A Single Man – Receives Three Golden Globe Nominations

16 December 2009

A SINGLE MAN, the highly anticipated debut feature from Tom Ford, has received three Golden Globe nominations.  Colin Firth has been nominated for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture (drama), Julianne Moore for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture and a nomination for Composer Abel Korzeniowski in the Best Original Score in a Motion Picture category.

"The Hollywood Foreign Press have just given me time out from my 20 year midlife crisis. My heartfelt thanks to them." – COLIN FIRTH

“I am so honored and thrilled to be among the Golden Globe nominees this year. I am happy for everybody - particularly my friend Colin Firth!” – JULIANNE MOORE

A SINGLE MAN will open across the UK through Icon Film Distribution on 12 February. This follows its World Premiere in September at the Venice Film Festival, where Colin Firth won the Best Actor award for his performance as George Falconer.

Synopsis:

Set in Los Angeles in 1962, at the height of the Cuban missile crisis, A SINGLE MAN, is the story of George Falconer, a 52 year old British college professor [Colin Firth] who is struggling to find meaning to his life after the death of his long time partner, Jim [Matthew Goode]. George dwells on the past and cannot see his future as we follow him through a single day, where a series of events and encounters, ultimately leads him to decide if there is a meaning to life after Jim. George is consoled by his closest friend Charley [Julianne Moore], a 48 year old beauty who is wrestling with her own questions about the future. A young student of George’s, Kenny [Nicholas Hoult], who is coming to terms with his true nature, stalks George as he feels in him a kindred spirit.

A SINGLE MAN is a romantic tale of love interrupted, the isolation that is an inherent part of the human condition, and ultimately the importance of the seemingly smaller moments in life.

The story is an adaptation based on a novel by Christopher Isherwood and is directed by Tom Ford.
