Succession and West Side Story are among the big nominees for next year’s Golden Globes after a controversial 12 months for the organisers.

Over the last year, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which runs the ceremony, has faced significant criticism after it was discovered none of its members were black.

There have also been questions around alleged discriminatory practices, including apparently accepting inappropriate “freebies” following a Los Angeles Times investigation.

It led to Tom Cruise handing back his awards, NBC pulling out as the awards’ broadcaster and Netflix, Amazon and Warner Media (which owns HBO and Warner Bros) all saying they would not work with the HFPA until there were more meaningful reforms in place.

Sky News understands that Netflix does not believe the HFPA has gone far enough in its reforms, and that it did not enter any of its content for submission, despite the numerous nominations.

A source added that the company believes it is up to nominees whether to celebrate nominations from the association or not.

Despite the backlash this year, the HFPA, which claims it has overhauled its membership, has pressed ahead with its Golden Globe nominations, giving nods to the likes of Succession, Squid Game and Pose.

The HFPA says “there are now people of colour involved in decision-making throughout the organisation”, and almost half its members are women.

It has also brought in a ban on gift giving from studios to its membership, in an effort to stop them apparently trying to influence the board.

It is not clear whether studios will accept nominations from the HFPA amid the criticism, or reject the recognition.

Power Of The Dog, West Side Story and Swan Song all lead the way in film groups, while Ted Lasso, Succession and Pose get nods in the TV categories.

Denzel Washington, Benedict Cumberbatch and Will Smith are among those vying for the best actor in a drama gong.

And Andrew Garfield and Anthony Ramos both get recognised in the actor in a musical or comedy category for their role in Lin Manuel-Miranda films, alongside the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio and Peter Dinklage.

Belfast, Coda, Dune, King Richard and Power Of The Dog will battle it out for best film.

The Morning Show, WandaVision, Pose, Squid Game and Mare Of Easttown also picked up a number of nominations across the main TV categories.

The Golden Globes ceremony will take place on 9 January – but there are no details yet about which network will broadcast it or who will be hosting.
