Australian actors Guy Pearce, Nicole Kidman, Cate Blanchett and Naomi Watts have been nominated for Golden Globe awards.
Kidman has been nominated for best performance by a female actor in a motion picture, drama, for Babygirl. Pearce is nominated for best supporting male actor in a film for The Brutalist.
Blanchett is nominated for best performance by a female actor in a limited series for Disclaimer, up against Naomi Watts for Feud: Capote vs. The Swans
Jacques Audiard’s audacious musical Emilia Pérez, about a Mexican drug lord who undergoes gender-affirming surgery to become a woman, led the nominations announced overnight with 10 nods, over other contenders including musical smash Wicked, the papal thriller Conclave and the postwar epic The Brutalist.
The embattled Globes, which are no longer presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, are still in comeback mode after years of scandal and organisational upheaval.
Working in the Globes favour this year is an especially star-studded field of nominees, with Zendaya, Timothée Chalamet, Angelina Jolie, Daniel Craig, Denzel Washington, Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Glen Powell and Selena Gomez all up for awards.
