Guillermo del Toro's Cold War-era fairytale ``The Shape of Water'' swam away with a leading seven nominations from the Golden Globes, while the HBO drama ``Big Little Lies'' led the television nominees with six nods.
``The Shape of Water'' was shot in Toronto and Hamilton.
``Big Little Lies'' was directed by Montreal's Jean-Marc Vallee.
The nominees for best picture drama are: ``Call Me By Your Name,'' ''Dunkirk,`` ''The Post,`` The Shape of Water'' and ``Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.''
The nominees for best picture comedy or musical are: ``The Disaster Artist,'' ''Get Out,`` ''Lady Bird,`` ''The Greatest Showman,`` and ''I, Tonya.``
The Globes are the most prominent platform yet in Hollywood's awards season to confront the post-Harvey Weinstein landscape. Among the supporting actor nominees is Canadian veteran Christopher Plummer, who has replaced Kevin Spacey in Ridley Scott's ``All the Money in the World.'' Scott, too, was nominated for best director.
