Damien Chazelle's Los Angeles musical "La La Land" sang and danced its way to a leading seven Golden Globes nominations, with Barry Jenkins' celebrated coming-of-age tale "Moonlight" close on its heels with six nods.

"La La Land" earned nominations for its lead actors, Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, as well best picture, comedy or musical. The film also scored nominations for directing, screenplay, score and original song in the nominations announced Monday in Los Angeles by the Hollywood Foreign Press Assocation.

"Moonlight" led the field in the dramatic categories, including best picture. It earned nods for Jenkins' directing and script, supporting actor favorite Mahershala Ali and supporting actress Naomie Harris.

The other nominees for best picture, drama, were "Manchester by the Sea," "Lion," ''Hell or High Water" and Mel Gibson's "Hacksaw Ridge."

The Weinstein Co.'s "Lion," the story of an Indian boy separated from his family, had an especially good morning. The film also earned nods for Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman.

Kenneth Lonergan's tender portrait of grief, "Manchester by the Sea," landed five nominations, including best actor in a drama for Casey Affleck. Producer Matt Damon, in a statement, thanked the Hollywood Foreign Press "for championing a little movie like ours."

Meryl Streep landed her 30th nomination for best actress in a musical or comedy for "Florence Foster Jenkins." Streep, an eight-time winner, will also be the recipient of the Cecil B. DeMille Award for career achievement.

Going into the Golden Globe nominations, no film had more momentum than Jenkin's celebrated "Moonlight," a staple of top 10-lists and the best film choice of the Los Angeles Film Critics Association and the Gotham Independent Film Awards.

But "La La Land," the top film choice of the New York Film Critics Circle is viewed as the Oscar favorite, and, as expected, it dominated.

The nominations also verified that this year's awards season won't be nearly so white as last year's. Nominations heaped on "Moonlight," ''Fences," ''Loving" and "Hidden Figures" confirmed what has already solidified as a notably more diverse field.

The Jan. 8 Golden Globes will be hosted by Jimmy Fallon and broadcast by NBC from the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills. </s> The candy-colored love letter to musicals “La La Land” has landed a record-tying 14 Academy Awards nominations, matching it with “Titanic” and “All About Eve” for most nominations ever.

“La La Land” has earned nods for best picture, its stars Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, its songs and its 32-year-old writer-director, Damien Chazelle.

The other nominees for best picture are: “Moonlight,” “Arrival,” “Manchester by the Sea,” “Hell or High Water,” “Lion,” “Fences,” “Hidden Figures” and “Hacksaw Ridge.”

Following two years of “OscarsSoWhite” furor, the Academy of Motion Pictures fielded a notably more diverse field of nominees, led by Barry Jenkins’ luminous coming-of-age portrait “Moonlight,” Denzel Washington’s “Fences” and Theodore Melfi’s “Hidden Figures.” </s> With “La La Land” earning the statue for Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy at the 2017 Golden Globe Awards, the film cemented its place in history. The Los Angeles–based movie musical about creative dreamers won in every category in which it was nominated on Sunday night, totaling seven awards in all — which also meant fellow critically acclaimed films including “Manchester by the Sea,” “Loving,” “Fences,” “Lion” and “Moonlight,” among others, went underrepresented in the evening’s wins. This achievement for “La La Land” breaks the record for most Golden Globes won by a film. Previously, the record for most Globes won by a film was a five-way tie between “Doctor Zhivago” (1965), “Love Story” (1970), “The Godfather” (1972), “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” (1975), and “A Star is Born” (1976). Each film had won five awards. Deadline noted that “Cuckoo’s Nest” also marked the last time, before “La La Land,” where a film won in each category it was up for. Among the honors given to “La La Land” were Best Director, Motion Picture and Best Screenplay for director Damien Chazelle. Film leads Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone nabbed top honors for acting in the Musical or Comedy categories. </s> With “La La Land” earning the statue for Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy at the 2017 Golden Globe Awards, the film cemented its place in history.

Barry Jenkins' lyrical three-part coming-of-age tale, Moonlight, trailed closely with six nods, including best drama.

Those two films have taken just about everyone's top honor so far in Hollywood's awards season, with Kenneth Lonergan's tender, grief-filled New England drama Manchester by the Sea -- which scored five nominations Monday, including best drama and best actor for Casey Affleck -- consistently in the running, too.

