2017 Golden Globes Nominations: La La Land Leads with Seven and The People v. O.J. Simpson Lead TV with Five

The Golden Globes nominations were announced this morning around 8:15 a.m. EST. La La Land and Moonlight lead the way in motion picture comedy and drama categories with 7 and 6 nominations respectively, while The People v. O.J. Simpson leads TV with 5.
