Sandra Oh, who has been tapped to co-host the awards celebration with Andy Samberg, will be the first Canadian emcee as well as the award show's first host of Asian heritage.

"[The pair] did a bit together on the Emmys this past year. They were so strong, it was a highlight of the show," noted Barry Adelman, executive producer of Dick Clark Productions, the firm behind the Globes telecast.

"She has strong comedy chops."

A handful of Canadians are in contention in the TV categories, starting with Ottawa-born Oh, who earned an acting nod for her lead role in Killing Eve, with thespy series itself a nominee for best TV drama. Last fall, the series earned Oh an Emmy nomination, making her the first actor of Asian descent nominated for a best dramatic actress Emmy. She previously won a Golden Globe for the medical drama Grey's Anatomy.

Newmarket, Ont.-born Jim Carrey picked up an acting nomination Thursday for the comedy series Kidding, in which he plays a children's television host. Carrey's also a past winner: he earned a Golden Globe for the Andy Kaufman dramedy Man on the Moon.

Stephan James, hailing from Scarborough, Ont., earned an acting nod for his turn opposite Julia Roberts in the series Homecoming, in which he playsa soldier seeking post-warfare treatment. He also appears in the movie-drama nominatedIf Beale Street Could Talk.

Montreal director Jean-Marc Valle's limited series Sharp Objects picked up a trio of nominations. It will vie for best limited TV series, and earned acting nominations for Amy Adams and Patricia Clarkson. In January, his acclaimed series Big Little Lies dominated with four Golden Globe wins.

As part of the nominees announcement Thursday morning, HFPA president Meher Tatnaalso revealed that the press group has added a new life-achievement category equivalent to its existing Cecil B. DeMille Award,to honour an impactful career in and outstanding contributions to the medium of television. The first honouree will be announced, along with the latest DeMille Award recipient, in coming weeks.

Tatna called the diversity seen with some of this year's nominations a "very hopeful sign" for the entertainment industry.

"We are a diverse group of voters. [The nominees] spoke to us in some way. They're all good," she declared.

Awards shows have increasingly suffered from waning audiences, but the Golden Globes have an edge on several fronts: the show isconsidered to have a less formal, more freewheeling spirit (since it's staged as a banquet with an open bar), and it's also typically the first out of the gate in the new year.

The 76th Golden Globes will air live from the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Jan. 6.
