The 2012 Golden Globe nominations have been announced with French silent film The Artist leading the pack with six nods with quite a few surprises.

The nominations were announced by Sofia Vergara, Woody Harrelson, Rashida Jones and Gerard Butler at the Beverly Hilton Hotel - with the Globes thought to be a good indication who may receive nods at The Oscars next year.

The Golden Globes are set to take place on 15th January and will once again be hosted by the UK's very own Ricky Gervais.
