Donald Glover, Nicole Kidman, Joel Edgerton & More Scoop Up Golden Globe Noms

With awards season now in full swing, the nominations for the 2017 Golden Globe Awards have dropped today and Mel Gibson's locally-shot Hacksaw Ridge has again made an impact, picking up a string of nods.

After scoring nine gongs at last week's AACTA Awards, the war film has been shortlisted for three Golden Globes, including Best Motion Picture — Drama and Best Director — Motion Picture. 

Meanwhile, fellow Aussie Nicole Kidman has been nominated in the Best Performance By An Actress In A Supporting Role In Any Motion Picture category for her work in Lion, while the film is also up for Best Motion Picture — Drama.

Sydney-raised actor Joel Edgerton has also slipped in to grab a nomination for Best Performance By An Actor In A Motion Picture - Drama for his role in Loving.

US actor and rapper Donald Glover (aka Childish Gambino) is heading to Australia later this month for Falls Festival and he'll no doubt be in good spirits after he was today nominated for Best Performance By An Actor In A Television Series - Musical Or Comedy for his new show, Atlanta.

Glover will have his work cut out for him however, as he'll be going up against Hollywood heavyweight Nick Nolte (Graves) and previous Golden Globe winner, Jeffrey Tambor (Transparent).

The FX-screened series has also been nominated in the Best Television Series - Musical Or Comedy category.

Elsewhere, US actress-turned-pop-star Hailee Steinfeld picked up a nomination for Best Performance By An Actress In A Motion Picture - Musical Or Comedy for The Edge Of Seventeen.

Upcoming musical La La Land, starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, looks to be this year's favourite, picking up seven nods including Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy, while Sing Street has also been selected in the category.

Veteran '80s composer Gary Clark put together most of the film's original music, while works from names such as The Cure, Motorhead and Duran Duran are also featured. 

The 74th Golden Globe Awards are to be held in California on 8 January.
