Gangs of New York set to hit screens

The film we've all been waiting for is finally set to explode across our screens...and already it has collected a clutch of prestige Golden Globe nominations (traditionally a sure sign of further success in the Oscar race).

Director Martin Scorsese's epic Gangs of New York, which he first planned way back in l978 and which was hit by script, funding and release problems when he finally got around to making it, has collected Globe nominations for Best Dramatic Film and for Best Dramatic Actor (Daniel Day-Lewis).
