With seven nominations, _Birdman_ looks like a frontrunner; it was recognized for best actor (Michael Keaton), best supporting actress (Emma Stone), best director (Alejandro González Iñárritu), and for best picture, musical or comedy. In the drama field, _Boyhood_ and _Selma_ both looked strong with nominations for best picture and for their directors and screenplay. The morning’s biggest surprise may have been the lack of deference shown to two Globe favorites. Angelina Jolie, who has won three Golden Globes, and Clint Eastwood, who has won five, saw their respective war movies (_Unbroken_ and _American Sniper_) go completely unmentioned in the Globes slate. In place of these famous veterans, the director’s field features three first-time nominees: _Selma_‘s Ava DuVernay, _Boyhood_‘s Richard Linklater, and _The Grand Budapest Hotel_‘s Wes Anderson. There’s no overlap between the voting bodies for the Golden Globes and the Oscars, but these nominations did help to firm up some senses of what may happen later in the season. Stars including Reese Witherspoon, Julianne Moore, Eddie Redmayne, and Michael Keaton feel like safe bets for Oscar nominations. So too, suddenly, does Jake Gyllenhaal for the creepy L.A. noir _Nightcrawler_. And awards-watchers can no longer dismiss Jennifer Aniston, whose little-seen _Cake_ got her into the drama acting field. Meanwhile, the other side of the ballot proved yet again that the foreign correspondents may largely hew to conventional wisdom with their movie votes but follow their passions when it comes to TV. Surprising nominees includedShowtime’s little-loved _The Affair_ and the new CW series _Jane the Virgin_. The Golden Globe Awards will air on NBC on Jan. 11, hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. **Best Motion Picture, Drama** * _Boyhood_ * _Foxcatcher_ * _The Imitation Game_ * _Selma_ * _The Theory of Everything_ **Best Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical** * _Birdman_ * _The Grand Budapest Hotel_ * _Into the Woods_ * _Pride_ * _St. Vincent_ **Best Actor, Drama** * Steve Carell, _Foxcatcher_ * Benedict Cumberbatch, _The Imitation Game_ * Jake Gyllenhaal, _Nightcrawler_ * David Oyelowo, _Selma_ * Eddie Redmayne, _The Theory of Everything_ **Best Actress, Drama** * Jennifer Aniston, _Cake_ * Felicity Jones, _The Theory of Everything_ * Julianne Moore, _Still Alice_ * Rosamund Pike, _Gone Girl_ * Reese Witherspoon, _Wild_ **Best Actor, Comedy or Musical** * Ralph Fiennes, _The Grand Budapest Hotel_ * Michael Keaton, _Birdman_ * Bill Murray, _St. Vincent_ * Joaquin Phoenix, _Inherent Vice_ * Christoph Waltz, _Big Eyes_ **Best Actress, Comedy or Musical** * Amy Adams, _Big Eyes_ * Emily Blunt, _Into the Woods_ * Helen Mirren, _The Hundred-Foot Journey_ * Julianne Moore, _Maps to the Stars_ * Quvenzhané Wallis, _Annie_ **Best Supporting Actor** * Robert Duvall, _The Judge_ * Ethan Hawke, _Boyhood_ * Edward Norton, _Birdman_ * Mark Ruffalo, _Foxcatcher_ * J.
