Shortlisted for Best Actress in a Musical/Comedy

TV Series are Hannah Einbender and Jean Smart  for Hacks; Elle Fanning for The Great; Issa Rae for Insecure and Tracee Ellis Ross for Black-Ish.

Winners will be announced on January 9, although the ceremony will not air on NBC as usual following the Hollywood Foreign Press Association that organisers the awards.

It was accused of overlooking black talent last year, when the critically slated Emily In Paris was nominated but not the widely acclaimed I May Destroy You. It was then  revealed there were no black members.

The association has promised to make changes.

• Earlier today it was announced that Brett Goldstein is to stage a live version of his hit podcast Films To Be Buried With at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall on February 12 .
