Succession leads the TV nominations with nine in total, including best TV drama series.

Only Murders in the Building, The Diplomat, The Morning Show and The Crown are among other TV shows to be recognised.

South Korean film Past Lives is the most nominated non-English language film with a total of five nominations.

Barbie's nine nominations include Margot Robbie as best actress in a musical or comedy, Ryan Gosling for best supporting actor, and Greta Gerwig for best director.

The feminist satire about the all-conquering line of plastic dolls has received three nominations for best original song - namely Dance The Night by Dua Lipa, I'm Just Ken by Ryan Gosling and What Was I Made For? by Billie Eilish.

The Golden Globes are traditionally a more light-hearted event than many of the other ceremonies in film awards season.

Taking place in the first week of January, celebrity guests are usually in a good mood, fresh from their Christmas break.

In contrast, the Bafta Film Awards and the Oscars are much more formal events - and the prizes more prestigious.

But a win at the Golden Globes can add significant momentum to an awards campaign, with the recipients given the opportunity to deliver a rousing acceptance speech on TV at a time when Oscar voters are considering their own nominations.

There is a much higher chance of a Golden Globe nomination than an Oscar nod - the Globes split their film and lead acting categories into drama and musical or comedy, with six slots available in each instead of the Academy's five
