The nominees for the 75th annual Golden Globe Awards were announced over the course of this morning in a ceremony at the Beverly Hills Hilton. The awards will air on January 7 on NBC with Seth Meyers as the host. Some of the movies and TV shows to rack up the most significant number of nominations include Guillermo del Toro’s sea monster romance The Shape of Water, Steven Spielberg’s Pentagon Papers drama The Post, the all-star HBO melodrama Big Little Lies, and Martin McDonough’s politically-charged dark comedy Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Barely or not represented at all: Twin Peaks, The Young Pope, The Florida Project, Good Time (not at all), and Girls Trip (not at all). You can check out the nominees in major categories below, and the full list of nominees here.
