Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet & Aaron Sorkin pick up Golden Globe nominations for 'Steve Jobs'
Three of the key players in Danny Boyle's Steve Jobs biopic -- actors Michael Fassbender and Kate Winslet, along with screenwriter Aaron Sorkin -- were officially selected as nominees for this year's Golden Globes on Thursday.
Fassbender was put forward for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture -- Drama, while co-star Winslet was selected for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role. Sorkin is up for a possible Best Screenplay -- Motion Picture award.
A fourth person involved with the movie, composer Daniel Pemberton, is competing for Best Original Score -- Motion Picture.
The winners will be announced Jan. 10 at 8 p.m. Eastern time on NBC. Notably Steve Jobs was released by Universal, which is under the same parent company as NBC.
Despite good reviews and strong limited-run sales, the movie bombed at the box office when it entered wide release in October. In the space of a month it grossed just $16 million, despite costing over $30 million to make.
The accuracy of the movie was criticized by some people who knew Jobs, such as his widow Laurene. Some critics have blamed the financial failure of the movie on its three-act screenplay, which breaks with biopic conventions, and/or a lack of public interest in the subject matter.

Comments
The actors are a different story. I blame the failure of the movie on the infantile script. He made it all about the daughter. Major, career-tanking blunder.
Or pull a Stalin and give him a Uranium-laced Steel Globe.
I never trusted that Sorkin character.
Did they have to specially request that?
I was under the impression that the issue would be fixed soon for everybody.
When I viewed the Jobs movie I believe it to be one of the best movies of the year. It is a brilliant, artistic depiction of the soul of Apple not a linear retelling of a man's life as with so many bio movies. My take from Steve Jobs was that nobody, NOBODY could have given birth to this company in the tech world because nobody before could see beyond the science of what they did never mind blend it seamlessly with art and society.
As for the Apple cult which I mentioned above, I know believe by reading the hatred for this movie posted on this site (from people that have not even seen this movie) that the Windows/PC press was correct about most of you all along.
but hey, youre a twenty-year fan of Apple. thats not a troll trope or anything, is it...
