Long seen as the most unserious stop on Hollywood’s awards circuit, the Golden Globes — nominations for which will be announced on Monday — may take on added weight this time around, steering an unmoored Oscar race onto some kind of course. Golden Globes voters nominated an unusually wide mix of movies on Monday, pulling smaller dramas like “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” deeper into the Oscar race, throwing support to Ridley Scott’s last-minute effort to erase Kevin Spacey from “All the Money in the World” and embracing diversity among the nominees.
Or not. The largest number of nominations — seven — went to Guillermo del Toro’s fantasy “The Shape of Water,” including ones for best drama, director, actress (Sally Hawkins), supporting actress (Octavia Spencer) and supporting actor (Richard Jenkins). Close behind with six apiece were “The Post,” a Watergate-era drama about the struggles of Katharine Graham to lead The Washington Post, and “Three Billboards,” about a mother (Frances McDormand, a nominee for best actress) who pushes local authorities to investigate her daughter’s murder.
The Globes are weird. They are handed out by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, a group of mostly freelance journalists, only 89 of whom vote. Studios see members as easy to manipulate. (A lawsuit in 2011 alleged payola and kickbacks. The organization settled out of court.) And top prizes are split into dramatic and comedic categories, often in confounding ways. The other nominees for best drama were “Dunkirk,” Christopher Nolan’s World War II epic, and the romance “Call Me by Your Name.”
But timing is everything in show business, and Academy Award voters (some 8,400) cannot help but pay attention to the Globes, which are bestowed in the middle of the Oscar nomination process. The 75th Globes ceremony will be broadcast live on NBC on Jan. 7. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will announce Oscar nominations on Jan. 23. Long seen as the most unserious stop on Hollywood’s awards circuit, the Golden Globes are handed out by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, a group of mostly freelance journalists, only 89 of whom vote. Studios see members as easy to manipulate, a reputation the group contends is long outdated. (A lawsuit in 2011 alleged payola and kickbacks. The organization settled out of court.)
Depending on their choices, Globe voters could clarify standings in the Oscar race. That contest — the first in nearly 30 years without Harvey Weinstein pulling strings — has so far been a free-for-all, with the World War II epic “Dunkirk,” the gay romance “Call Me By Your Name,” the satirical horror film “Get Out,” the coming-of-age movie “Lady Bird” and others jockeying for position. And top prizes are split into dramatic and comedic categories, often in confounding ways. This time around, the satirical horror film “Get Out” was nominated in the best musical or comedy category. (Its backers at Universal submitted it there, hoping to improve its chances, creating an internet brush fire last month.) “Get Out” will compete against the P.T. Barnum musical “The Greatest Showman”; the figure-skating dark comedy “I, Tonya”; the movie-about-a-movie “The Disaster Artist”; and Greta Gerwig’s coming-of-age comedic drama “Lady Bird.”
Below are four things to consider before the Globes nominations are unveiled starting at 8:15 a.m. Eastern. But timing is everything in show business, and Academy Award voters (some 8,400) cannot help but pay attention to the Globes, which are bestowed in the middle of the Oscar nomination process. The 75th Globes ceremony will be hosted by Seth Meyers and broadcast live on NBC on Jan. 7. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will announce Oscar nominations on Jan. 23.
This Watergate-era drama about the famed publisher of The Washington Post, Katharine Graham, has been trying to hang back: It won’t arrive in wide release until Jan. 12. But early buzz has been strong — the National Board of Review named it the best film of the year — and Globe voters could turn “The Post” white hot. Nominations are expected in the big four categories: best drama, director (Steven Spielberg), actress (Meryl Streep) and actor (Tom Hanks). No other movie is expected to pull that off. The Oscar race — the first in nearly 30 years without Harvey Weinstein pulling strings — has so far been a free-for-all, with “The Post,” “Dunkirk,” “Call Me by Your Name,” “Lady Bird” and others jockeying for position.
