With four films up for best picture, four series nominated for the top television awards and 34 total nominations, Netflix dominated the 77th Golden Globe nominations on Monday.
Noah BaumbachB次元官网网址檚 divorce portrait B次元官网网址淢arriage StoryB次元官网网址� led all films with six nominations including best picture, drama, and acting nods for its two leads, Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson, in nominations announced by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association in Beverly Hills, California. B次元官网网址淢arriage Story,B次元官网网址� which landed on Netflix on Friday after a three-week run in theatres, also earned nods for BaumbachB次元官网网址檚 script, Laura DernB次元官网网址檚 supporting performance and Randy NewmanB次元官网网址檚 score. The only notable category it missed on was Baumbach for best director.
Three other Netflix films landed best picture nods, chief among them Martin ScorseseB次元官网网址檚 mob epic B次元官网网址淭he Irishman,B次元官网网址� which landed five nominations including best drama picture, best director for Scorsese and supporting acting nods for Al Pacino and Joe Pesci. Surprisingly left out was its lead, Robert De Niro.
Quentin TarantinoB次元官网网址檚 1960s Los Angeles fable B次元官网网址淥nce Upon a Time B次元官网网址� in HollywoodB次元官网网址� also scored five nominations, including best film comedy or musical and nods for Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio. Tarantino is also up for best director.
But Netflix flexed its muscles across all categories, just as it is girding for battle with a host of new streaming services. Two other films garnered best picture nods: the Vatican bromance B次元官网网址淭he Two PopesB次元官网网址� in the drama category (along with nominations for its stars, Jonathan Pryce and Anthony Hopkins), and the Eddie Murphy-led B次元官网网址淒olemite Is My NameB次元官网网址� in the comedy category (along with an acting nod for Murphy).
Two Netflix series tied HBOB次元官网网址檚 B次元官网网址淐hernobylB次元官网网址� with the most nominations on the TV side: B次元官网网址淭he CrownB次元官网网址� and B次元官网网址淯nbelievable.B次元官网网址� All scored four nods. NetflixB次元官网网址檚 B次元官网网址淭he Kominsky MethodB次元官网网址� and B次元官网网址淭he PoliticianB次元官网网址� also landed best series, comedy or musical, nominations alongside Emmy favourites B次元官网网址淔leabag,B次元官网网址� from Amazon, and HBOB次元官网网址檚 B次元官网网址淏arry.B次元官网网址�
Led by B次元官网网址淐hernobyl,B次元官网网址� B次元官网网址淪uccessionB次元官网网址� and B次元官网网址淏ig Little Lies,B次元官网网址� HBO still had a strong showing with 15 nods overall, second to NetflixB次元官网网址檚 17 television nominations, even if the final season of B次元官网网址淕ame of ThronesB次元官网网址� missed a best drama series nod.
Montreal filmmaker Jean-Marc ValleeB次元官网网址檚 Crazyrose Productions is named in the B次元官网网址淏ig Little LiesB次元官网网址� nomination. He directed the first season of the HBO series but not the second one, however he is an executive producer on the show.
But streaming services made greater inroads to one of HollywoodB次元官网网址檚 biggest parties than ever before. Amazon had 8 nominations in total, boosted by B次元官网网址淭he Marvelous Mrs. MaiselB次元官网网址� and B次元官网网址淔leabag.B次元官网网址� The recently launched Apple TV Plus scored its first Globes nominations with B次元官网网址淭he Morning Show,B次元官网网址� including nods for Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon. But shed a tear for Baby Yoda, Disney-PlusB次元官网网址� B次元官网网址淭he MandalorianB次元官网网址� didnB次元官网网址檛 make the cut.
