'Shape Of Water,' 'Big Little Lies' Snag Most Golden Globe Nominations

The nominees for the 2018 Golden Globe Awards were announced early Monday morning in Beverly Hills, Calif.

Guillermo del Toro's fantasy The Shape of Water — a dreamy love story between a mute janitor in a government lab and an amphibian man in tank — snagged the most motion picture nominations, with seven. Upcoming Pentagon Papers drama The Post and the darkly comic Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri got six apiece.

In television, the domestic melodrama Big Little Lies led the pack with six nominations, followed by Feud: Bette and Joan, Fargo, The Handmaid's Tale and This Is Us. HBO, Netflix and FX productions got the most TV nominations.

Both Big Little Lies and The Handmaid's Tale took home multiple awards at September's Emmy Awards.

The big winner at the 2017 Globes was La La Land, which took seven, including best motion picture, comedy or musical. But the night's final award went to Barry Jenkins' Moonlight, which won for best motion picture, drama.

Last year's ceremony was notable for other reasons, including a marked increase in diversity among the nominees and Meryl Streep's calling out President Trump for mocking a disabled reporter.

This year's awards — the 75th annual — will be hosted by Seth Myers and broadcast live on NBC on January 7.
