Sweeney Todd

"The Diving Bell and the Butterfly," "Juno," "Michael Clayton," "No Country for Old Men" and "There Will Be Blood" were nominated Monday for the Producers Guild of America's top honors. Notably missing from the list were "Atonement," which won the Golden Globe Award on Sunday as best dramatic picture of 2007, and the Globe winner in the musical or comedy category, "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street." Since its inception in 1990, the honor -- called the Darryl F.

"ATONEMENT," director Joe Wright's epic romantic drama of redemption starring Keira Knightley and James McAvoy, won the 65th annual Golden Globe award for best motion picture drama Sunday evening, capping off a night overshadowed by the crippling Writers Guild strike. The film, which had received seven Globe nominations but had gone largely overlooked by critics organizations and in the guild nominations, also captured best original score.

"No Country for Old Men" racked up two more accolades Friday, scoring nominations from the American Cinema Editors and the Art Directors Guild. The editing nomination went to Roderick Jaynes, the pseudonym used by filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen. Also nominated for best edited dramatic feature film were Christopher Rouse for "The Bourne Ultimatum," Jay Cassidy for "Into the Wild," John Gilroy for "Michael Clayton" and Dylan Tichenor for "There Will Be Blood." Vying in the best edited feature film comedy or musical are Michael Tronick for "Hairspray," Dana E. Glauberman for "Juno," Craig Wood and Stephen Rivkin for "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End," Darren Holmes for "Ratatouille" and Chris Lebenzon for "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street."

ALTHOUGH only 82 members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. vote on the Golden Globes, they have vast influence. Performances largely ignored early in awards season have emerged as major Oscar players after winning Globes (Angelina Jolie, "Girl, Interrupted"; Kathy Bates, "Misery"). And quite a few low-rated TV champs not only went on to Emmy glory later, but reaped huge Nielsen jackpots immediately after striking Globe gold ("Ally McBeal," "The Shield"). BEST PICTURE, DRAMA "American Gangster" "Atonement" "Eastern Promises" "The Great Debaters" "Michael Clayton" "No Country for Old Men" "There Will Be Blood" BEST PICTURE, COMEDY OR MUSICAL "Across the Universe" "Charlie Wilson's War" "Hairspray" "Juno" "Sweeney Todd" BEST DIRECTOR Tim Burton, "Sweeney Todd" Joel Coen and Ethan Coen, "No Country for Old Men" Julian Schnabel, "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" Ridley Scott, "American Gangster" Joe Wright, "Atonement" SPOTLIGHT: Only once in the last 20 years did a dramatic film win without its director being nominated: "Scent of a Woman" (1992)

Warner Bros. named Kevin McCormick president of production at the Burbank movie studio. He succeeds Jeff Robinov, who recently took on the elevated role of president of Warner Bros. Pictures Group. McCormick will oversee the creative team and development of movies produced by the studio. He will also continue to oversee Warner's New York and London offices. McCormick joined Warner in 1999 and in his former role as executive vice president of production supervised such movies as "Blood Diamond," Tim Burton's "Sweeney Todd" and David Fincher's upcoming "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button."

There is no doubt Oscar will take a shine to Johnny Depp's performance and the startling production design, costumes and cinematography in "Sweeney Todd," but after the mixed reaction the film has received from audiences across the country, hopes of a best picture nod may be a bit too optimistic. -- 10.
