The 71st Annual Golden Globes nominees are in and we have the extraordinary list. The line up was broadcasted on NBC's The Today Show. Olivia Wilde, Zoe Saldana and Aziz Ansari gave us the names of the actors, directors, television series and motion pictures that were honored with the chance to win the prestigious award within their category.

To our surprise Forest Whitaker's and Oprah Winfrey's "The Butler" was not nominated for any category. However, the name we did hear over and over was "12 Years a Slave" which was nominated for more than one award. Break out actress Lupita Nyong'o couldn't stop smiling while being interviewed on The Today Show right after she found out that she was nominated for a Golden Globe.
