ByJakeCoyle TheAssociatedPress Damien Chazelle's Los Angeles musical "La La Land" sang and danced its way to a leading seven Golden Globes nomina- tions, with Barry Jenkins' celebrated coming-of-age tale "Moonlight" close on its heels with six nods. "La La Land" earned nominations for its lead actors, Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, as well as best picture, comedy or mu- sical. The film also scored nominations for directing, screenplay, score and origi- nal song in the nominations announced Monday in Los Angeles by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. "Moonlight," spread across three chapters of a young man's life in Miami, led the field in the dra- matic categories, includ- ing best picture. It earned nods for Jenkins' directing and script, supporting actor favorite Mahershala Ali and supporting actress Naomie Harris. "When you see that the HFPA comes back with six nominations you know they saw the work and the love put into the film," Jenkins said by phone. "It fills my heart." The other nominees for best picture, drama, were "Manchester by the Sea," "Lion," "Hell or High Wa- ter" and "Hacksaw Ridge." On the television side, "The People v. O.J. Simp- son" continued its awards success with five nomina- tions, including best limited series and nods for stars Sarah Paulson, Courtney B. Vance, Sterling K. Brown and John Travolta. Other awards regu- lars ("Veep," "Transpar- ent") were recognized, too, though a number of more recent acclaimed shows not eligible for September's Emmy Awards elbowed their way in, including "The Night Of," "Westworld," "At- lanta," "This Is Us" and "In- secure." HBO led the net- works with 14 nominations. "Huge thanks to the Hol- lywood Foreign Press As- sociation and the Russian hackers that made our nom- inations possible," joked "Veep" star Julia Louis- Dreyfus on her eighth Globe nod. The film nominees also verified that this year's awards season isn't nearly so white as last year's. Along with "Moonlight," nominations were heaped on Denzel Washington's August Wilson adaptation "Fences" (including acting nods for Washington and Viola Davis), the interracial marriage drama "Loving" (leads Ruth Negga and Joel Edgerton were each nomi- nated) and the inspirational NASA drama about Afri- can-American mathemati- cians "Hidden Figures" (for which Octavia Spencer was nominated). Those nomina- tions confirm what has al- ready solidified as a nota- bly more diverse Oscar field. Kenneth Lonergan's ten- der portrait of grief, "Man- chester by the Sea," landed five nominations, includ- ing best actor in a drama for Casey Affleck and best supporting actress for Mi- chele Williams. "It will ac- tually be my first time at- tending the Golden Globes and I've been working for more than 20 years, so this moment isn't lost on me," said Affleck. The Weinstein Co.'s "Lion," about an Indian boy separated from his fam- ily, had an especially good morning. The film also earned four nods, including acting nominations for Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman. Mel Gibson, long a divi- sive, controversial figure in Hollywood, also had reason to celebrate. His World War II drama "Hacksaw Ridge" landed three nominations, including best director and best actor in a drama for star Andrew Garfield. The best actress race is one of the year's most com- petitive, though it's so far been dominated by "Elle" star Isabelle Huppert. She was nominated for best ac- tress in a drama, along with Amy Adams ("Arrival"), Natalie Portman ("Jackie"), Jessica Chastain ("Miss Sloane") and Negga. Along with "La La Land," the best picture, comedy or musical, nominees were "20th Century Women," "Sing Street," "Florence Foster Jenkins" and — most strikingly — the R-rated su- perhero romp "Deadpool." "As we speak, the entire 'Deadpool' team is engaged in a grotesque, early morn- ing tickle-fight," tweeted the film's star, Ryan Reyn- olds, who was also nomi- nated. The Hollywood Foreign Press, a collection of mostly freelance journalists, has a history of sometimes play- ing favorites and pack- ing its lively banquet with stars. This year's picks fea- tured some eyebrow-raising outliers like the unheralded Aaron Taylor-Johnson for Tom Ford's "Nocturnal An- imals" for best supporting actor and Jonah Hill for the poorly reviewed "War Dogs." The Globes, which will be hosted in Beverly Hills by Jimmy Fallon in Jan. 8, are no Oscar predic- tor. But