British actress Olivia Colman was among the nominees for best performance by an actress in a motion picture: drama for her turn in Empire Of Light.
She was ed by Cate Blanchett as well as Viola Davis, Ana De Armas and Michelle Williams.
Blanchett was nominated for Tar, Davis for The Woman King, De Armas for Blonde and Williams for The Fabelmans.
In the parallel category of best performance by an actor in a motion picture (drama) Brendan Fraser earned a nomination for his performance in The Whale.
Fraser has already seen widespread critical acclaim for his emotional performance in the film, which tells the story of an obese and reclusive English teacher.
The actor previously said he will not attend the Golden Globes in January if he is nominated, following an alleged incident in 2003.
In 2018, Fraser said he was groped by longtime Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) member Philip Berk, a former president of the organisation behind the Globes.
He was ed by Bill Nighy, who received a nod for Living, Hugh Jackman for The Son, Austin Butler for Elvis and Jeremy Pope for The Inspection.
It comes after the 2022 Golden Globes were held behind closed doors after its organising body, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), faced heavy criticism over diversity issues within the organisation.
The typically star-studded and joke-filled event was replaced by periodic updates from the Golden Globes website and official social media s, after NBC refused to air the show.
But the HFPA announced that the 2023 ceremony would see the organisation make greater efforts to diversify its voting pool.
Last week comedian Jerrod Carmichael was announced as host, with the ceremony due to take place on Tuesday, January 10th.
