BEVERLY HILLS, California (News Agencies) - The Roman epic "Gladiator" and the drug war drama "Traffic" led the motion picture Golden Globe nominations Thursday with five each.
In awards that often predict the Oscar race, "Traffic" director Steven Soderbergh received two best-director nominations, for that movie and "Erin Brockovich."
"Traffic" also received nominations for dramatic picture, supporting actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, supporting actor Benicio Del Toro and the screenplay by Stephen Gaghan.
"Gladiator" was nominated for dramatic picture, best dramatic actor for Russell Crowe, supporting actor Joaquin Phoenix, director Ridley Scott and its musical score. The other best dramatic picture nominees were "Billy Elliot," "Erin Brockovich," "Sunshine" and "Wonder Boys."
The Golden Globe nominations often serve as indicators for how the year's movies will fare when Oscar nominees are announced in February. In past years, movies such as "American Beauty," "Saving Private Ryan" or "Titanic" emerged as clear front-runners.
Nominees are chosen by the association's roughly 90 members, who cover Hollywood for overseas publications.
Unlike the Oscars, top categories for the Golden Globes are divided into two sets, dramatic movies and musicals or comedies. Winners in the Globe dramatic categories are more likely to go on to win Oscars.
In the past 57 years, one of the two best-picture winners at the Golden Globes has taken the same honor at the Oscars 41 times.
"The Golden Globe is a genuine crystal ball for the Oscars," said Thomas O'Neil, author of "Movie Awards," a book due out next month that examines film honors.
The 1999 Golden Globes correctly predicted Oscar wins for "American Beauty" and director Sam Mendes, "Boys Don't Cry" star Hilary Swank and "Girl, Interrupted" supporting actress Angelina Jolie.
The Golden Globe Awards will air live on NBC on Jan. 21.
