The stars are coming thick and fast on the red carpet now as the ceremony approaches. La La Land's Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone are among those arriving.
British actors are well represented in the TV categories this year, thanks to dramas such as The Night Manager, The Crown and Westworld.
BBC drama The Night Manager leads the Brit-pack with four nominations, including acting nods for Hugh Laurie, Tom Hiddleston and Olivia Colman.
Thandie Newton is nominated for her role in Westworld, while Claire Foy is nominated in the leading actress category for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II in The Crown.
All three shows, however, are trumped by The People vs. OJ Simpson – which leads the TV categories with four acting nods for its stars plus a nomination for best miniseries.
The stars keep coming thick and fast on the red carpet...

We interrupt this coverage to bring you a special request from Brie Larson.
