The Montana Film Office announces that Montana-shot film, "Nebraska" has received five nominations for the 71st annual Golden Globes.

The film, shot partially in Billings and Laurel, received nominations for Best Director (Alexander Payne), Best Actor, Drama (Bruce Dern), Best Supporting Actress (June Squipp), Best Screenplay, and Best Picture.

The nominations come on the heels of an already stellar awards season with Dern winning a Palme d’Or at the Cannes International Film Festival and the American Film Institute recognizing “Nebraska” as one of the Top Ten Films of the Year [2013].

Known for the success of his previous films "The Descendants," "Sideways" and "Election," Payne chose to shoot "Nebraska" in Montana as the authentic location of the story, which follows a father and son (played by Bruce Dern and Will Forte) as they travel from Montana to Nebraska on a questionable quest to collect a $1 million prize.

People driving into the state of Montana will be greeted by brand-new highway signs, which were unveiled Wednesday in Helena.

The new signs incorporate newer technology allowing for the inclusion of photographs, said a news release announcing the new signs.

The signs were unveiled by Gov. Steve Bullock and are the result of a partnership between the Montana Department of Transportation and the Montana Department of Commerce, according to the release.

“The Montana Office of Tourism at the Department of Commerce first approached the Department of Transportation about redesigning the ‘Welcome to Montana’ highway signs last year, hoping to further their existing efforts to brand Montana,” the release states.

The news signs were designed and created and will be produced in-house, according to the release.
