'Nomadland,' 'Rocks' lead more diverse BAFTA nominations
This image released by Altitude shows, from left, Kosar Ali, Ruby Stokes and Bukky Bakray in a scene from "Rocks." Much like previous Academy Awards controversies, last year's nominations by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts were denounced for their all-male directing nominees and all-white acting nominees, a backlash that spawned a #BaftasSoWhite hashtag. The British academy responded with a seven-month review. Also nominated are Lee Isaac Chung for the family drama โMinariโ and Thomas Vinterberg for the Danish dark comedy โAnother Round.โMore films were nominated, too. ___AP's Hilary Fox contributed to this report from London___Follow AP Film Writer Jake Coyle on Twitter at: http://twitter.com/jakecoyleAP

Kate Hudson in, Spike Lee out and more Golden Globe chaos
Technically they even snubbed an entire category when best supporting actress was skipped over by mistake. From the Kate Hudson movie that no one has heard of to the very awkward shut out of Spike Lee, hereโs a look at some of the biggest surprises of the morning. Youโd be hard pressed to find someone who wasnโt surprised to hear Kate Hudsonโs name announced among the best actress nominees. That movie is called โMusic,โ a fantasy musical drama with Hudson, Leslie Odom Jr. and Maddie Ziegler that marks pop star Siaโs directorial debut. Leeโs acclaimed Vietnam drama โDa 5 Bloodsโ was expected to be a shoo-in for any number of categories: Best picture, best director, best actor for Delroy Lindo or supporting actor for Chadwick Boseman, who died last year.
