, the Up Soundtrack, the Where The Wild Things Are Soundtrack, the A Single Man Soundtrack (UK & US), the Brothers Soundtrack (US), the Everybody’s Fine Soundtrack (UK & US), The Informant! Soundtrack (UK & US), the Crazy Heart Soundtrack (UK & US) and the Nine Soundtrack (UK & US).
