LOS ANGELES, United States — Kenneth
Branagh's childhood-inspired "
Belfast" and Jane Campion's dark
Western "
Power of the Dog" topped Monday's Globes nominations, as the
troubled awards seek to overcome a dispute over diversity and transparency.

The
Hollywood Foreign Press Association,
which votes on the Globes, has been under fire due to allegations of racism,
sexism, bullying, and corruption.
The Globes awards party usually features top
A-listers, but the stars are expected to stay away from the ceremony next
month, and TV network NBC has dropped its broadcast.
"It's not going to be the usual event,
but we always said that no matter what we would nominate and we would hand out
the awards," HFPA president
Helen Hoehne told AFP at the nominations
announcement in Beverly Hills.
"We have a long history of handing out
the award and we just wanted to continue to do it like we always have in the
past."
"Belfast" and "Power of the
Dog" headed the nominations with seven nods apiece for the 79th Golden
Globe awards.
Deaf family drama "Coda," sci-fi
epic "
Dune" and Will Smith's tennis biopic "King Richard,"
about the father of Venus and
Serena Williams, rounded out the best drama
category — the Globes' biggest prize.
HBO drama "Succession" topped the
Globes' television section, with five nominations.
The Golden Globes have traditionally been
second in importance only to the
Oscars in Hollywood's film award season, but
their future has been called into question.
More than 100 Tinseltown publicists wrote to
the HFPA in March demanding an end to "discriminatory behavior,
unprofessionalism, ethical impropriety, and alleged financial corruption."
The organization has rushed through reforms,
including admitting its biggest ever annual intake of new members earlier this
year.
But actors such as Scarlett Johansson and
Mark Ruffalo have slammed the changes as inadequate, while Tom Cruise returned
his three Golden Globes to the HFPA in protest.
Powerful studios including Warner Bros,
Netflix and
Amazon have said they will not work with the HFPA until more
meaningful reforms are made.
Rapper Snoop Dogg was the surprise guest at
Monday's early morning nomination unveiling at a Beverly Hills hotel, reading
out multiple categories.
