Netflix has dominated nominations for 78th Annual Golden Globe Awards with a jaw-dropping 42 nods, including six apiece for TV series “The Crown” and the film “Mank.”
The nominations for the award ceremony, celebrating the best in television and film, were announced on Wednesday, February 3.
Golden Globes typically takes place in January. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which gives out the awards, pushed the ceremony to February this year, citing the coronavirus pandemic.
This year’s nominees highlights TV shows and films that were being watched from home while in quarantine.
Twenty of those nods gotten by Netflix came from television shows like “The Queen’s Gambit,” “Ozark,” “The Crown” and “”Unorthodox.” The rest came from films like “Mank,” and “The Trial of the Chicago 7.”
The streaming giant led in both television and film nominations, including the drama “Mank,” which led with six nods, including one for best drama, while the “The Trial of the Chicago 7” followed with five nominations.
Netflix also did well in the television categories. Its royal drama “The Crown” led with six nominations, followed by the comedy “Schitt’s Creek,” with five nods.
The streaming giant, which beat its own record of 17 TV nominations from last year, also secured three out of the five nominations for best drama TV series — ‘The Crown,’ ‘Ozark’ and ‘Ratched’ — and four of the five acting nods for best actress in that category for Olivia Colman, Emma Corrin, Laura Linney and Sarah Paulson.
Shut out of the best drama race was the Netflix critical favourite “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” although Globes voters recognised the lead performances by Chadwick Boseman, who died last year at the age of 43 after a private battle with colon cancer.
Amy Poehler and Tina Fey will return as hostesses, this time broadcasting bi-coastally with Fey staying in New York, while Poehler hosts from Los Angeles. The ceremony is planned for February 28 and will be shown on NBC.
TV pioneer Norman Lear will receive the Carol Burnett Award for his lifetime of achievement and actress/activist Jane Fonda will be presented Cecil B. deMille Award for her outstanding contributions to the industry.