Yet if the Globes nominations gave a snapshot of the changing media landscape, some saw a notable lack of progress in other areas. The press association again fielded an all-male directing category, nominating Scorsese, Tarantino, Bong Joon Ho (B次元官网网址淧arasiteB次元官网网址�), Sam Mendes (B次元官网网址�1917B次元官网网址�) and Todd Phillips (B次元官网网址淛okerB次元官网网址�). Among those let out were Greta Gerwig (B次元官网网址淟ittle WomenB次元官网网址�), Lulu Wang (B次元官网网址淭he FarewellB次元官网网址�) and Marielle Heller (B次元官网网址淎 Beautiful Day in the NeighborhoodB次元官网网址�). The Globes have only ever nominated five women for best director. At the 2017 awards, Natalie Portman pointedly introduced the categoryB次元官网网址檚 B次元官网网址渁ll-male nominees.B次元官网网址�
The awards campaign of B次元官网网址淛okerB次元官网网址� got a lift Monday, also landing nods for best film, drama, and for Joaquin PhoenixB次元官网网址檚 performance. With more than $1 billion in worldwide ticket sales, it was easily the biggest blockbuster to crash the Globes.
But some of the yearB次元官网网址檚 other popular titles celebrated Monday, including Rian JohnsonB次元官网网址檚 star-studded whodunit B次元官网网址淜nives OutB次元官网网址� (best picture, comedy or musical; acting nods for Daniel Craig and Ana de Armas), the Elton John biopic B次元官网网址淩ocketmanB次元官网网址� (best picture, comedy or musical; best actor for Taron Egerton); and the madcap Nazi Germany coming-of-age tale B次元官网网址淛ojo RabbitB次元官网网址� (best picture, comedy or musical; best actor for its young star, Roman Griffin Davis).
The films vying for best animated feature are: B次元官网网址淔rozen 2B次元官网网址�; B次元官网网址淗ow to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden WorldB次元官网网址�; B次元官网网址淭he Lion KingB次元官网网址�; B次元官网网址淢issing LinkB次元官网网址�; B次元官网网址淭oy Story 4.B次元官网网址�
Dean DeBlois of Aylmer, Que., wrote and directed B次元官网网址淗ow to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World,B次元官网网址� which is the final instalment in the Oscar-nominated animated film trilogy. Montreal-raised actor Jay Baruchel voices the lead character, a young Viking named Hiccup.
The nominees for best foreign language film are: B次元官网网址淭he Farewell,B次元官网网址� which also earned a best actress earned for Awkwafina; Pedro AlmodovarB次元官网网址檚 B次元官网网址淧ain and Glory,B次元官网网址� for which Antonio Banderas was also nominated for best actor; BongB次元官网网址檚 B次元官网网址淧arasiteB次元官网网址�; Ladj LyB次元官网网址檚 French police thriller B次元官网网址淟es MiserablesB次元官网网址�; and Celine SciammaB次元官网网址檚 period romance B次元官网网址淧ortrait of a Lady on Fire.B次元官网网址�
The Globes, with 87 voting members, differ wildly from the Academy Awards, which are decided by 9,000 industry professionals. But the press associationB次元官网网址檚 choices sometimes line up with the academyB次元官网网址檚, like last year when B次元官网网址淕reen BookB次元官网网址� (entered as a comedy at the Globes) triumphed at both.
This year could give the Globes slightly more sway because the awards season is especially truncated. The Academy Awards are being held several weeks early, on Feb. 9, giving Oscar campaigns less time to find momentum.
But several possible Academy Awards favourites werenB次元官网网址檛 even eligible in the GlobesB次元官网网址� top categories. Even though the press association is a group of foreign journalists based in Los Angeles, they donB次元官网网址檛 nominate international films for best drama or best comedy/musical. That ruled out BongB次元官网网址檚 social satire B次元官网网址淧arasiteB次元官网网址� (which the Los Angeles Film Critics Association voted the yearB次元官网网址檚 best on Sunday) and Lulu WangB次元官网网址檚 family drama B次元官网网址淭he Farewell,B次元官网网址� both of which are expected to be in the Oscar mix.
In the early going, Netflix has dominated awards season. B次元官网网址淭he IrishmanB次元官网网址� last week won best film from the New York Film Critics Circle and the National Board of Review. B次元官网网址淢arriage StoryB次元官网网址� virtually swept the IFP Gotham Awards.
Ricky Gervais will host the Globes, broadcast on NBC, for the fifth time on January 5. Tom Hanks will receive the Cecil B. DeMille Award. The Carol Burnett Award will go to Ellen DeGeneres.
