‘Last Emperor’ Garners Five Golden Globe Nominations

“The Last Emperor” was the most honored drama among Golden Globe nominees announced Tuesday by the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. with “Broadcast News” and “Moonstruck” heading the list of comedies/musicals.

Each of those three films received five nominations--including best picture nominations in their respective categories--while the box-office smash “Fatal Attraction” received four nominations.

In nominating film achievements for Golden Globes, the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. separates content in the best picture and best acting categories into dramas and comedies/musicals. The Golden Globes are primarily associated with movies, but Globes are also given for television. This year, “L.A. Law” led the list of TV nominees with six.

The Golden Globes will be presented to winners Jan. 23 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. The program will be taped for syndication in markets around the world.

In addition to its nomination as best drama, “The Last Emperor” won Golden Globe nominations for director Bernardo Bertolucci, actor John Lone and the screenplay that was co-written by Bertolucci and Mark Peploe. It was also nominated for best score.

Other best drama nominees were “Cry Freedom,” “Fatal Attraction,” “Empire of the Sun,” “La Bamba” and “Nuts.”

James L. Brooks was a triple-nominee as writer/director/producer of “Broadcast News.” Co-stars William Hurt and Holly Hunter were also nominated in the best comedy/musical actor and actress categories.

John Boorman, whose “Hope and Glory” has been an award winner with the various American critics groups, got three nominations, including two for the writing and directing of John Boorman. Oddly, the movie itself--an autobiographical impression piece about the London Blitz--was nominated in the best comedy/musical category.
