South African comedian Trevor Noah has been nominated for a Golden Globes award in the category "Best Performance in Stand-up Comedy on Television".
He was nominated alongside Ricky Gervais, Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes, Chris Rock and Sarah Silverman.
The 2024 nominations for the newly revamped Golden Globes were announced on Monday.
"Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" topped the newly revamped Golden Globes nominations Monday.
"Barbie" a vivid feminist satire about the all-conquering line of plastic dolls, claimed nine nods, including best comedy as well as acting nominations for stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling.
This year's top-grossing movie, earning more than $1.4 billion globally, "Barbie" also scooped a whopping three best song nominations, and recognition for its writer-director Greta Gerwig.
Congratulations to the nominees for The Cinematic and Box Office Achievement Award!

"Oppenheimer," Christopher Nolan's critically adored film about the inventor of the nuclear bomb, took eight nominations, including best drama and best director.
Cast members including Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt and Robert Downey Jr all received nods.
Other movies that proved popular with Globes voters were "Killers of the Flower Moon" and "Poor Things," both earning seven nominations and "Past Lives" with five.
In another seeming bid to honour more household names, the number of nominees in each category has been increased.
A-listers such as Leonardo DiCaprio, the star of Martin Scorsese's crime epic "Killers of the Flower Moon", and Emma Stone for her turn in female Frankenstein-esque drama "Poor Things" scored nominations.
So did Paul Giamatti ("The Holdovers"), Timothee Chalamet ("Wonka"), Natalie Portman ("May December") and Bradley Cooper -- as both actor and director of "Maestro."
The Globes also honour the best in television.
"Succession" topped the drama section with nine nominations, while comedies "The Bear" and "Only Murders in the Building" led their section with five each.
The 81st Golden Globes ceremony will take place in Beverly Hills on January 7.