Because the press association gives a prize for best drama and best comedy, Hollywood often looks to directing nominees for clues about what film truly rose to the top at the Globes. Joining Mr. Spielberg will likely be Christopher Nolan, the force behind “Dunkirk.” Two other safe bets include Luca Guadagnino (“Call Me by Your Name”) and Guillermo Del Toro, who directed “The Shape of Water,” a fantasy focused on a mute janitor and her romance with a mysterious merman. Among television categories, HBO’s “Big Little Lies” was the one to beat, taking six nominations, including for best limited series and all four of its actresses — Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman in the lead category and Laura Dern and Shailene Woodley in supporting.
That leaves one slot. The strongest contenders for it are thought to be Jordan Peele (“Get Out”), Greta Gerwig (“Lady Bird”) and Joe Wright, whose “Darkest Hour” examines Winston Churchill’s early days in World War II. Best drama candidates were the usual suspects: “Game of Thrones,” “The Handmaid’s Tale,” “Stranger Things,” “This Is Us” and “The Crown.” Best comedy nominations went to “Will & Grace,” “black-ish,” “Master of None” — all expected — and two new series: “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” on Amazon (the latest from the “Gilmore Girls” creator Amy Sherman-Palladino) and “SMILF,” a Showtime series that stars Frankie Shaw as a working-class single mother in Boston.
Who will be left out? The nominations were announced by Alfre Woodard, Garrett Hedlund, Kristen Bell and Sharon Stone in a pre-dawn presentation at the Beverly Hilton Hotel timed for the East Coast-based morning news shows. The press association handed out Champagne before 5 a.m. Pacific Time to toast the 75th anniversary of the awards.
If you trust the handicappers at Gold Derby, an entertainment honors site, this year’s Academy Award nominations could be #OscarsSoWhite all over again. Currently, the prognosticators indicate there’s a possibility that only the supporting actress category would feature an actor of color: Mary J. Blige, for her sagacious matriarch in “Mudbound,” a Netflix drama about racial tension in rural Mississippi in the 1940s. This Watergate-era drama about the famed publisher of The Washington Post, Katharine Graham, has been trying to hang back: It won’t arrive in wide release until Jan. 12. But early buzz has been strong — the National Board of Review named it the best film of the year — and Globe voters could turn “The Post” white hot. It received nominations in the big four categories: best drama, director (Steven Spielberg), actress (Meryl Streep) and actor (Tom Hanks).
The Globes could prod other worthy candidates forward, including Tiffany Haddish, the breakout star of “Girls Trip”; “The Big Sick” lead actor Kumail Nanjiani; Daniel Kaluuya, who helped propel “Get Out” to box office heights; and Hong Chau, a scene stealer in “Downsizing.” Octavia Spencer, a former Oscar winner who is featured in “The Shape of Water,” could also be in the mix. “The Post” also picked up nominations for its screenplay, written by Liz Hannah and Josh Singer, and the score by John Williams.

Mr. Plummer received a nomination for best supporting actor.
Martin McDonagh, who wrote and directed “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,” rounded out the category.

Globe voters like to make agenda-setting choices with their television awards. They paid early attention to “Transparent,” “Mr. Robot” and “The Crown,” helping to catapult those series into the cultural firmament. But Emmys voters may have beaten them to the punch this year.Globe voters like to make agenda-setting choices with their television awards.

At the most recent Emmy Awards, multiple trophies went to rookie shows like “The Handmaid’s Tale” and “Big Little Lies,” both of which are also likely to receive numerous Globe nominations. The newest series that Globe voters could rally behind on Monday are actually reboots of old ones: NBC’s “Will & Grace” or perhaps Showtime’s little-watched “Twin Peaks.” At the most recent Emmy Awards, multiple trophies went to rookie shows like “The Handmaid’s Tale” and “Big Little Lies,” both of which are also received numerous Globe nominations. But Globe voters also bestowed multiple nominations on “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.”
The meandering HBO drama “The Deuce” and Netflix’s period serial killer series “Mindhunter” could also receive nominations.
