Golden Globes to announce nominations as Oscars race heats up

Wicked, Conclave, Anora and The Brutalist are a few of the films expected to pick up Golden Globe nominations, which are announced on Monday.

It is the first major film ceremony to announce its shortlists, and will offer some clues as to how the awards race is shaping up.
In a year with several strong contenders, there is currently no consensus on what will ultimately win best picture at the Oscars on 2 March.
The Golden Globe nominations will be announced by US actors Mindy Kaling and Morris Chestnut on Monday from around 13:15 GMT.

How to watch this year’s awards-tipped films
Although the Globes are the first big milestone of awards season, smaller precursor events such as the Gotham Awards, the British Independent Film Awards, and various critics’ ceremonies have been taking place in recent weeks.
Unlike the Baftas and Oscars, the Globes split their awards by genre, with films competing either in the drama or comedy and musical categories. They also have six slots available in each acting category.
That means the Globes are able to nominate 36 acting performances in total, compared with the 20 at the Oscars, allowing them to spread the wealth and more easily avoid the perception of snubs.
This year’s Golden Globes will take place in Los Angeles on 5 January.
