HBO, Netflix top list of TV Golden Globe nominees

HBO and Netflix Inc. led the way with the most nominations on the small screen side of the 2018 Golden Globe nominations.

Cable's premium network leader set the pace with a dozen nominations, led by "Big Little Lies," which garnered a half-dozen nods. Streaming giant Netflix scored nine nominations, including two apiece for "The Crown," "Master of None" and "Stranger Things," the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, or HFPA, announced Dec. 11.

21st Century Fox Inc.'s FX Network (US) came in third with eight nominations, four for "Feud: Bette and Joan" and three for the latest iteration of "Fargo." NBC (US), buoyed by three for multi-generational family saga "This Is Us," and Showtime, which tallied a pair for "SMILF," were next with five apiece.

Claire Foy, who portrays a young Queen Elizabeth II in "The Crown," will look to don the HFPA's tiara again as best actress in a TV drama. Caitriona Balfe, who was nominated last year, is back in the hunt for her role as Claire Randall in Starz's "Outlander," along with Elisabeth Moss (Hulu's "The Handmaid's Tale"), Maggie Gyllenhaal (HBO's "The Deuce") and Katherine Langford (Netflix's "13 Reasons Why").

Bob Odenkirk (AMC (US)'s "Better Call Saul") and Liev Schreiber (Showtime's "Ray Donovan") earned nods again and are joined by Sterling K. Brown ("This Is Us"), Jason Bateman (Netflix's "Ozark") and Freddie Highmore from ABC (US)'s hit "The Good Doctor" in vying for best actor in a drama series honors.

On the comedy/musical front, ABC's "Black-ish," which was nominated last year, is competing against a quartet of new challengers: "SMILF," NBC's reboot of "Will & Grace," "Master of None" and Amazon.com Inc.'s "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel."

Issa Rae hopes the second time will be the charm as best actress in a TV series, musical or comedy, for her work as the lead in HBO's "Insecure." Pamela Adlon (FX's "Better Things"), Frankie Shaw ("SMILF"), Rachel Brosnahan ("The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel") and Alison Brie (Netflix's "GLOW") are the other contenders.

The race for best actor in TV comedy will include Eric McCormack ("Will & Grace"), Kevin Bacon (Amazon's "I Love Dick"), William H. Macy (Showtime's "Shameless"), Aziz Ansari ("Master of None") and Anthony Anderson, who also received a nod last year for his lead role in "Black-ish."

The best TV limited series or motion picture made for television is topped by three of the most-nominated series: HBO's "Big Little Lies," as well as FX's "Fargo" and "Feud: Bette and Joan." SundanceTV (US)'s "Top of the Lake: China Girl" and USA (US)'s "The Sinner," basic-cable's most-watched new program this year, round out the list here.

Those limited series yielded the high-profile, best actress nominees in that category: Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon in "Big Little Lies"; Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon as Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, respectively, in "Feud"; and Jessica Biel as the psychologically damaged killer in "The Sinner."

As for theatricals, Fox Searchlight and 20th Century Fox led the way with 15 and 12 nominations, respectively, including three best motion picture drama nominees: "The Post" (20th), and "The Shape of Water" and "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" (both Fox Searchlight). They are joined by Warner Bros.' "Dunkirk" and Sony Pictures Classics' "Call Me By Your Name."

20th Century Fox also has a best motion picture, musical or comedy entry with "The Greatest Showman." A24 Films LLC's has a pair of nominees with "The Disaster Artist" and "Lady Bird," while NEON's "I, Tonya" and Universal Pictures' "Get Out" are also in the running for a Globe.

The 75th anniversary of the Golden Globes will air live Jan. 7 from the Beverly Hilton on NBC. Seth Meyers will serve as the host. The complete list of nominees can be found here.
