Irish representation at the 82nd Golden Globes is on the low side compared to last year's bumper harvest.
Andrew Scott and Colin Farrell have won nods for their leading roles in Ripley and The Penguin, going head to head for the title of best actor in a limited TV series.
Paul Mescal and Saoirse Ronan have however failed to be nominated for Gladiator II and The Outrun and Blitz.
Musical thriller Emilia Pérez and historical epic The Brutalist led the pack of films nominated, with ten and seven nominations respectively
Standouts in the list of this year’s nominations also included Wicked which saw Cynthia Erivo (best female actor in a motion picture, musical or comedy) being recognised for her role as Elphaba, while co-star Ariana Grande is in the running for best supporting actress.
Brady Corbet’s epic postwar drama The Brutalist, starring Adrien Brody as a Hungarian Holocaust survivor who becomes an architect in the US, followed with seven nominations, including for Corbet, Brody and his co-star Felicity Jones.
Hugh Grant is in contention for his role as a Mormon-baiter in horror film Heretic; Grant’s last major awards win was three decades ago, when the Globes named him best actor in a comedy or musical for Four Weddings and a Funeral.
The iconic Kate Winslet is also in contention for two awards this year, thanks to roles in Lee Miller biopic Lee and in small-screen political satire The Regime.
The winners will be chosen by 334 entertainment journalists from 85 countries and are due to be announced on January 5th at a ceremony broadcast live from Los Angeles on CBS and streamed on Paramount+.
