Laura Pausini got a Golden Globe nomination Wednesday for best original song for The Life Ahead, Sophia Loren's latest film directed by her son Edoardo Ponti, but the Italian screen legend missed out. The film was also nominated as best foreign language film, as well as for the score.

Singer-songwriter Pausini is nominated for the song 'Io sì/ Seen', written with Diane Warren and Niccolò Agliardi. Loren, 86, had been heavily tipped to get a Golden Globe nod for her performance in The Life Ahead, in which she plays Madam Rosa, a former prostitute and Holocaust survivor who provides childcare for the children of "working women."
