| But voters also made sure to populate the Globes banquet with a wide range of honorees, throwing their weight behind racially diverse films like “Moonlight,” about a young man growing up in a poor Miami neighborhood; “Hidden Figures,” a look at unsung black heroines during the space race of the 1960s; and “Loving,” a gentle portrait of a real-life couple whose marriage ended anti-miscegenation laws. | But voters also made sure to populate the Globes banquet with a wide range of honorees, throwing their weight behind racially diverse films like “Moonlight,” about a young man growing up in a poor Miami neighborhood; “Hidden Figures,” a look at unsung black heroines during the space race of the 1960s; and “Loving,” a gentle portrait of a real-life couple whose marriage ended anti-miscegenation laws. |
| Joining “Moonlight” as nominees for best drama were Mel Gibson’s “Hacksaw Ridge,” the neo-western “Hell or High Water,” Amazon’s “Manchester by the Sea,” and the Weinstein Company’s “Lion.” Along with “La La Land,” best comedy or musical honorees went to the raunchy superhero film “Deadpool,” “Florence Foster Jenkins,” “Sing Street” and “20th Century Women,” a film that has not yet been released. | Joining “Moonlight” as nominees for best drama were Mel Gibson’s “Hacksaw Ridge,” the neo-western “Hell or High Water,” Amazon’s “Manchester by the Sea,” and the Weinstein Company’s “Lion.” Along with “La La Land,” best comedy or musical honorees went to the raunchy superhero film “Deadpool,” “Florence Foster Jenkins,” “Sing Street” and “20th Century Women,” a film that has not yet been released. |

| Given its proximity to the more prestigious Academy Awards, the Globes receives most of its heat from film. In truth, though, the Globes are not especially predictive of what will happen on Oscar night. Last year, “The Revenant” and “The Martian” were the two top Globes winners; both lost to “Spotlight” at the Oscars. | Given its proximity to the more prestigious Academy Awards, the Globes receives most of its heat from film.

| But the Globes ceremony has been increasingly important on the television front, largely because the press association has made a point in recent years of acknowledging fledgling broadcast series like “Jane the Virgin” and “Brooklyn Nine-Nine.” This time around “This is Us,” a new hit NBC drama, may have filled that quotient. “This is Us” received nominations for best drama and for two of its actresses (Chrissy Metz and Mandy Moore). | But the Globes ceremony has been increasingly important on the television front, largely because the press association has made a point in recent years of acknowledging fledgling broadcast series like “Jane the Virgin” and “Brooklyn Nine-Nine.” This time around “This is Us,” a new hit NBC drama, may have filled that quotient. “This is Us” received nominations for best drama and for two of its actresses (Chrissy Metz and Mandy Moore). |
| The other series nominated for best drama were “The Crown,” a Netflix costume drama; HBO’s “Game of Thrones”; “Stranger Things,” also from Netflix; and HBO’s “Westworld,” a nihilistic series about a futuristic theme park populated by robots. Up for best comedy: “Atlanta,” “Mozart in the Jungle,” “Transparent,” “Veep” and “blackish.” | The other series nominated for best drama were “The Crown,” a Netflix costume drama; HBO’s “Game of Thrones”; “Stranger Things,” also from Netflix; and HBO’s “Westworld,” a nihilistic series about a futuristic theme park populated by robots.

| Among limited series, Globes voters were supportive of “The Night Manager,” a glossy international drama about a hotelier recruited to spy on an arms dealer. It received at least three nominations, including one for best limited series. The HBO crime drama “The Night Of” also did well, picking up nods for best limited series and for two actors. | Among limited series, Globes voters were supportive of “The Night Manager,” a glossy international drama about a hotelier recruited to spy on an arms dealer.

| Streaming services like Amazon, which have been treated kindly by the press association in recent years, had a mixed morning. Amazon picked up numerous nods for series like “Mozart in the Jungle” and “Transparent,” although Judith Light was left out of the supporting actress category for her work on that exploration of gender and age. | Streaming services like Amazon, which have been treated kindly by the press association in recent years, had a mixed morning.
