Golden Globes Nominations: ‘The Shape of Water’ & ‘The Post’ Tops in Film, ‘Big Little Lies’ Leads TV
UPDATED with more details: Guillermo del Toro’s fantastical period drama The Shape of Water, led all film categories this morning as the 75th Golden Globes unveiled nominations. The film scored director and screenplay noms for del Toro, acting noms for star Sally Hawkins, Richard Jenkins and Octavia Spencer, and for Alexandre Desplat’s score.
The film is from Fox Searchlight, the studio that won back-to-back Best Picture Oscars in 2014 and 2015 with 12 Years a Slave and Birdman, respectively. It is back in the hunt in a big way this year too: its Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri had six noms, tied with 20th Century’s Fox’s Pentagon Papers drama The Post for second-most among films.
Those three are in the hunt for the marquee Best Picture – Drama category this year at the Globes, along with the indie Call Me By Your Name from Sony Pictures Classics and Christopher Nolan’s war epic Dunkirk from Warner Bros.
The Globes, which splits its best film categories, chose A24’s The Disaster Artist, Blumhouse’s Get Out, Fox’s The Greatest Showman, Neon/30West’s I, Tonya and A24’s Lady Bird in the Best Motion Picture – Comedy or Drama category. Lady Bird, which has seen success among critics groups this awards season, also landed actress noms for Saoirse Ronan and Laurie Metcalf and screenplay nom for Greta Gerwig.
Gerwig however was left off the Best Director list (as was Get Out’s Jordan Peele) in one of the morning’s surprise omissions. In fact, it was an all-male affair in the category which excluded the likes of Wonder Woman‘s Patty Jenkins (that movie was left out altogether today) and Detroit‘s Kathryn Bigelow.
Dunkirk, Greatest Showman and Call Me By Your Name all had three noms apiece.
Among the notable nominees was Christopher Plummer, who stepped in at the last minute on Ridley Scott’s All the Money in the World after Kevin Spacey was cut from the film amid sexual harassment claims dating back decades. Plummer jumped in to play J Paul Getty in the kidnapping drama, and it scored three noms this morning — for Scott as director and Michelle Williams.
On the TV side, HBO’s Big Little Lies scored a leading six nominations coming off its eight Emmy wins earlier this year. Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Shailene Woodley and Alexander Skarsgard landed acting noms today, and the series is up for Best Limited Series or TV Movie along with FX’s Fargo and Feud: Bette and Joan, USA’s The Sinner and SundanceTV’s Top of the Lake: China Girl (which also features Kidman).
That gave HBO a leading 12 noms among networks, with Netflix second with nine thanks to Stranger Things which scored a Best Drama Series mention and acting noms for David Harbour. It also had The Crown in Drama Series category joining HBO’s Game of Thrones, Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale and NBC’s This Is Us. The latter repped the broadcast nets with three nods including for Sterling K. Brown and Chrissy Metz.
