Erivo also scored an acting mination for her role as Harriet Tubman. If Erivo earns an Oscar mination — as an actress or co-writer of “Stand Up” — it would get her closer to EGOT status since she’s alrey won an Emmy, Grammy and Tony for her work on Broway’s “ Color Purple.” Erivo shares her music mination with co-writer Joshuah Brian Campbell.

Beyoncé scored fourth Golden Globe mination of her career — she’s up for co-writing song “Listen” from “ Lion King,” where she voiced character Nala. She shares mination with co-writers Labrinth and Ilya Salmanzeh. Swift is minated for her third Globe with “Beautiful Ghosts” from “Cats,” a song she co-wrote with Andrew Lloyd Webber.

John — who won a Globe for “Can You Feel Love Tonight?” from original 1994 “ Lion King” — picked up a mination for “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again” from his “Rocketman” biopic. He shares his mination with longtime writing partner Bernie Taupin.

Jennifer Lopez, who earned her first and only Globe mination in ’90s for her starring role in “Selena,” is competing for best performance by an actress in a supporting role in any motion picture thanks to her well-received role in film “Hustlers,” which includes appearances by Cardi B and Lizzo.

His seventh mination may be his lucky one: Randy Newman, who was previously minated for six Globes with wins, is up for best original score with “Marri Story.” Or minees include Alexandre Desplat (“Little Women”), Hildur Guđnóttir (“Joker”), Thomas Newman (“1917″) and Daniel Pemberton (“Morless Brooklyn”).