their nominations did nothing to unsettle the front-runner status of "La La Land" (the top choice by the New York Film Crit- ics and the Critics' Choice Awards) or the close pursuit of "Moonlight" (Los Ange- les Film Critics Associa- tion and Gotham Indepen- dent Film Awards winner). "Manchester by Sea" also has the look of a shoo-in. Other choices were any- thing but surprising. Meryl Streep landed her 30th nomination for best actress in a musical or comedy for "Florence Foster Jenkins." The film, about a Manhat- tan heiress' quixotic dreams of singing opera, was one of the morning's biggest win- ners, scoring four nomi- nations including nods for Hugh Grant and Simon Helberg. Streep, an eight- time winner, will also be the recipient of the Cecil B. DeMille Award for career achievement. Along with Streep and Stone, the best actress, com- edy or musical, nominees in- cludeAnnetteBening("20th Century Women"), Hailee Steinfeld for the teen com- edy "The Edge of Seventeen" and Lily Collins for Warren Beatty's Howard Hughes tale "Rules Don't Apply." In a sign of Hollywood's increasing division between mega blockbusters and smaller independent films, the lead nominee getters were overwhelmingly inde- pendent. Lionsgate led the way with 13 nods thanks largely to "La La Land." The indie outfit A24, pro- ducer of "Moonlight," fol- lowed with nine. Amazon Studios, which is distrib- uting "Manchester by the Sea" with Roadside Attrac- tions, outranked goliaths like the Walt Disney Co. (three noms) and Warner Bros. (just one). Plus, Ama- zon earned five TV nods for "Transparent" and "Mozart in the Jungle."

Environmen- talists in the Sierra Nevada praised congressional ap- proval of the Lake Tahoe Restoration Act as a criti- cal step necessary to con- tinue efforts to reverse a long-term drop in the clar- ity of the mountain lake's azure waters. The act approved Friday as part of a larger national package of infrastructure improvements authorizes up to $415 million in federal appropriations at the lake over the next seven years. Tahoe advocates who had been concerned that Presi- dent-elect Donald Trump might not sign the measure into law were relieved it is now headed to the desk of President Obama. "It's a great day for Lake Tahoe," said Darcie Good- man Collins, executive di- rector of the League to Save Lake Tahoe. "Once signed by President Obama, this legislation will allow es- sential actions to protect Lake Tahoe to move ahead, increasing the likelihood that we'll be able to 'Keep Tahoe Blue' now and for fu- ture generations." Two longtime backers of restoration efforts at the lake — Sens. Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Barbara Boxer, D-Calif. — voted against the overall bill because they say an amendment attached to the measure by House Ma- jority Leader Kevin Mc- Carthy, R-Calif., will allow more water to be pumped into the California's Cen- tral Valley to benefit agri- culture at the expense of the salmon industry. But Joanne Marchetta, executive director of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, said the impor- tance of the bipartisan leg- islation "cannot be over- stated." Underwater visibil- ity stretched to a depth of 105 feet at Lake Tahoe in 1968 when scientists first measured it by lowering a white, dinner-plate-sized disk into the water until it disappeared. Clarity worsened by 30 percent over the next three decades — about a foot a year — falling to a record- poor 64 feet in 1997. The rate of the loss of clarity has since slowed, registering 73 feet last year. The act authorizes the spending for environmental restoration projects, includ- ing the control of aquatic invasive species and re- ducing the threat of cata- strophic wildfire. "Federal policy is once again focused on preserv- ing Lake Tahoe for future generations of Americans to enjoy," said Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev. "Important initiatives addressing the numerous threats the lake faces will now be set into motion." Heller co-sponsored the bill along with Sens. Reid, Boxer and Dianne Fein- stein, D-Calif., as well as Reps. Mark Amodei, R-Nev., Tom McClintock, R-Calif., and John Garamendi, D- Calif. The bill includes: • $150 million for fire risk reduction and forest man- agement. • $113 million for storm- water runoff pollution re- duction. • $80 million for environ- mental improvement proj- ects that can range from bike trails to creek resto- ration.
