Then there’s WWII thriller Dunkirk which looks set to win Christopher Nolan his first Golden Globe for Best Director.
This year’s Golden Globes race is the closest in years with a whole range of film and TV titles in the running to emerge victorious at the ceremony scheduled to take place in Hollywood this Sunday (7 January).
Many will be rooting for Daniel Kaluuya and his 2017 horror satire Get Out which – confusingly to some – has been nominated in the Comedy/Musical category in a bid to improve its chances of winning.
Comedy-wise, Greta Gerwig’s directorial debut Lady Bird leads the pack with a total of four nominations including Best Actress for Saoirse Ronan who would do well to beat Margot Robbie’s impressive turn as figure skater Tonya Harding in the biographical I, Tonya.
