Seven Golden Globe nominations for `Sideways'

BEVERLY HILLS, DEC. 13 . The road-trip flick `Sideways' led Golden Globe contenders today with seven nominations, including best musical or comedy film, three acting nominations and best director.

`The Aviator', the Howard Hughes biography, was second with six nominations, including best dramatic feature, two acting nominations and best director.

Other best drama nominees were `Closer', a caustic sex tale; `Finding Neverland,' the story of Peter Pan creator J.M. Barrie; `Hotel Rwanda,' a tale set against the genocide in that country; `Kinsey,' a film biography of sex researcher Alfred Kinsey, and the boxing saga `Million Dollar Baby'.

Along with `Sideways', best musical or comedy nominees were the whimsical romance `Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'; the animated superhero adventure `The Incredibles'; `The Phantom of the Opera', adapted from the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, and the Ray Charles film biography `Ray'.
