The Golden Globe nominations were announced Monday morning, and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association lavished love on the musical La La Land, the drama Moonlight and a number of new television shows, including - no surprise here - The People v. O.J. Simpson.

The big front-runner in the movie category is La La Land, which has seven nominations, including nods for its lead actors, Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, director Damien Chazelle, plus screenplay, score and song. It’s a fairly sure thing for the best motion picture race in the comedy/musical category.

Moonlight

On the drama side, Moonlight got plenty of love with six nominations, including best motion picture, Barry Jenkins for best director, best screenplay and score. The movie follows a poor Miami native over three distinct periods of his life, and the character is played by three different actors, which made it hard to compete in the lead actor category. But the movie picked up nominations for its supporting players, Naomie Harris and Mahershala Ali, the latter of whom will likely win.

Andrew Garfield in "Hacksaw Ridge"

The big surprise of the morning was Deadpool, the sleeper hit starring Ryan Reynolds as a snarky superhero. The movie picked up one nomination for Reynolds and another for best motion picture comedy. Martin Scorsese’s latest didn’t fare so well. Silence was completely shut out, although its star, Andrew Garfield, picked up a nomination for another movie, Mel Gibson’s Hacksaw Ridge.

Westworld

In the television categories, the Golden Globes generally liven things up with all the new fall shows that the Emmys weren’t able to nominate. Case in point: The best drama category is almost completely new shows, including HBO’s complicated futuristic thriller Westworld; Netflix’s ‘80s throwback Stranger Things and British historical epic The Crown; and NBC’s tearjerker family drama This is Us, which all scored acting nods as well. Another big newcomer includes HBO’s The Night Of, the eight-episode legal mystery that earned rave reviews.

Atlanta

Over in comedy, FX’s buzzworthy new dramedy Atlanta also landed a nomination, along with a best actor nod for Donald Glover. And as expected, FX’s acclaimed The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story miniseries swept the most nominations of any show with five, including acting nods for Sterling K. Brown, Courtney B. Vance, Sarah Paulson and John Travolta.

The Golden Globes air on January 8.
