NEW YORK — “Birdman” squawked loudest inthe Golden Globes nominations, flying away with aleading seven nods including best picture in thecomedy or musical category.

In nominations for the 72nd annual GoldenGlobes announced Thursday morning by the Holly-wood Foreign Press Association, “Boyhood” and“The Imitation Game” trailed with five nods apiece.Those two films led a best drama category that alsoincluded “Foxcatcher,” “Selma” and “The Theory ofEverything.”

In the best picture, comedy or musical, category,“Birdman” was joined by “St. Vincent,” “Grand Bu-dapest Hotel,” “Into the Woods” and — in a surprise— the independent British film “Pride.”

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s “Birdman, or (TheUnexpected Virtue or Ignorance),” in which MichaelKeaton plays a Hollywood star trying to mount a se-rious drama on Broadway, earned nods for Keatonand supporting players Edward Norton and EmmaStone, as well as for its direction, screenplay andscore.

Richard Linklater’s long-in-the-making coming-of-age drama “Boyhood,” thus far the critical darlingand the perceived front-runner of Hollywood’sawards season, added nominations for Linklater’sdirection and script, and supporting actors EthanHawke and Patricia Arquette.

The World War II code breaker drama “The Imita-tion Game,” starring Benedict Cumberbatch asmathematician Alan Turing, also went over well withthe HFPA. In addition to its best picture nod, the We-instein Co. release won nods for Cumberbatch asbest actor, Keira Knightley for best supporting ac-tress, Graham Moore for best screenplay andAlexandre Desplat for best score.

The other nominees for best actor in a dramawere Steve Carell (“Foxcatcher”), David Oyelowo(”Selma”) and Jake Gyllenhaal (“Nightcrawler”) andEddie Redmayne (”The Theory of Everything”).

“I’ve been a bit frantic,” said Redmayne, whoplays Stephen Hawking in the film, on the phonefrom London. “I’m trying to finish all my Christmasshopping in a day, and now I got this phone call. I’mabout to have a few mulled wines to celebrate.”

Most awards season favorites were rewardedwith decent showings Thursday, though some hope-fuls failed to break through. Most notably, AngelinaJolie’s World War II drama “Unbroken” yielded nonominations at all, though Jolie has seven times pre-viously been nominated (winning thrice) by theGlobes, including a nod for best foreign languagefilm for her previous directing effort, “In the Land ofBlood and Honey.”

Clint Eastwood’s “American Sniper,” starringBradley Cooper as Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, also wentunnoticed. Christopher Nolan’s sci-fi epic “Interstel-lar” landed only a nomination for Hans Zimmer’sscore.

But “Selma,” the story of The Rev. Martin LutherKing Jr.’s 1965 march, netted a strong four nods de-spite losing out in Wednesday’s Screen Actors Guildnominations. Director Ava Duvernay became thefirst black woman nominated for best director. WesAnderson (“Grand Budapest Hotel”) and DavidFincher (”Gone Girl”) rounded out the category.

Oyelowo said the “Selma” team watched thenominations together while promoting the filmThursday at a Toronto hotel. Duvernay, who haspreviously attended the Globes as a publicist forfilms like “Dreamgirls,” said: “This year I’ll be at theparty with a seat in an actual chair instead of stand-ing on the side. It’s going to be thrilling.”

“I jumped so high for Ava I think I’ve shatteredmy kneecap,” said Oyelowo, who called “Selma” atimely, much needed film. “We’re going to celebrateby getting on a plane to Washington to show the filmto Congress.”

One of the surprise winners of the day was An-derson’s “Grand Budapest Hotel.” Along with a bestpicture nod in comedy, it earned nominations forRalph Fiennes as best actor, and Anderson forscreenplay and director.

Fiennes and Keaton were joined in best actor,comedy or musical, by Bill Murray (“St. Vincent”)and in a few less expected choices, Joaquin Phoenixfor “Inherent Vice” and Christoph Waltz for “BigEyes.”

In the best actress category, 11-year-old Quven-zhane Wallis (“Annie”) joined a battery of veteranperformers in Julianne Moore (”Maps to the Stars”),Helen Mirren (“The Hundred-Foot Journey”), AmyAdams (”Big Eyes”) and Emily Blunt (“Into theWoods”).

On the dramatic side, the best actress categorywas notable for two stars in notably less adornedperformances: Reese Witherspoon in the hikingdrama “Wild” and Jennifer Aniston for “Cake.” Alsonominated were Moore (her second, for “StillAlice”), Felicity Jones (“The Theory of Everything”)

The “Holiday Jam with the Hegg Brothers” is returning toYankton by popular demand next week.

For the second year, Historic Downtown Yankton (HDY)will bring this musical showcase, which features the talentsof a multi-piece band play-ing holiday classics as wellas contemporary arrange-ments. The show will beheld on Wednesday, Dec.17, at 7 p.m. at the DakotaTheatre at 328 Walnut.

Sioux Falls nativesand brothers Jeremy andJon Hegg started the sea-sonal band in 2009 after“A South DakotaAcoustic Christmas(ASDAC)” retired. On theband’s website, thebrothers said that afterplaying with ASDAC for19 years a gaping hole inholiday concert tradi-tions for a lot of commu-nities in the region.Because of this, “HolidayJam” was born.

The brothers invited a network of talented musiciansthey had met throughout their many years in the music in-dustry to join the endeavor. The Hegg brothers hoped tocarry out the spirit of the “Acoustic Christmas” traditionwhile making it something uniquely their own. “Holiday Jam”promises a twist on the holiday that seasonal audiencesaren’t soon to forget with unique arrangements such as “OHoly Night” as a soulful ballad and “What Child Is This” in aLatin style.

The band is now featuring a 10-member ensemble and isplaying for near-sell-out crowds across South Dakota.

“The whole performance is just wonderful,” HDY boardmember Kathy Church said. “They play every instrumentthat you can imagine.”

Keyboards, guitars, percussion, drums, upright bass andhorns are just some of the instruments audiences will seethis multi-talented band play.

Church said the atmosphere of the show will match theholiday theme of the music.

“The stage will be decorated beautifully for Christmas,”she said. “It is a big production. It is very classy and enter-taining.”

This two-hour show will also feature stories for the holi-day.

“It is just a great show for the season,” Church said. The band expressed its interest in playing in Yankton last

year and invited some HDY board members toattend a concert held in Sioux Falls.

“The band said that this would be a placethat they would love to play again,” Churchsaid.

She said the board mem-bers were very impressed withthe production.

“I came out of the concertjust feeling good,” Church said.

“That is how music is sup-posed to make you feel.”

Church said she wasalso surprised to see somany Yankton residents inattendance.

“After seeing everything,we really wanted them tocome to Yankton,” she said.

Church said last yearsconcert was a huge success,

which is why the show wasbrought back to Yankton for 2014.

“So many people came,” she said. “It really was a greatturnout.”

HDY will have a wine bar at the event that will sell localwine.

“We like to keep things local,” Church said.A concession stand will also be available and a 50/50 raf-

fle tickets that can be purchased with the concert tickets oron the night of the concert. The winner will be drawn thatevening.
