Nominees for best film actress include Cate Blanchett for the drama Elizabeth: The Golden Age, and Angelina Jolie as the wife of slain journalist Daniel Pearl in A Mighty Heart.

Among the best actor nominees were George Clooney for his role as a troubled attorney in Michael Clayton and Daniel Day-Lewis in the oil film There Will Be Blood.

The television award for best cast performance in a drama series included the casts of Grey's Anatomy and The Sopranos.
