HFPA president Helen Hoehne and rapper Snoop Dogg announced the nods. The ceremony will be held on January 9.
Los Angeles: Securing seven nods each, Kenneth Branagh's black-and-white film 'Belfast' and Jane Campion's 'The Power of the Dog' emerged the top nominees in the motion picture group of the 79th Golden Globe Awards nominations announced here on Monday. In the TV category, satirical black comedy 'Succession' ruled the roost with five nods.
The announcement took place virtually amid the controversy that has kept the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) on its toes after it came under public scrutiny over its racially homogenous makeup, as well as alleged corruption in a bombshell Los Angeles Times investigation earlier this year.
The HFPA tried to be more inclusive through nods to women and people of colour in directing and acting categories. Path-breaking non-English international TV shows like "Squid Game" (South Korean) and "Lupin" (French) also got their due with three and two nominations, respectively.
