Before the sun rose over Hollywood, the industry was up and buzzing to announce the first major awards ceremony nominations: the 76th Annual Golden Globes.
Terry Crews and Danai Gurira rattled off the names of stars in the running to secure that golden bag, via the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Let’s cut to the chase and keep it a buck: We were looking for some color.
And we found some! Here’s what stood out:
Fresh off her surprise win at the 2018 Primetime Emmys, Regina King will have a chance at the Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television. She’ll be in consideration for her 2018 Emmy award-winning role as Latrice Butler in Netflix’s crime drama, Seven Seconds.
But, that’s not all for King. She has the potential to be like, “two Globezzzzz” and double-fist some statuettes, because she’s also nominated for her buzzed-about performance in If Beale Street Could Talk for Best Actress in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture.
Speaking of Beale Street, its lead Stephan James is getting recognition in television, getting a Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Drama nomination for his role as Walter Cruz in Homecoming.
Thandie Newton nabbed the Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television for her 2018 Emmy-winning performance as Maeve Millay in Westworld.
If Beale Street Could Talk, then it would express its jubilation for securing the nomination for Best Screenplay – Motion Picture. No director nom for Barry Jenkins, though. Boo. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for the Oscars.
Atlanta buzz is still lit, as Donald Glover copped yet another Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy nom. He won the award in 2017.
There’s some black representation in animation too, with Spider-Man: Into the Spider Verse getting that Best Motion Picture – Animated nomination. Shoutout to Ralph Breaks The Internet, too, starring Taraji P. Henson.
John David Washington is following in the footsteps of his iconic father and has gotten a Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama nomination for his work in in the Spike Lee joint, BlackKkKlansman.
Black Panther still so lit or nah? Well, it got a nom for Best Original Song – Motion Picture for the Kendrick Lamar and SZA duet, “All The Stars.” The HFPA must’ve loved the songs because it’s also up for Best Original Score - Motion Picture (Ludwig Göransson). But, that’s not all.
In LGBTQ+ news, Pose got a huge nom for Best Television Series – Drama, and Billy Porter scored a nod for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Drama. And the category is ... ICONIC. HISTORIC.
As expected, the great Mahershala Ali got a Best Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture nom for his great performance in the not-so-great Green Book. Green Book is also in the running for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy.
Spike Lee might potentially win his first Golden Globe for directing, grabbing the Best Director – Motion Picture nomination for BlacKkKlansman.
And the blackest category has to be ... *drumroll*... Best Motion Picture - Drama, with a freshly seasoned three nominees: Black Panther, BlacKkKlansman and If Beale Street Could Talk.

Further, we originally mentioned a major announcement prior to the nominations telecast and HFPA President Meher Tatna has revealed it! There will be a television version of its film equivalent, the Cecil B. DeMille Award!
“Equivalent to its film accolade counterpart, the Cecil B. DeMille Award, this new annual award will honor TV’s biggest names and brightest talents,” said Tatna in a press release statement. “Honorees will be selected based on their outstanding accomplishments, as well as the impact and influence that their television career has had on the industry and audiences. The importance of this presentation is underscored by the fact that this is the first special achievement award of its kind since the DeMille Award was originally presented in 1952.”
The first-ever new TV award presentation will take place during the 2019 Golden Globes telecast. The Cecil B. DeMille Award recipient—also presented during the awards ceremony—will be announced in the coming weeks.
The 76th Annual Golden Globes will broadcast on Sunday, Jan. 9, 2019, at 8 p.m. ET /5 p.m. PT. Andy Samberg and Sandra Oh have been announced to host the ceremony.
