The full list of nominees for this of nominees for this year’s Golden Globes Awards has been announced, despite the ceremony being mired in controversy.

In February, the Los Angeles Times published a damning report calling into question The Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s ethics and lack of diversity. It prompted a number of major filmmakers, studios and networks to pledge not to work with the organisation unless they implemented substantial changes. NBC has said it won’t broadcast the ceremony as it has in previous years.

The HFPA announced their list of nominations on a livestream today (December 13), with president Helen Hoehne beginning by discussing a number of reforms made by the organisation.

“This has been a year of change and reflection for the HFPA,” she said. “For the past eight months we have worked tirelessly as an organisation to be better. We changed our rules, bylaws, added a new code of conduct and restructured our governance.

“We also have 21 new members, the largest and most diverse in our 79-year-old history. Not only have they brought in a fresh perspective but ideas that will help us continue to evolve.”
