Golden Globe (TV) nominations: Succession roars into lead with five nods

After a turbulent year of change, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) have finally announced their nominations for the 79th Golden Globe Awards.

Despite the threat of a boycott and having the live ceremony dropped by NBC, the voting group unveiled their contenders for film and television with a little help from renowned rapper Snoop Dogg.

On the television side of things, HBO’s Succession takes pole position with five nominations. The third series of the hit drama contests the Best TV Series (Drama) award alongside The Morning Show and Pose, plus Netflix successes Lupin and Squid Game.

Leading men Brian Cox and Jeremy Strong go head-to-head in the Best Actor (Drama) category, with co-stars Kieran Culkin and Sarah Snook both acknowledged in Supporting.

Apple TV enjoyed a very good day, with the second series of The Morning Show and Ted Lasso both landing four nominations each. The pair received three acting nods, with Jennifer Aniston the high-profile name mentioned for The Morning Show.

For Ted Lasso, the football-based sitcom dominated the comedy line-ups with acting mentions for stars Jason Sudeikis, Brett Goldstein and Hannah Waddingham.

The Great, Hacks and Only Murders in the Building also scored well on the comedy front with three nods each, while the leading Best Limited Series contenders include Dopesick, Maid and Mare of Easttown.

The other popular names to land acting mentions include Billy Porter (Pose), Uzo Aduba (In Treatment), Elisabeth Moss (The Handmaid’s Tale), MJ Rodriguez (Pose), Steve Martin (Only Murders…), Martin Short (Only Murders…), Elle Fanning (The Great), Jean Smart (Hacks), Paul Bettany (Wandavision), Oscar Isaac (Scenes from a Marriage), Jessica Chastain (Scenes from a Marriage), Cynthia Erivo (Genius: Aretha), Elizabeth Olsen (Wandavision), Kate Winslet (Mare of Easttown) and Jennifer Coolidge (The White Lotus).
