Seth Meyers will host the 2018 ceremony from the International Ballroom of the Beverly Hilton on Jan. 7. The 75th Golden Globes will air live at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET on NBC. Aside fromThe Shape of Water, the other nominees for Best Motion Picture - Drama are Sony Pictures Classics’Call Me By Your Name, Warner Bros.‘Dunkirk, 20th Century Fox’sThe Postand Fox Searchlight’sThree Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. For Best Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical, the nominees are A24’sThe Disaster Artist, Universal Pictures’Get Out, 20th Century Fox’sThe Greatest Showman, Neon’sI, Tonyaand A24’sLady Bird. The decision forGet Out to compete as a comedywas slightly controversial, but it seems to have paid off.
It also seems that one of this year’s most controversial moves paid off, with three nominations for Sony’sAll the Money in the World. After a spate of sexual misconduct allegations surfaced against star Kevin Spacey, who plays oil billionaire J. Paul Getty, director Ridley Scott decided toreplace Kevin Spacey with Christopher Plummer. Plummer was reportedly the director’s original choice for the role, but the studio wanted a bigger star in the role, with 10 days of reshoots planned with Christopher Plummer shooting scenes with Mark Wahlberg and Michelle Williams. The director didn’t want Kevin Spacey’s scandal to affect the movie’s chances this awards season, and the bold gamble paid off, with Christopher Plummer getting a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actor, while Michelle Williams landed a Best Actress nod and Ridley Scott was nominated in the Best Director category.
On the TV side, the five shows nominated for Best Television Series - Drama are Netflix’sThe Crown,HBO’s Game of Thrones, Hulu’sThe Handmaid’s Tale, which became the first streaming program to win the Emmy for Best Drama Series, Netflix’sStranger Thingsand NBC’sThis Is Us.

The Handmaid’s Tale’s historic Emmy win was also made possible becauseGame of Throneswasn’t eligible for the Emmy’s this year, since they debuted in mid-July, instead of their usual April date. TheGolden Globesare often seen as a precursor to the Academy Awards, with this year’s Oscar nominations slated to be announced on Tuesday, July 14, 2025, a few weeks after theGolden Globesare handed out on Sunday, January 7.
