One of the biggest nights in the film awards calendar takes place later when stars gather for the Golden Globes in Los Angeles.
They are often seen as a precursor to the Oscars and this year British interest is led by stars including Eddie Redmayne, Dame Maggie Smith, Idris Elba, Dame Helen Mirren and Kate Winslet.
Redmayne will be hoping for a second successive triumph in the best actor in a motion picture (drama) category at the Globes.
In 2015 he won for his portrayal of Professor Stephen Hawking in The Theory Of Everything, and this year he is nominated for The Danish Girl where he plays transgender artist Lili Elbe.
The star, who also won an Oscar last year, is up against 10-time nominee Leonardo DiCaprio, who received a nod for The Revenant, as well as Bryan Cranston (Trumbo), Michael Fassbender (Steve Jobs) and Will Smith (Concussion).
Dame Maggie is nominated in the best actress in a comedy or musical category for her role in The Lady In The Van, while Dame Helen and Winslet are both nominated for best supporting actress in a motion picture.
Dame Helen gets a nod for her role as journalist Hedda Hopper in Trumbo, while Winslet is recognised for her portrayal of marketing executive Joanna Hoffman in the film Steve Jobs about the Apple founder.
Elba and Rylance will both vie for the best supporting actor in a motion picture category and the best actor in a limited series or TV movie.
Elba is nominated for his roles in Beasts Of No Nation and Luther, while Rylance picks up nods for his performances in Bridge Of Spies and the small screen adaptation of Wolf Hall.
Alongside them in the best actor in a limited series or TV movie category is fellow Briton David Oyelowo for Nightingale.
Irish star Saoirse Ronan is nominated in the best actress in a motion picture (drama) category for her turn as a homesick immigrant in Brooklyn.
She is up against Redmayne's Swedish co-star in The Danish Girl, Alicia Vikander, and Brie Larson for her performance in abduction drama Room, as well as Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara for Carol.
Rylance's Wolf Hall co-star Damian Lewis, who played Henry VIII in the TV series, is also nominated in the best supporting actor category where he is up against among others, Briton Alan Cumming for The Good Wife.
Wolf Hall also picked up a nomination for best limited series or TV movie and will compete against American Crime, American Horror Story: Hotel, Fargo and Flesh And Bone.
Dame Maggie's Downton Abbey co-star Joanne Froggatt is nominated for best supporting actress in a series, limited series or TV movie for her role as Anna Bates in the period drama.
The ceremony will be hosted by Ricky Gervais, who is returning for a fourth time.
He has been controversial in the past because of his irreverent jokes about the famous faces at the ceremony and this year has promised to "bite the hand that feeds me".
