CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: 'Tis the season to be handing out awards and this is the weekend for handing out the 60th Golden Globe Awards.
CNN's Jodi Ross runs down the list of the major nominations.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

JODI ROSS, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): One thing you might say about this year's Golden Globe nominees is you go girl!

SUSAN SARANDON: I beg your pardon?

(END VIDEO CLIP)

ROSS: Months show biz experts agree that in 2002, there was an abundance of roles for women, both in quantity and quality.

RICHARD GERE, "CHICAGO": It's usually the hooker who has to cut her hair and then, you know, is something, is abused somehow and becomes whatever. But these are, seem to be like full, normal people, you know, who are recognizable as people. I think it's certainly a good time for our business.

JILL BERNSTEIN, SENIOR EDITOR, "PREMIERE": I really, truly believe that all of these women nominated, these 10 women nominated for Golden Globes in the best acting category are worthy. I don't know if I've felt that way in a long time. I mean they've just really just taken it to the limit.

ROSS: But why? Those with Globe nods under their belt have their theories.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP FROM "UNFAITHFUL")

DIANE LANE "UNFAITHFUL": We can raise some money, sell everything and just leave the country.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

LANE: I think that that's due to more women involved in writing and producing and directing and the women's experience being less of a chick flick mentality.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP FROM "ABOUT SCHMIDT") KATHY BATES, "ABOUT SCHMIDT": Now, Randall, he knows how to treat a woman.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BATES: It certainly is women like myself, who are getting older as actresses, 40s and 50s, and I think there are writers out there who still want to see us work and there's a public that wants to see us.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP FROM "FRIDA")

SALMA HAYEK, "FRIDA": If you think I'm going to sleep with you just because you've taken me under your wing, you're wrong.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HAYEK: Sometimes the studios didn't do some movies where they were, you know, female driven because they didn't think there was an audience out there, and I think this year proves that that's wrong.

ROSS: Maybe so, but the fact is aside from "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," these films did not bring in the mega bucks. BERNSTEIN: "Unfaithful" did about $50 or so million, which I think is the most successful of the bunch, which is, you know, not shabby.

ROSS (on camera): If there was any question that this is the year of the woman, then tonight at the National Board of Review Awards, that was laid to rest.

(voice-over): Films that feature ensemble female casts were acknowledged, like "The Hours" and "Chicago," two movies, five women nominated.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP FROM "CHICAGO")

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Baby, you couldn't buy that kind of publicity.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

QUEEN LATIFAH, "CHICAGO": It's about having executives in Hollywood who are women and who will make these kinds of movies and having strong men in Hollywood who are supported by strong women, and so they want to tell these stories.

ROSS: The hope is that there will be more tales to tell and more famous females to give them a voice.

JULIANNE MOORE, "FAR FROM HEAVEN": Oh, yes, it means more work for me.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: That's great. We'll be in touch.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You know, I'm not quite finished yet. ROSS: Jodi Ross, CNN Entertainment News, New York.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

COSTELLO: And stay with CNN throughout the weekend for live coverage of the events leading up to Sunday night's 60th Golden Globe Awards ceremony.
