Mike Leigh is bringing love and care to the Golden Globes’ comedy race.

Bleecker Street will submit “Tender Loving Care,” Leigh’s likely final film, in the musical or comedy categories at the upcoming 84th Golden Globes, Variety has learned exclusively.

Marion Bailey will compete for best actress in a musical or comedy, where she is expected to face contenders including Julianne Moore (“The Debut”), Inde Navarrette (“Obsession”) and Olivia Wilde (“The Invite”). Kate O’Flynn, Alice Bailey Johnson and Paul Jesson will compete in the supporting acting races, which the Globes do not divide by genre. The submissions mirror the studio’s overall acting strategy heading into the Oscar campaign.
