Globes noms

Brokeback Mountain, about a longstanding gay relationship between two cowboys, has scored a swag of nominations for the Golden Globes. Actors Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams and director Ang Lee have been nominated in their fields, and the film itself will be competing against George Clooney's Good Night, And Good Luck, Woody Allen's Match Point, Fernando Meirelles' The Constant Gardener and David Cronenberg's A History of Violence in the best film drama category. Significantly, many of the nominees are low-budget independent efforts.
