“Manchester By The Sea,” a drama about a family grappling with tragedy, scored five nominations.

Casey Affleck, Loving’s Joel Edgerton, Andrew Garfield, Viggo Mortensen and Denzel Washington will vie for best actor in a motion picture drama while Amy Adams, Jessica Chastain, Isabelle Huppert, Loving’s Ruth Negga and Natalie Portman are competing for best actress in that category.

On the TV side the verdict is in for “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story,” which led with five nominations, including for best limited series or TV movie. It will compete against “American Crime,” “The Dresser,” “The Night Manager” and “The Night Of.”

With its 14 nominations for such hit series as “Westworld” and “The Night Of,” HBO fared the best among networks, followed by FX with nine.

Best TV series nods went to “The Crown,” “Game of Thrones,” Stranger Things, “This Is Us” and “Westworld.”

“Atlanta,” “Blackish,” “Mozart In The Jungle,” “Transparent” and “Veep” were nominated for best television series, musical or comedy.

One winner has already been announced: Meryl Streep will be honored with the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement in the film industry.

“Meryl’s enthralling body of work across a diverse set of genres has made her a role model over the past 40 years, and she will continue to do so for generations to come,” Lorenzo Soria, the President of the HFPA, said of the eight-time Golden Globe winner.

“She is a trailblazer, having paved the way for women in television, film and stage. For shattering gender and age barriers, all with finesse and grace, the HFPA is humbled to bestow this honor upon her.”
