EWAN McGregor has been nominated for a Golden Globe Award for his role in the hit TV show Fargo.
McGregor, who plays two brothers in the show, lines up alongside Jude Law, David Thewlis and Alfred Molina in the TV categories.
The Shape Of Water, starring British actor Sally Hawkins, netted the most film nominations for the 75th Golden Globes.
They include best motion picture drama, where it will face Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk, while Hawkins was nominated for best actress in a drama movie.
Gary Oldman’s performance as Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour will compete with Daniel Day-Lewis in Phantom Thread for best actor in a drama movie.
Big Little Lies lead the way for television shows with six nominations, four more than The Crown, which secured Claire Foy a nomination for actress in a drama series.
Alongside Nolan’s film depicting the Second World War evacuation and Guillermo Del Toro’s Cold War-era fairy-tale, The Post and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri were also tipped for best drama film.
Daniel Kaluuya and Get Out, a satire which sees the Londoner tackle racism, won the most cheers from the press in the Beverly Hilton hotel when it was announced he was up for best actor in a comedy and the film was nominated for best comedy.
It is his first Golden Globe nomination while Hawkins is a previous victor for her role in Mike Leigh’s Happy-Go-Lucky.
She will face The Post’s Meryl Streep, Jessica Chastain in Molly’s Game, Frances McDormand in Three Billboards and Michelle Williams in All The Money In The World for best actress in a drama.
Day-Lewis, in what is his final film role, is up against Oldman, Denzel Washington in Roman J. Israel, Esq., and Timothee Chalamet in Call Me By Your Name for best drama actor.
Victoria & Abdul’s Judi Dench was nominated for best actress in a comedy for the role as the monarch. She won a Golden Globe for playing Victoria two decades ago in the film Mrs Brown.
She faces Helen Mirren and Ireland’s Saoirse Ronan in the category along with Battle Of The Sexes’ Emma Stone and Margot Robbie in I, Tonya.
The announcements, made by Kristen Bell, Alfre Woodard, Garrett Hedlund and Sharon Stone, came as Hollywood reels from a series of sexual harassment and assault scandals. The ceremony is on January 7.
