Firth gets Golden Globe Nom.
December 26th 2009 15:37
Colin Firth has been nominated for a Golden Globe(R) in the debut feature for Tom Ford A SINGLE MAN.
Set in Los Angeles in 1962, at the height of the Cuban missile crisis, A SINGLE MAN, is the story of George Falconer, a 52 year old British college professor [Colin Firth] who is struggling to find meaning to his life after the death of his long time partner, Jim [Matthew Goode].
George dwells on the past and cannot see his future as we follow him through a single day, where a series of events and encounters, ultimately leads him to decide if there is a meaning to life after Jim.
George is consoled by his closest friend Charley [Julianne Moore], a 48 year old beauty who is wrestling with her own questions about the future. A young student of George's, Kenny [Nicholas Hoult], who is coming to terms with his true nature, stalks George as he feels in him a kindred spirit.
A SINGLE MAN is a romantic tale of love interrupted, the isolation that is an inherent part of the human condition, and ultimately the importance of the seemingly smaller moments in life.
The story is an adaptation based on a novel by Christopher Isherwood and is directed by Tom Ford.
The three Golden Globe Nominations are:
* Colin Firth for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture (drama)
* Julianne Moore for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture
* Composer Abel Korzeniowski in the Best Original Score in a Motion Picture category.
"The Hollywood Foreign Press have just given me time out from my 20 year
midlife crisis. My heartfelt thanks to them." - COLIN FIRTH
"I am so honoured and thrilled to be among the Golden Globe nominees
this year. I am happy for everybody - particularly my friend Colin
Firth!" - JULIANNE MOORE
