The Chilean film A Fantastic Woman is nominated in Best Motion Picture – Foreign Language. The movie follows Marina (new star Daniela Vega), a lounge singer whose life is turned upside down by an unexpected loss of someone close to her and the discrimination she then faces from individuals and institutions as a trans woman. The film is also Chile’s official entry for the Oscars’ Best Foreign Language Film award, and will roll out widely on February 2nd after a limited release late in 2017.

Sony Pictures Classics’ Call Me By Your Name picked up three total nominations, including a nod in the Best Motion Picture – Drama category. Breakout star Timothée Chalamet picked up a nomination in Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama for his portrayal of Elio, while Armie Hammer (Oliver) is up for a trophy in Best Supporting Actor. Call Me By Your Name has done just over $4.9 million at the domestic box office in its six weeks of release. The film is still rolling out to additional cities; find a screening near you here.

The Shape of Water will also be competing for the award in Best Motion Picture – Drama, one of the film’s seven nominations.

Ricky Martin, out singer and star of the upcoming season of The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story, has been announced as one of the evening’s presenters. Out actors Neil Patrick Harris and Angelina Jolie will also be presenters.

Many on the red carpet will be wearing black in recognition of the sexual abuse allegations in Hollywood that have emerged over the past few months. Some stars will additionally be sporting Time’s Up pins in reference to the sexual harassment prevention initiative launched earlier this week by over 300 women working in entertainment. The initiative aims to combat harassment with a legal defense fund for survivors across all industries, lobbying for legislation against companies that enable perpetrators, and working towards gender parity in leadership positions.

The 75th Annual Golden Globes will air live Sunday, January 7 at 5pm PT/8pm ET on NBC, hosted by Seth Meyers. Tweet with @GLAAD using #RepresentationMatters.
