Golden Globe Awards: Hollywood honors best in film, TV
The 76th annual Golden Globe Awards have kicked off in Beverly Hills, California with hosts Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg.
Twenty-five awards in cinema and television will be handed out throughout the evening, with Sunday's winners seen as a predictor to which films will win the all-important Academy Award on February 24.
Nominations aplenty
Vice, a biopic of former US Vice-President Dick Cheney, leads the film nominations with six.
A Star is Born — with singer Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper — has five nominations and tells the story of a tragic romance between a fading rock star and a rising pop star. Many critics are tipping it to win in the coveted best drama category.
"We're expecting A Star is Born to take it down in the end, solidifying its Oscar front-runner status," industry trade publication Vanity said when predicting which film would take home the statuette.
"A Star is Born has everything going for it, including box office and critical success," Paul Dergarabedian, a senior media analyst at industry data firm Comscore, told the Agence France-Presse news agency ahead of the ceremony.

Bohemian Rhapsody, a biopic about Queen's Freddie Mercury, has also been nominated for best drama. Three films with African-American dominated casts or films that deal with racial themes — Black Panther, BlacKkKlansman and If Beale Street Could Talk — have been nominated in the same category.
Green Book, a movie about a friendship between a black classical pianist and his white chauffeur as they drive through the US southern states in the 1960s, is tipped to win the best musical/comedy category.
Winners are chosen by the 90-odd members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
