Golden Globes records: Hans Zimmer eyes milestones, music stars face off

The Golden Globe nominations were announced by Mindy Kaling and Morris Chestnut on Dec. 9, and a number of records or milestones were achieved, with a few others within sight. Check out the complete list of Globe nominees here.

Denzel Washington secured his 11th nomination, Best Film Supporting Actor for his scene-stealing work in “Gladiator II.” That makes him the most nominated Black performer of all time at these awards. Meanwhile, Walt Disney Pictures has now been nominated for Best Animated Feature 34 times thanks to the company’s latest pair of bids for “Inside Out 2” and “Moana 2.”

Hans Zimmer is inching closer to a couple of records. He’s nominated for Best Original Score for his work on “Dune: Part Two,” which is his 16th bid, eight away from the legendary John Williams, who has contended 24 times. If Zimmer wins, though, he’ll tie composer Dimitri Tiomkin for the most victories in the category (four). Zimmer previously won for “The Lion King,” “Gladiator,” and “Dune: Part One.”

In a rare achievement, two recording artists are nominated against each other in an acting category. Selena Gomez (“Emilia Pérez”) and Ariana Grande (“Wicked“) are both up for Best Film Supporting Actress. The last time this happened was when Lady Gaga (“American Horror Story: Hotel”) and Queen Latifah (“Besse”) faced off nine years ago; Lady Gaga won that race.

Speaking of Gomez, she joins the elite list of actors who have been nominated twice in one year. She contends for Best TV Comedy/Musical Actress for “Only Murders in the Building” in addition to her nom for “Emilia Pérez.” Two other actors have achieved that distinction. Sebastian Stan is nominated for his dramatic film role in “The Apprentice” and his comedic turn in “A Different Man.” And Kate Winslet, who has actually doubled up before, is dually nominated for her dramatic film “Lee” and her limited series “The Regime.”

Find out if anyone makes history when winners are announced on Jan. 5 during a ceremony hosted by first-time Globe nnominee Nikki Glaser (Best Stand-Up Comedy Performance for “Someday You’ll Die”).
