Kiefer Sutherland is having a lot to celebrate this week. After receiving his star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame on Tuesday, the hunky actor has also just learned he's been awarded a Golden Globe nod for his lead role in TV movie 24: Redemption.
It is the sixth time the Canadian actor has been nominated for his performance as counter-terrorist agent Jack Bauer in the programme, the seventh season of which the South Africa-lensed film preludes.
Joining the veteran star in the spotlight is fellow Canadian and Oscar-winning actress Anna Paquin. The 26-year-old luminary was recognised for her part in the TV drama series True Blood.
Meanwhile, Montreal-born actor Elias Koteas and Ontario-born Oliver Platt saw their respective films, The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button and Frost/Nixon, receive five nods each, including ones for best dramatic picture.
The Golden Globe Awards ceremony will take place on January 11 in Los Angeles.

The New 24 Will Blow You Away
Michael Klick/FOX Hooray for presents! 24's big boss Howard Gordon sent us the following for Christmas last week:
- The first four hours of the new season of 24, which starts Jan. 11.
- A Jack Bauer action figure.
- A letter warning that the Jack doll "will be watching for any spoilers."
We have blindfolded, gagged and bound Mini-Jack in order to share with you some scoop on the new season, as well as new sneak peek video, but we have to hurry!
Jack can get himself out of anything, as you know (even a disappointing sixth season, as it turns out), so quick! Check this out before he breaks loose.
FOX Five Reasons the New Season of 24 Rocks
1. The "Good Old" 24 Is Back! Any of you who were disappointed in season six (and yes, we are with you) will be pleased to know that the high-stakes, high-drama and fully engrossing storylines and action of the earlier seasons of 24 have most assuredly returned for season seven.
In the first four hours alone, there are enough twists to turn your stomach into a pretzel (who's working for whom, where Jack is heading, etc.), and yet the plotlines are handled smartly and delicately enough to avoid Heroes syndrome (way too much happening way too fast to too many people). These guys know what they're doing.
2. Tony Almeda Is Freaking Back! No, it's not a dream, a shower sequence or a Francinator-like clone. Tony Almeda (Carlos Bernard) is among the living. And where he's been and what he's been up to will most assuredly leave your jaw hanging—as well as Jack's.
3. The New Cast Does Not Suck: You Chloe (Mary Lynn Rajskub) devotees might be turned off by the idea of what appears very much to be a new Chloe—Janine Garafalo as an FBI computer whiz helping out Team Jack. But rest assured, there's a reason they've brought in a Chloe clone: The two geekalicious girls will be going head-to-head in no time, and the smackdown is thoroughly entertaining.
Also worth noting: The new femme fatale in Jack's life, Renee Walker (Annie Wersching) is instantly respectable, likeable and ultimately more badass than she might first appear.
4. Jack Is Sorta, Um, Bad: Forget CTU. Forget glossy, glamorous offices, big budgets and endless high-tech help of yesterseason. Ultimately this season of 24 will show Jack (who begins his day in a Senate hearing as a wanted man) in a much more rebellious and renegade light than we've seen him before. And that's because he'll be working with...
Crap! Jack Doll has awoken. Gotta go.