But La La Land, with its showstopping musical numbers and love affair with old Hollywood musicals, remains widely seen as the Academy Awards favorite after setting records in its limited release over the weekend and winning a leading eight Critics' Choice Awards on Sunday.

"What a way to start a Monday," said star Emma Stone.

Stone and her co-star, Ryan Gosling, were nominated for their lead performances, as was the film's directing, screenplay, score and original song. Moonlight, spread across three chapters of a young man's life in Miami, earned nods for Jenkins' directing and script, supporting actor Mahershala Ali and supporting actress Naomie Harris.

Those choices did nothing to dislodge the season's front-runners, nor did it alter another prediction gaining steam: this year's awards season won't be nearly as white as last year's.

Along with Moonlight, nominations were heaped on Denzel Washington's August Wilson adaptation Fences (including acting nods for Washington and Viola Davis), Arkansas native Jeff Nichols' interracial marriage drama Loving (leads Ruth Negga and Joel Edgerton were each nominated), and the NASA drama about black mathematicians Hidden Figures (for which Octavia Spencer was nominated).

Those nominations add weight to predictions of a more diverse Oscar field. The same was true on the television side, where a rush of newcomers joined mainstays like Transparent and Veep.

The People v. O.J. Simpson continued its awards success with five nominations, including best limited series and nods for stars Sarah Paulson, Courtney B. Vance, Sterling K. Brown and John Travolta. But the TV categories were also populated by more recent acclaimed shows not eligible for September's Emmy Awards, including The Night Of, Westworld, Atlanta, This Is Us and Insecure. HBO led the networks with 14 nominations.

Whether the typically carefree Globes, to be hosted by Jimmy Fallon, will be as bubbly as usual will be a question going into the ceremony. The Jan. 8 show comes less than two weeks before President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration, and some were already conflating the two.

"Huge thanks to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and the Russian hackers that made our nominations possible," joked Veep star Julia Louis-Dreyfus on her eighth Globe nod.

The Weinstein Co.'s Lion, about an Indian boy separated from his family, had an especially good morning. The film earned four nods, including best drama and acting nominations for Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman.

Mel Gibson, long a divisive figure in Hollywood, also had reason to celebrate. His World War II drama Hacksaw Ridge landed three nominations, including best drama, best director and best actor in a drama for Andrew Garfield.

David Mackenzie's West Texas heist thriller Hell or High Water, with Jeff Bridges, earned three nods including best drama.

For best actress in drama, Elle star Isabelle Huppert was nominated along with Amy Adams (Arrival), Natalie Portman (Jackie), Jessica Chastain (Miss Sloane) and Negga.

Along with La La Land, the best picture, comedy or musical nominees were the Annette Bening-led family drama 20th Century Women, the 1980s Dublin music-laced coming-of-age comedy Sing Street and Florence Foster Jenkins.

For the latter, Meryl Streep landed her 30th nomination. The film, about a Manhattan heiress' quixotic dreams of singing opera, scored four nominations, including nods for Hugh Grant and Simon Helberg. Streep, an eight-time winner, will also be the recipient of the Cecil B. DeMille Award for career achievement.

The best actress, comedy or musical, nominees also contained a pair of Globes rookies: Hailee Steinfeld for the teen comedy The Edge of Seventeen and Lily Collins for Warren Beatty's Howard Hughes tale Rules Don't Apply.

“When you see that the HFPA comes back with six nominations you know they saw the work and the love put into the film,” Jenkins said by phone. “It fills my heart.”

The other nominees for best picture, drama, were “Manchester by the Sea,” ”Lion,” ”Hell or High Water” and “Hacksaw Ridge.”

On the television side, “The People v. O.J. Simpson” continued its awards success with five nominations, including best limited series and nods for stars Sarah Paulson, Courtney B. Vance, Sterling K. Brown and John Travolta.

Other awards regulars (“Veep,” ”Transparent”) were recognized, too, though a number of more recent acclaimed shows not eligible for September’s Emmy Awards elbowed their way in, including “The Night Of,” ”Westworld,” ”Atlanta,” ”This Is Us” and “Insecure.” HBO led the networks with 14 nominations.

“Huge thanks to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and the Russian hackers that made our nominations possible,” joked “Veep” star Julia Louis-Dreyfus on her eighth Globe nod.

