enneth Branagh's childhood-inspired Belfast and Jane Campion's dark Western The Power of the Dog topped Monday's Golden Globes nominations, as the troubled awards seek to shrug off a Hollywood boycott over ethical lapses.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association -- which votes on the Globes -- has been under fire over allegations of racism, sexism, bullying and corruption.
Studios including Warner Bros, Netflix and Amazon are refusing to work with the HFPA, and television network NBC has dropped its Globes broadcast next month, meaning A-listers are unlikely to attend whatever form of ceremony is held.
"It's certainly not going to be the celebrity-driven event that we've had in the past," HFPA president Helen Hoehne told AFP at the Globes nominations announcement in Los Angeles.
"We have a long history of handing out the award and we just wanted to continue to do it like we always have," she added.
Belfast and Power of the Dog collected seven nominations 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.
