There was some serious competition for hottest Golden Globe Nominee on the 2012  Nomination List released today, but when it came to our Crush of the Week, there was a clear winner. Joseph Gordon-Levitt, nominated for Best Actor in Comedy for his role in 50/50 as Adam, a cancer patient with a 50/50 chance of survival, has been filling our eye candy appetite for years, and making a name for himself as a super talented Hollywood staple. Involved in acting since childhood, Levitt took a break from performing to attend Columbia University, where he studied French Poetry, History, and Literature (brains and brawn, anybody?). This isn’t his first Golden Globe nomination: his role as a hopeless romantic in love with a hard-hearted realist in (500) Days of Summer earned him his first  Best Actor in a Comedy nomination last year. He’s also been nominated for MTV, People’s and Teen Choice Awards. His smooth moves in the role of role of suave, well-dressed “point man” in 2010′s Inception as earning him nods for Best Kiss, Best Fight, and Best Breakout Actor. Having proven his skill as a funny man, and an action star, Levitt will be starring in two major blockbusters next summer. In Premium Rush, slated for release in late July, he plays a bike messenger with a serious need for speed on the run from the cops. He’ll also be appearing in The Dark Knight Rising, as a young police office working with Commissioner Gordon. We don’t know about you, but we definitely won’t be missing the chance to see this heartthrob at full speed and in full uniform. Don’t forget to put the Golden Globes on your calendar! On January 15th, 2012, we’ll be glued to our TV’s, hoping for a glimpse of our “Crush of the Week” on the red carpet.
