Christopher Plummer has been nominated for a Golden Globe for the role in which he replaced Kevin Spacey. The actor took over the role in “All the Money in the World” after a string* of sexual harassment allegations were made against Spacey. The nominees for best drama film include “Call Me by Your Name”, “Dunkirk,” “The Post,” “The Shape of Water” and “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.” Helen Mirren and Judi Dench are among the British nominees. They were nominated for best actress in the comedy and musical categories, alongside Saoirse Ronan, Margot Robbie and Emma Stone. “The Shape of Water” received the most nominations of any film — with seven in total. “The Post” and “Three Billboards” each have six. It was announced last month that Plummer would take over the role of the late oil tycoon Jean Paul Getty in “All the Money in the World.” According to Variety, Spacey had already filmed about two weeks of footage for the film, which is directed by Ridley Scott. Spacey had also appeared in a trailer* which was released in September. Mark Wahlberg and Michelle Williams, who also star in the movie, had to take part in reshoots for the film, which is still scheduled for release at the end of the month. But another film in which Spacey stars, “Baby Driver,” attracted one nomination — Ansel Elgort is up for best actor in a musical and comedy film. Gary Oldman is nominated for best actor in drama for playing Winston Churchill in “Darkest Hour” — the film’s only nod. Oldman faces competition from Timothee Chalamet (“Call Me by Your Name”), Daniel Day-Lewis (“Phantom Thread”), Tom Hanks, (“The Post”) and Denzel Washington (“Roman J. Israel, Esq”). Nicole Kidman and Robert De Niro are among the nominees in the television categories. (SD-Agencies) |
