With this, Sacha Baron Cohen has tied Golden Globe record for the most nods by a performer in a single year, being the third person to do so. The other two actors are Helen Mirren and Jamie Foxx. Back in 2007, Mirren set the Golden Globe record after receiving three nominations, one for best actress in a motion picture for The Queen, next for best actress in a miniseries or TV movie for Elizabeth I, and the last for Prime Suspect: The Final Act. She grabbed two for The Queen and Elizabeth I. Foxx equaled her record in 2005 when he was nominated in the best actor in a drama for Ray, best supporting actor for Collateral, and best actor in a miniseries or TV movie for Redemption. He won the honor for Ray. Now, it will be exciting to see if Sacha Baron Cohen wins any, and in what category would it be.
