Golden Globe Awards: Who's nominated and who has been snubbed?
The Way of Water, Top Gun: Maverick and Elvis have been nominated for best drama film at the Golden Globe awards when the ceremony returns to television after a year off following a diversity ethics scandal.
And Australian Cate Blanchett was nominated for best drama actress for the lead role in Tar alongside Viola Davis in The Woman King and Ana de Armas for playing Marilyn Monroe in Blonde.
As for television shows, The Staircase, Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, Pam and Tommy and The White Lotus have received lots of nominations, as have the cast who respectively starred in the shows. Jenna Ortega has also received a nomination for her leading role in Netflix’s hit Wednesday.
The ceremony will take place on January 10 and some of the nominations - or lack thereof - have caused quite a bit of controversy.
Jennifer Coolidge and Aubrey Plaza received noms for their roles in The White Lotus, but fans have said Meghann Fahy also deserved recognition as well for her performance. Yellowstone didn’t receive as much love as had been anticipated. And in what lots of fans have expressed their disappointment about online, Olivia Cooke from House of the Dragon didn’t receive a nomination either.
There are also very few female directors up for awards for the 2023 ceremony as well.

Kim Kardashian, a year of controversies and a power play.
Oscar winner Charlize Theron made a controversial comment this week about Kim Kardashian, stating that she holds more power in the entertainment industry than even a celebrated actress like Meryl Streep.
The comment was met with pushback from fellow celebrities, but the truth is, she’s actually correct.
On this episode of The Spill we’re joined by podcaster, author, and Kardashian expert Deni Todorovic to discuss the famous family. And how, after a year of controversies, scandals and heartbreak, they’ve still managed to become a more powerful brand than ever before.
Listen to today's episode of The Spill below:
Cop killers being investigated for links to conspiracy theories.
Queensland police will investigate whether two murdered officers were lured to a rural property by killers with links to extremist online communities.
Constables Matthew Arnold, 26, and Rachel McCrow, 29, along with 58-year-old resident Alan Dare were gunned down in Wieambilla, in the western Darling Downs region, on Monday evening.
Their killers - former school principal Nathaniel Train, his brother Gareth and sister-in-law Stacey - died in a firefight with heavily armed tactical officers later that night.
We are broken and hurting, yet buoyed by your overwhelming support. We simply say, thank you.

Another two constables who were called to the property - 28-year-olds Keeley Brough and Randall Kirk - managed to escape.
Queensland Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll said investigators would look at the killers' possible extremist links after a series of posts under the name of Gareth Train were uncovered on conspiracy theory forums.
The posts include references to anti-vaccine sentiments and claims high-profile shootings were hoaxes or false-flag operations.
"It's very difficult at the moment for us to reason with what has happened, there are no obvious reasons," Ms Carroll told ABC's 7.30 program on Tuesday night.
"But within the next few days and the next few weeks, I have no doubt that we will come back ... (with) some insight into what we believe took place."
Ms Carroll said every possible motivation for the killings was being looked at, including whether it was a premeditated attack on the officers.
"Some of the stuff that's online from these people, we will investigate what they have been doing not only in recent weeks but in recent years, who they've been interacting with ... their online presence, every aspect of this will be thorough," she said.

Brittany Higgins reaches Commonwealth settlement.
Brittany Higgins has reached a confidential settlement with the Commonwealth after the former political staffer's claims of sexual assault at Parliament House.
Lawyer Noor Blumer, acting for Ms Higgins, issued a brief statement on Tuesday.
"At a mediation held today, the Commonwealth and Ms Higgins settled her claims," Ms Blumer said.

— The Sydney Morning Herald (@smh) December 13, 2022
"At the request of Ms Higgins, the parties have agreed that the terms of the settlement are confidential."
Earlier in December, Ms Higgins' civil action named three respondents in her action: Senators Linda Reynolds and Michaelia Cash as well as the Commonwealth. Senator Reynolds is since believed to have been removed from the claim.
The documents set out Ms Higgins' intention to sue for sexual harassment, sex discrimination, disability discrimination, negligence, and victimisation.
At the time, the claim was expected to be worth about $3 million, including $2.5 million for future economic loss, past economic loss approaching $100,000 and general damages of $100,000.
None of those figures were mentioned on Tuesday.
"The parties welcome the fact of the settlement," Ms Blumer said.
Ms Higgins alleges she was raped in 2019 by Bruce Lehrmann inside Senator Reynolds' ministerial office, for whom they both worked as staffers.
Mr Lehrmann has consistently denied the allegation. His trial in the ACT Supreme Court was derailed by juror misconduct. Prosecutors decided not to pursue further action.

Candice Warner and daughters 'ambushed' at cricket.
Candice Warner says Cricket Australia's offer of extra security at Test matches is important for the safety of her three daughters and families of all players.
Warner revealed on Monday she was abused by a member of the crowd in Adelaide last week while walking to meet her husband and Australian opener David in the players' area.
The incident prompted her to confront a group of males while she had two of her daughters, aged three and eight, with her.

CA have since contacted her offering extra security at the remaining three Tests of the summer, against South Africa.
Warner has opted not to have physical security surround her, but instead has been given a number to call if any further abuse is directed at her.
"I just said, 'Look it's unnecessary, I don't need an escort. I'm very independent and I can stick up for myself'," she told Triple M Summer Breakfast.
"But it's more about the safety of all the players and their partners and families, and just everyone in general.
"As a mum of three daughters, their safety is paramount."
Warner stressed she was not receiving special treatment and that the abuse had not centred around her husband David.
"I have a phone number I can call, as can everyone else," Warner said.
"It's not just a phone number for me or the Warners.
"This was a personal attack on me. It's got nothing to do with Dave, it's about my past and about me."
