NAOMI Watts’ bid for an Oscar has hit a roadblock, but Australian actress Frances O’Connor and singer-songwriters Sia Furler and Lorde came up big at the Golden Globes nomination ceremony.

The Lego Movie, made in Sydney by animation and visual effects studio Animal Logic, scored a nomination for the animated movie category.

However, Angelina Jolie and her Australian-made World War II drama Unbroken were snubbed by Globe voters the nomination ceremony in Beverly Hills.

Watts yesterday scored two surprise Screen Actors Guild supporting actress nomination for her role in the comedy-drama St Vincent and an ensemble nomination for Birdman.

The SAG nods breathed life into her Oscar campaign, but she felt no love at the Globe nomination ceremony.

The supporting actress nominees were Patricia Arquette (Boyhood), Meryl Streep (Into The Woods), Keira Knightley (The Imitation Game), Emma Stone (Birdman) and Jessica Chastain (A Most Violent Year).

Watts’ longtime love, Liev Schreiber, did get a Golden Globe invite with a nomination for best actor in a TV series drama for his starring role in Ray Donovan.

Perth-raised O’Connor was nominated for best actress in a mini-series or TV movie for her performance in The Missing, where she plays a mother suffering from the abduction of her young son during a family vacation in France.
