Meanwhile, Quebec filmmaker Denis Villeneuve is in the running for best drama film with his sci-fi sequel “Dune: Part Two” and Hamilton’s Martin Short has snagged his fourth nod for playing an embattled theatre director in Disney Plus’ “Only Murders in the Building.”
Vancouver’s Ryan Reynolds and Montreal’s Shawn Levy will vie for the cinematic and box office achievement award for their Marvel film “Deadpool & Wolverine.”
Canadian celebrity chef-turned actor Matty Matheson is part of the team nominated for best TV comedy for FX’s restaurant dramedy “The Bear,” which leads all TV nominations with five.
The 82nd Golden Globes will be hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser tonight.
The Selena Gomez-starring musical “Emilia Perez” leads all film nominees with 10.
