Cillian Murphy nominated for Golden Globe

CILLIAN MURPHY and Pierce Brosnan were nominated in the best actor category yesterday as gay cowboy romance Brokeback Mountain swept the boards at the Golden Globes with seven nominations.

Brosnan was nominated for best actor in a movie, musical or comedy, for his role as a burned-out hitman in The Matador, while Corkman Cillian Murphy won his nod for his part as a cross-dressing Irishman in Breakfast on Pluto.

This category is separate from the best dramatic actor.
