Film Atonement memimpin perolehan nominasi dalam ajang Golden Globes. Drama Inggris ini mendapatkan tujuh nominasi, mengungguli film.
Saga Perang Dunia II tersebut meraih nominasi untuk aktor dan aktris drama terbaik untuk James McAvoy dan Keira Knightley.
Sutradara Atonement, Joe Wright, dinominasikan sebagai sutradara terbaik. Saoirse Ronan yang memerankan saudara perempuan yang mengkhianati peran Knightley mendapatkan nominasi untuk aktris pendukung terbaik. Best screenplay dan musical score menyumbang nominasi terbaik juga.
