‘Carol,’ Netflix Lead Golden Globes Nominations - Nominations for the 73rd annual Golden Globes were announced Thursday morning with “Carol” leading the way with 5 nominations while Netflix had a network high 8 mentions.

“Carol,” the lesbian drama from Todd Haynes, saw nods for both of its stars, Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara, while Haynes was also nominated for helming and best pic.

“The Revenant,” “Steve Jobs” and “The Big Short” were close behind with four nods.

Multiple TV shows landed three mentions, including “American Crime,” “Fargo,” “Mr. Robot,” “Outlander” and “Transparent.”

Leonardo DiCaprio and Michael Fassbender were nominated for Best Actor in a drama opposite Bryan Cranston (“Trumbo”), Will Smith for “Concussion” and Eddie Redmayne in “The Danish Girl.”

20th Century Fox, having scored the most studio nominations with 12, flew high with “The Martian” and Alejandro Inarritu’s “The Revenant.” Matt Damon, nominated for best actor in “The Martian,” was among three mentions for the box office smash. It also received a nod for helmer Ridley Scott and was nominated for Best Comedy or Musical feature.

Lady Gaga, receiving her first nod, was nominated for FX’s “American Horror Story: Hotel,” which was also nominated for best TV miniseries.

Amazon, after scoring its first Golden Globe at last year’s ceremony, had two different series competing in the Best TV Comedy Series or Musical category including “Mozart in the Jungle” and “Transparent.” Hulu’s “Casual,” Netflix’s “Orange is the New Black” and HBO’s “Veep” were also nommed.

The CW also scored early wins in the Best Actress in a Comedy series category, with Gina Rodriguez (“Jane the Virgin”) and Rachel Bloom (“Crazy Ex Girlfriend”) landing nods. Also recognized were Julia Louis-Dreyfus for “Veep,” Jamie Lee Curtis (“Scream Queens”) and Lily Tomlin for Netflix’s “Grace and Frankie.”

Best animated film honorees include “Anomolisa,” “The Good Dinosaur,” “Inside Out,” “The Peanuts Movie,” and “Shaun the Sheep Movie.”

Awards watchers will look to Thursday’s nominations to help crystalize an Oscar race that is viewed as wide open. Films such as “Spotlight” and “Carol” have done well with critics groups, but the Screen Actors Guild stunned prognosticators by ignoring major contenders such as Will Smith (“Concussion”), Jennifer Lawrence (“Joy”), and Michael Keaton (“Spotlight”) in favor of performers such as Sarah Silverman (“I Smile Back”) and Helen Mirren (“Woman in Gold”) who were not expected to factor into the major awards.

The Globes have deviated from the Oscars in their choices for Best Picture, handing out the top prizes to such films as “The Social Network” and “Avatar,” which went on to lose the Academy Award. Last year, the Globes split the difference between front-runners. “Birdman,” which won the Best Picture Oscar, won the Globes’ Best Picture – Comedy prize, while “Boyhood” captured the Best Picture – Drama statue.

The Globes are voted on by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, a group of roughly 90 journalists and photographers. The organization has been criticized at times for its idiosyncratic choices, nominating critically savaged films such as “Burlesque” and “The Tourist.”

Ricky Gervais, who drew strong ratings by skewering Hollywood’s A-list in three previous hosting gigs, will return as emcee after a three year absence in which Amy Poehler and Tina Fey hosted. The Globes telecast will take place on Jan. 10. Denzel Washington, a Golden Globe winner for “The Hurricane” and “Glory,” will received the Cecil B. Demille Award for career achievement.
