Vice leads with six Golden Globe nominations

LOS ANGELES :  Vice, a biopic about Dick Cheney starring Christian Bale as the former US vice-president, yesterday picked up the most Golden Globe nominations with six, including best comedy film, as the race to the Oscars begins.

Musical romance A Star Is Born, royal tale The Favourite and racial comedy Green Book were tied in second place with five nominations each.

The announcements, which come a week before the influential Screen Actors Guild nominations, are the first major bellwether of momentum going into the Academy Awards, which take place in February.

The Golden Globes will be handed out on Jan 6 next year and the telecast will be hosted by Andy Samberg and Sandra Oh.- AFP
