Aussies charge for Golden Globes

HOMEGROWN A-listers Margot Robbie, Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman will lead the Aussie charge at next year’s Golden Globe Awards.

Robbie has been nominated in the best comedy/musical actress category for her title role in I, Tonya ,an unconventional biopic based on real-life, disgraced figure skater Tonya Harding.

The Queensland actor also co-produced the film, which opens in Australia on January 25, and could collect another trophy if, I Tonya triumphs in the best comedy/musical category in which it is also nominated.

The Golden Globes is traditionally one of the indicators of success at the Academy Awards.

Nicole Kidman also continued her red hot streak with a couple of nominations for Big Little

Lies and is a chance to repeat her Emmys double for best actor in a limited series or TV movie and as a producer in best TV movie or limited series.

Fellow Aussie A-lister Hugh Jackman could also repeat his best comedy/musical actor success for Les

Miserables four years ago with another all-singing, all-dancing role as circus entrepreneur PT Barnum in The Greatest Showman. It opens in Australia on Boxing Day.

Other Australian actors nominated were Oscar-winner Geoffrey Rush for his acclaimed portrayal of Albert Einstein in Genius and 21-year-old Katherine Langford for her role as Hannah Baker in the controversial Netflix teen drama, 13 Reasons Why.
