The World War Two saga also earned best dramatic actor and actress nominations, respectively, for Scottish performer James McAvoy and his English-born leading lady, Keira Knightley, for their roles as lovers torn apart by a family lie and the conflict in Europe.
The filmmaker behind Atonement, Joe Wright, was nominated for best director, and the 13-year-old actress Saoirse Ronan earned a nod for her supporting role as the younger sister who betrays Knightley's character. Other nominations came for best screenplay and musical score.
In a first for the Golden Globe awards, which are given out by some 90 members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), the top category of best film drama was shared by seven nominees instead of the usual five.
"That tells us it was a very good year for dramas, and it was very difficult for us to pick the nominees," HFPA president Jorge Camara said. He said that three movies tied for the fifth position among dramas, leading to the seven nominations.
Three of the remaining five were crime dramas - American Gangster, Eastern Promises and the latest from Joel and Ethan Coen, No Country for Old Men. Rounding out the category were two period pieces - There Will Be Blood, about the rise of an oil baron in the early 1900s, and The Great Debaters, a Depression-era story of race relations and hope.
