Elsewhere, no women were nominated in the best director category at this year’s awards.
James Cameron has been nominated for his highly anticipated Avatar sequel, alongside Martin McDonagh for The Banshees Of Inisherin and Steven Spielberg and Tony Kushner for The Fabelmans.
Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert received recognition for Everything Everywhere All At Once, as did Baz Luhrmann for Elvis.
It comes after the 2022 Golden Globes were held behind closed doors after its organizer, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), faced heavy criticism over diversity issues within the organisation.
The typically star-studded and joke-filled event was replaced with regular updates from the Golden Globes website and official social media accounts after NBC declined to air the show.
However, the HFPA announced that the organization would make greater efforts to diversify its voting pool at the 2023 ceremony.
Last week, comedian Jerrod Carmichael was announced as the host, with the ceremony set to take place on Tuesday, January 10.
