It's Hollywood awards season, which means there are too many prestige films for you to watch and not enough time to see them all. This morning, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced—via actors Don Cheadle, Laura Dern and Anna Kendrick—this year's nominations in both film and TV categories for the 74th Golden Globes. Critical darlings Moonlight, La La Land and Manchester by the Sea led film nominees with numerous nods, while new programs, The Crown, The Night Of, This Is Us, Stranger Things and Westworld were recognized, on the TV side.
Here are some highlights, followed by a list of the complete nominations below:
- Writer-director power: Barry Jenkins (Moonlight), Damien Chazelle (La-La Land), Kenneth Lonergan (Manchester by the Sea) and Tom Ford (Nocturnal Animals) all got Best Director and Best Screenplay nominations. The fifth Screenplay nominee is Taylor Sheridan for Hell or High Water (which also got nominations for Best Picture, Drama, and Jeff Bridges as Best Actor, Drama) and the fifth Best Director nominee is Mel Gibson for Hacksaw Ridge.
So inspiring to continue to see how Mel Gibson redeemed himself in Hollywood by doing absolutely nothing https://t.co/BDxK3mAAHd

- Lin-Manuel Miranda continued his march towards an EGOT with a nomination for Best Song, for writing "How Far I'll Go" in Moana
- We guess the HFPA really wants to see Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively dazzle on the red carpet—Reynolds was nominated for Best Actor (Comedy or Musical) for Deadpool. The other nominees in the category are Colin Farrell for The Lobster (basically the opposite of Deadpool), Hugh Grant for Florence Foster Jenkins, Jonah Hill for War Dogs and Ryan Gosling for La La Land.
Thank you, Golden Globes! As we speak, the entire Deadpool team is engaged in a grotesque, early morning tickle-fight. pic.twitter.com/l2LJT32tAi

- Issa Rae got a Best Actress (Comedy) nomination for Insecure!!!
- Donald Glover was nominated for Best Actor (Comedy) for Atlanta, which was also nominated for Best Comedy!!!!!!
- Sing Street, the shaggy and incredibly charming film from Once writer-director John Carney, about a group of Irish teens in the 1980s putting together a band, was nominated for Best Picture (Comedy or Musical). It's streaming on Netflix—see it!
- Jackie's only nomination was for Natalie Portman's portrayal of the First Lady, with no Best Picture (Drama) acknowledgement. Director Pablo Larrain's other film, Neruda, was nominated for Best Foreign Film.
- Breakout heart-tugging hit This is Us was nominated for Best TV Drama and scored two Best Supporting Actress nominations for Mandy Moore and Chrissy Metz. Co-star Sterling K. Brown was nominated for Best Supporting Actor—but for The People V. O.J. Simpson, which got four other nominations (including acting ones for Sarah Paulson, Courtney B. Vane and John Travolta).
In my experience, when my phone starts buzzing at 5:30 AM it means someone's dead or in jail. This was much better. #ThisIsUs #GoldenGlobes

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
