A full list of nominees can be found here.

I'm truly baffled by Nocturnal Animals' nods (not quite so much for Amy Adams', but definitely for Aaron Taylor-Johnson's and Tom Ford's) but have to say I'm loving the love for Deadpool (both with the Critics' Choice and here). The same names are starting to come up frequently which is usually a good indicator of which way the wind is blowing, so to speak. La La Land has the most total nominations with seven nods, whilst Moonlight gets six and Manchester By The Sea has five.

Next up in awards season will be the announcement of this year's Screen Actors' Guild (SAG) Awards nominations, which will be revealed on Wednesday (14th December).
