The Golden Globe Nominees have been announced and it seems many of the nominees, scattered through out all the categories are Jewish. There is Israeli born Natalie Portman, Darren Aronofsky, Jesse Eisenberg, David Seidler, Aaron Sorkin, Andrew Garfield amongst others.
Up for best actor in a musical or comedy is Paul Giamatti of “Barney’s Version,” based on a novel by Canadian-Jewish author Mordecai Richler.
David Seidler who Directed the "The Kings Speech," is up for Best Film and has seven nominations all together. The film was partly inspired by the flight of his family from the Nazis, his personal family trauma. Seidler stated in a interview that he "believes viewers relate to the film because “It’s not just about being a king or a stutterer. It’s about any kind of marginalization. And when we’re talking about marginalization from society,” he added, “this is something that certainly resonates with the Jewish community.”
