In April, “Black Panther” became the No. 10 highest grossing film of all time, kicking “Frozen” out of the top 10.
Other nominees for Best Motion Picture-Drama include “BlacKkKlansman,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “If Beale Street Could Talk,” and “A Star Is Born.”
The Golden Globes will be held on Jan. 6, 2019.
Last year’s awards, which featured a speech from Oprah Winfrey that sparked rumors of a 2020 presidential run, dipped 5 percent in viewership from the previous year, earning approximately 19 million viewers.
