Stars preparing for Golden Globes


A host of stars will attend the Golden Globes in Los Angeles later, for what is expected to be the glitziest event so far in this year's awards season.

The event returns to a traditional format, having been called off and replaced by a news conference in 2008 owing to the Hollywood writers' strike.

Kate Winslet, Ralph Fiennes and Kristin Scott Thomas are among the British actors in line for honours.

The film and TV awards come from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

The Globes are often regarded as an indicator of the movies and actors who will go on to win honours at the Academy Awards on 22 February.

Unlike the Oscars or the Baftas, however, the ceremony has different categories for dramas and comedies.

Brad Pitt's fantasy The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is nominated in five film categories, as are the stage-play adaptations Doubt and Frost/Nixon.
