Paramount leads all studios/HBO leads nets

i-c7fd23bc26e447bdd9919a97f50a40eb-alogo.jpgYou can’t blame Paramount for crowing this morning about the fact that films released by their studio received a total of 15 Golden Globe Award nominations this morning – more than any rival studio and a record for Paramount.
You see, Paramount had been in something of an awards drought since 1999 when it napped 13 nods.
“Babel,” the first title released under the studio’s newly-named specialty label Paramount Vantage, got seven nods while the musical “Dreamgirls” got five. “Two co-productions with Warner Bros., “Flags of Our Fathers” and “Letters From Iwo Jima” got one a piece.

Warner Bros was a close second with 13 nods followed by six a piece for Miramax, Sony Pictures, and 20th Century Fox.

NBC was boosted nominations for performers in its Thursday night comedies who snagged four of the five slots: Alec Baldwin for “30 Rock,” Zach Braff for “Scrubs” Steve Carrell for “The Office”: and Jason Lee for “My Name is Earl.”