The film nominees also verified that this year’s awards season isn’t nearly so white as last year’s. Along with “Moonlight,” nominations were heaped on Denzel Washington’s August Wilson adaptation “Fences” (including acting nods for Washington and Viola Davis), the interracial marriage drama “Loving” (leads Ruth Negga and Joel Edgerton were each nominated) and the inspirational NASA drama about African-American mathematicians “Hidden Figures” (for which Octavia Spencer was nominated). Those nominations confirm what has already solidified as a notably more diverse Oscar field.

Kenneth Lonergan’s tender portrait of grief, “Manchester by the Sea,” landed five nominations, including best actor in a drama for Casey Affleck and best supporting actress for Michele Williams. “It will actually be my first time attending the Golden Globes and I’ve been working for more than 20 years, so this moment isn’t lost on me,” said Affleck.

The Weinstein Co.’s “Lion,” about an Indian boy separated from his family, had an especially good morning. The film also earned four nods, including acting nominations for Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman.

Mel Gibson, long a divisive, controversial figure in Hollywood, also had reason to celebrate. His World War II drama “Hacksaw Ridge” landed three nominations, including best director and best actor in a drama for star Andrew Garfield.

But a few of Hollywood’s most revered directors went empty-handed. Neither Martin Scorsese’s “Silence” nor Clint Eastwood’s “Sully” landed anything.

The best actress race is one of the year’s most competitive, though it’s so far been dominated by “Elle” star Isabelle Huppert. She was nominated for best actress in a drama, along with Amy Adams (“Arrival”), Natalie Portman (“Jackie”), Jessica Chastain (“Miss Sloane”) and Negga.

Along with “La La Land,” the best picture, comedy or musical, nominees were “20th Century Women,” ”Sing Street,” ”Florence Foster Jenkins” and — most strikingly — the R-rated superhero romp “Deadpool.” ”As we speak, the entire ‘Deadpool’ team is engaged in a grotesque, early morning tickle-fight,” tweeted the film’s star, Ryan Reynolds, who was also nominated.

The Hollywood Foreign Press, a collection of mostly freelance journalists, has a history of sometimes playing favorites and packing its lively banquet with stars. This year’s picks featured some eyebrow-raising outliers like the unheralded Aaron Taylor-Johnson for Tom Ford’s “Nocturnal Animals” for best supporting actor and Jonah Hill for the poorly reviewed “War Dogs.”

The Globes, which will be hosted in Beverly Hills by Jimmy Fallon in Jan. 8, are no Oscar predictor. But their nominations did nothing to unsettle the front-runner status of “La La Land” (the top choice by the New York Film Critics and the Critics’ Choice Awards) or the close pursuit of “Moonlight” (Los Angeles Film Critics Association and Gotham Independent Film Awards winner). “Manchester by Sea” also has the look of a shoo-in.

Other choices were anything but surprising. Meryl Streep landed her 30th nomination for best actress in a musical or comedy for “Florence Foster Jenkins.” The film, about a Manhattan heiress’ quixotic dreams of singing opera, was one of the morning’s biggest winners, scoring four nominations including nods for Hugh Grant and Simon Helberg. Streep, an eight-time winner, will also be the recipient of the Cecil B. DeMille Award for career achievement.

Along with Streep and Stone, the best actress, comedy or musical, nominees include Annette Bening (“20th Century Women”), Hailee Steinfeld for the teen comedy “The Edge of Seventeen” and Lily Collins for Warren Beatty’s Howard Hughes tale “Rules Don’t Apply.”

In a sign of Hollywood’s increasing division between mega blockbusters and smaller independent films, the lead nominee getters were overwhelmingly independent. Lionsgate led the way with 13 nods thanks largely to “La La Land.” The indie outfit A24, producer of “Moonlight,” followed with nine. Amazon Studios, which is distributing “Manchester by the Sea” with Roadside Attractions, outranked goliaths like the Walt Disney Co. (three noms) and Warner Bros. (just one). Plus, Amazon earned five TV nods for “Transparent” and “Mozart in the Jungle.”

The nominees for best animated film are: “Zootopia,” ”Kubo and the Two Strings,” ”Moana,” ”My Life as a Zucchini” and “Sing.” Left out was Pixar’s “Finding Dory,” the year’s top domestic box-office hit.
