Movie posters of Les Miserables and ArgoWith the awards season just a month away, the 2012 Golden Globes nominations were announced earlier today.

After British comedian Ricky Gervais's bumpy ride hosting two Golden Globe awards back-to-back, the reins have now been turned over to America's funniest women, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.

While the show itself seems to hold more promise, entertainment-wise, the nominations reveal this year's deserving front-runners and a surprise entry for Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained that is set to release on December 25.

There's some good news for India as well, as films starring Indians have been nominated like the Tena Desae-starrer The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and the Anupam Kher-starrer Silver Linings Playbook.
