The full list of nominees for the 2017 Golden Globe Awards has officially been released — and Moonlight has come out a strong contender.
The nominees were announced during a Monday morning press conference streamed live on Facebook from The Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles.
La La Land led the motion picture drama nominations with a total of seven, but Moonlight, which chronicles the story of a young gay African-American man coming to terms with his sexuality in ’80s-era South Florida, snagged an impressive six.
Moonlight earned nods for Best Motion Picture for a Drama and Best Original Screenplay. Mahershala Ali was nominated for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture, and Naomie Harris for Best Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture. Director Barry Harris was nominated for Best Director of a Motion Picture, and Nicholas Britell was nominated for Best Original Score for the film.
For television, The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story led the pack with five nominations, followed by The Night Manager, which earned four.
This year’s Golden Globes ceremony is also set to honor actress Meryl Streep with the prestigious Cecil B. DeMille Award. Streep has won eight Golden Globes and been nominated 29 times, including this year for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for her work in Florence Foster Jenkins.
The annual event, now in its 74th year, will take place on Sunday, Jan. 8, 2017. It will be broadcast live on both coasts. NBC’s Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon has been tapped to host.
