The Golden Globes has announced this year's nominations, The Shape of Water leading with seven nominations, including best film (drama) and best director for Guillermo del Toro.

Steven Spielberg’s The Post and Martin McDonagh’s Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri closely follow the underwater romance with six nomination apiece.

Leading the comedy category comes Greta Gerwig's directorial debut, Lady Bird, which scooped four nominations, while Get Out — which was expected to have further crossover appeal — managed two.

One of the biggest surprises would be All The Money In The World gaining three nominations, including Christopher Plummer. The actor — nominated for supporting role — replaced Kevin Spacey as Jean Paul Getty on the 9 November, just over a month ago. Ridley Scott, who has managed to edit Plummer’s performance into the film, has been nominated for best director.

Meanwhile, the TV categories were dominated mainly by Big Little Lies, which accumulated six nominations, including best limited series.

Perhaps the biggest shock would be Twin Peaks: The Return — David Lynch’s highly acclaimed series — only managing one nomination for leading actor Kyle MacLachlan.

The best drama TV series proved a particularly boring affair, the nominations being exactly the same as last year but with Westworld replaced by The Handmaid’s Tale.

Hosted by Seth Meyers, the 75th Golden Globes ceremony will take place on 7 January.
