Sam Mendes' Revolutionary Road and Saul Dibb's The Duchess, two co-productions from ±«Óãtv Films, the feature film-making arm of the ±«Óãtv, have received five Golden Globe nominations today, with Armando Iannucci's In The Loop selected for the Premieres section, and Lone Scherfig's An Education competing in the World Cinema section at the upcoming Sundance Film Festival.
