Fairy tale romance The Shape of Water led the Golden Globe nominations with seven on Monday as Hollywood launched an awards season expected to be overshadowed by the sexual misconduct scandal engulfing the movie industry. Guillermo del Toro’s acclaimed 1960s-set fantasy picked up nominations in several top categories, including best motion picture drama and best actress for Sally Hawkins.

The Post, Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri followed with six nods and coming-of-age film Lady Bird got four nominations. The Post, a defense of the free press widely seen as a rebuke to President Donald Trump, is an early Oscars favorite. Martin McDonagh’s Three Billboards, starring Frances McDormand as a mother seeking to avenge the rape and murder of her daughter, is also widely fancied since taking the influential audience award at the Toronto International Film Festival in September this year. Coco, a colorful take on Mexico’s Day of the Dead, was nominated and should be the comfortable frontrunner for best animated film. On the downside, Dunkirk — an early Oscars favorite much loved for its masterful cinematography, if not its sparkling dialogue — earned just three nominations. The announcements will give the nominees a welcome boost going into the race for March’s Oscars, with the influential Screen Actors Guild nominations to come later this week.
