BEIJING, Dec. 14 (Xinhuanet)-- The Chinese-language "Lust, Caution" was nominated for Best Foreign Language movie Friday by the 65th Golden Globes in Los Angeles.

The award ceremony is slated for Jan. 13, 2008.

Along with "Lust, Caution," four others were also nominated as Best Foreign Language movies. They are "4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days" (Romania), "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" (France), "The Kite Runner" (U.S.), and "Persepolis" (France).

Directed by Ang Lee, "Lust, Caution" was shot outside U.S. and partly produced by foreign entities, but was financed and distributed by U.S. companies.

World War II film saga "Atonement" earned seven Golden Globe nominations, including one for best drama, to lead the pack of movies vying for a key Hollywood honor in the widely watched awards season.
