Three women have been nominated for best director at the Golden Globe awards - the first time more than one has been shortlisted in a single year, writes BBC.

Regina King, Chloe Zhao and Emerald Fennell are up for the prize, which had only previously nominated five women in the Golden Globes’ 77-year history.

Mank leads the overall film awards race with six nominations, while The Crown leads the TV categories, also with six.

Sacha Baron Cohen and Olivia Colman are among the Britons up for acting awards.

The nominations belatedly fired the starting gun for this year’s Hollywood awards season, which has been delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Aaron Sorkin’s film drama The Trial of the Chicago 7 and TV comedy Schitt’s Creek also performed well, with five nominations each.
