Hollywood superstar Johnny Depp did not expect to receive two nominations for next year's Golden Globes and was "touched" with the honours.
The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star is tipped twice in the Best Actor
(Musical or Comedy) category, for his lead roles in Tim Burton's 'Alice In Wonderland' and new film 'The Tourist'.
Depp admits he was surprised when the nominations were announced on Tuesday, saying, "I certainly didn't expect two nominations in the same category, but if that's what they saw, I guess that's what they saw. I'm very touched. It's always very sweet and very nice to be acknowledged for your work."
Depp's 'The Tourist' co-star Angelina Jolie is also nominated for her role in the movie, receiving a nod in the Best Actress (Musical or Comedy) category.
Jolie was pleasantly surprised by the news because she's never been acknowledged in a comedy category before, reported Contactmusic. "You work hard at something and you do a film that you
love and you never know how it will be responded to, and it's been nice that audiences have enjoyed it and seen it, but to be acknowledged in that way is obviously an honour and very, very nice. And we were laughing, because it's the first time I've been in the comedic category, so it's new for me," she said.
The 68th annual Golden Globe Awards, hosted by British Ricky Gervais, will take place on January 16 in Los Angeles.
