12 Years A Slave
The Golden Globes were announced earlier this week and you would be forgiven for thinking that this was a British awards ceremony for all of the home talent that was in the mix.
Yes, it sees that the British well and truly are coming this awards season and we could see some of them waltz away with some major prizes... which is fantastic new.
We take a look at some of the actors and performances that are in the spotlight.
- Chiwetel Ejiofor: 12 Years A Slave & Dancing On The Edge
Chiwetel Ejiofor has delivered the performance of his career with 12 Years A Slave as he takes on the role of Solomon Northup in this powerful true story.
Ejiofor will battle it out in the Best Actor - Drama category alongside Tom Hanks, Matthew McConaughey, Idris Elba and Robert Redford.
The British actor has been picking up Best Actor awards left, right and centre and is a hot favourite to go on and scoop an Oscar nomination for his performance.
Ejiofor also picked up a Best Actor in a Miniseries for his performance in Dancing On The Edge.
- Idris Elba: Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom & Luther
The Best Actor - Drama category will see two British actors go head to head as Idris Elba is also in the mix.
Elba takes on the role of Nelson Mandela as his autobiography Long Walk To Freedom has been brought to the big screen.
This is the second year in a row that Elba has picked up a Golden Globe nomination after he scooped the Best Actor in a Miniseries last year for Luther.
And he has been recognised for his work in Luther again as, like Ejiofor, has picked up a double nomination.
- Judi Dench: Philomena
Judi Dench has lit up the big screen this autumn with her wonderful performance in Philomena.
The movie is an adaptation of the book by Martin Sixsmith that tells the story of Philomena Lee; the woman who spent her life looking for the son she was forced to give up for adoption.
Philomena picked up two other nominations including Best Motion Picture - Drama and Best Screenplay for Steve Coogan and Jeff Pope.
Dench has already picked up nominations at the British Independent Film Awards and Screen Actors Guild Awards and she looks set to pick up another Oscar nod.
- Emma Thompson: Saving Mr Banks
Saving Mr Banks is another movie that has been moving film audiences this autumn.
The film tells the story of how Mary Poppins was adapted from a book to a film and the struggle Walt Disney had in getting the rights from author P.L. Travers.
Thompson takes on the role of Travers in what is a terrific performance from the actress; she is a woman who is fiercely protective of what she has created.
In less-experienced hands, Travers could be seen as a rather cold character, and yet Thompson has depicted her as a woman who stands by what she believes in.
- Kate Winslet: Labor Day
The Best Actress - Drama category really does have a British feel to it as three out of the five actresses hail from the UK.
Kate Winslet completes the British trio as she has got a nod for her performance in Labor Day.
This marks the tenth Golden Globe for the actress, and she already has three wins under her belt.
Labor Day is a big screen adaptation of the novel of the same name by Joyce Maynard and sees Winslet team up with Josh Brolin for the first time.
- Sally Hawkins: Blue Jasmine
When it comes to Blue Jasmine, everyone seems to be talking about the central performance of Cate Blanchett, so its fantastic to see Sally Hawkins recognised.
Hawkins takes on the role of Blanchett's sister whose world is turned upside down when Jasmine comes to stay.
Hawkins and Blanchett make an excellent dramatic and comic acting team and this relationship is a core element to the success of this movie.
This is a second Golden Globe nomination for Hawkins, after she scooped the Best Actress - Musical/Comedy for her performance in Happy-Go-Lucky.
- Michael Fassbender: 12 Years A Slave
I know that Michael Fassbender is technically Irish, but it is fantastic to see him wonderful work in 12 Years A Slave recognised.
Fassbender teams up with director Steve McQueen for the third time for this project... a film that sees him take on the role of the horrible plantation owner Epps.
Fassbender delivers a wonderful performance as he shows a menace and almost evil that is just riveting.
The actor picked up a Best Actor - Drama Golden Globe nod two years ago, but was controversially overlooked at the Oscars. However, I don't think that he will be overlooked this time around.
- Paul Greengrass: Captain Phillips
It's not just in the acting categories where there is a strong British presence, as our directors are getting involved as well.
Paul Greengrass has picked up a Best Director nod for his work on the fantastic Captain Phillips: which was also nominated for Best Picture - Drama.
The movie marked the return of Greengrass to the director's chair - we hadn't seen him since Green Zone - and he teamed up with Tom Hanks for the first time.
Captain Phillips follows the experience of the title character, who finds his ship invaded by Somali pirates.
- Steve McQueen: 12 Years A Slave
Steve McQueen is the other British director in the mix for his work on 12 Years A Slave.
12 Years A Slave is just the third movie of McQueen's directing career as it follows Hunger and Shame.
The movie is based on the memoir of Solomon Northup and follows his fight to survive after being sold into slavery.
12 Years A Slave has been one of the most talked about movies this autumn and is set to be a major Oscar contender.
The Golden Globe winners will be announced 12th January 2014.
