The Hollywood Foreign Press Association lavished additional love on “The Ides of March,” nominating George Clooney for best director and star Ryan Gosling in the best actor in a drama field, where he’ll compete against, yes, Clooney, who received expected recognition for “The Descendants.” Brad Pitt (“Moneyball”), Leonardo DiCaprio (“J. Edgar”) and Michael Fassbender (“Shame”) are their competition.


Gosling was nominated for best actor in a musical or comedy as well, for “Crazy Stupid Love.” Ironically, neither of his two nods was for the film that, arguably, attracted the most buzz this year on his behalf: “Drive.”


Albert Brooks, who played a no-nonsense heavy in that film, was recognized in the best supporting actor field.
