The television world is set to come together for next year’s Golden Globe ceremony after the nominations for specific categories were announced today.

In the drama fields, USA Network’s Mr. Robot and the Starz fantasy Outlander lead the way with three nods, including a place on the Best Television Series (Drama) shortlist.

Both programmes are joined in the prestigious line-up by Fox’s Empire and Netflix’s Narcos, with the fifth slot held once again by HBO’s Game of Thrones.

Despite another strong series outing, the fantasy epic failed to land a nod anywhere else.

Additionally, the final series of ITV’s Downton Abbey and AMC’s Mad Men were both snubbed from the main category.

For Mr. Robot and Outlander, both programmes also scored lead acting nods for main cast members Rami Malek and Caitríona Balfe, while co-stars Christian Slater and Tobias Menzies go head-to-head in the Supporting Actor category.

After winning the Emmy for his farewell turn as Don Draper, Jon Hamm earns his final Best Actor (Drama) nom for Mad Men, with new contenders Wagner Moura (Narcos) and Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul) among his rival nominees.

Meanwhile, Viola Davis is looking to repeat her Emmy-winning triumph this summer after landing a Best Actress (Drama) mention for How to Get Away with Murder. 2014 category winner Robin Wright (House of Cards) also contests the line-up, alongside new nominees Eva Green (Penny Dreadful) and Taraji P. Henson (Empire).

In the comedy fields, Prime Video’s Transparent is targetting a repeat of last year’s Globe successes after earning three nominations, including Best Television Series (Comedy or Musical) as well as acting mentions for reigning Best Actor winner Jeffrey Tambor and co-star Judith Light.

Fellow Prime Video series Mozart in the Jungle is also included in the Best Television Series (Comedy/Musical) shortlist alongside Hulu’s Casual, Netflix’s Orange is the New Black, and HBO duo Silicon Valley and Veep.

Tambor competes against a number of new acting contenders in the Best Actor (Comedy/Musical) category including Aziz Ansari (Master of None), Gael García Bernal (Mozart in the Jungle) and Patrick Stewart (Blunt Talk) while reigning Best Actress (Comedy/Musical) winner Gina Rodriguez (Jane the Virgin) is up against Rachel Bloom (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) and veteran stars Jamie Lee Curtis (Scream Queens), Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Veep) and Lily Tomlin (Grace and Frankie).

Finally, the second series of FX’s Fargo and BBC’s Wolf Hall are among the high-profile programmes looking to make a dent in the limited series field after landing a hat-trick of nominations.

Both shows are in contention for the newly-renamed Best Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television accolade, which is completed by ABC’s American Crime, FX’s American Horror Story: Hotel and the Starz effort Flesh and Bone.

In the case of Fargo, chief cast members Kirsten Dunst and Patrick Wilson are up for Best Actress (Limited Series/TV Movie) and Best Actor (Limited Series/TV Movie) respectively, with the latter competing against Oscar Isaac (Show Me a Hero) and British trio Idris Elba (Luther), David Oyelowo (Nightingale) and Mark Rylance (Wolf Hall).

Meanwhile, Dunst finds herself up against newcomer Sarah Hay (Flesh and Bone) and musicians-turned-actors Lady Gaga (American Horror Story: Hotel) and Queen Latifah (Bessie) in the Best Actress (Limited Series/TV Movie) line-up.

The rest of the notable acting nominees include Uzo Aduba (Orange is the New Black), Alan Cumming (The Good Wife), Felicity Huffman (American Crime), Regina King (American Crime), Rob Lowe (The Grinder), Ben Mendelsohn (Bloodline), Maura Tierney (The Affair) and last year’s Supporting Actress winner Joanne Froggatt (Downton Abbey).

Once again, there were a number of key snubs from this year’s nominees, with The Americans, Homeland, Modern Family and the final series of Parks and Recreation among the major programmes ignored in the main categories.

Additionally, the star performances that were overlooked included Claire Danes (Homeland), Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones), Ellie Kemper (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black), Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation), Kevin Spacey (House of Cards), and Ruth Wilson (The Affair).

The 73rd Golden Globe Awards will take place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills on 10 January 2016 with controversial British comedian Ricky Gervais back as host for a fourth time.
