The 2020 Golden Globes nominations were announced Monday, with Netflix earning a whopping 17 nods for titles including The Irishman, Marriage Story, Two Popes, Unbelievable, The Politician, and The Crown. Marriage Story, starring Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver, leads the entire cinematic field with six nominations.
Following behind is HBO with 15 nominations for its series including Chernobyl, Succession, and Barry — the latter two which The Beat named among the greatest TV shows of the 2010s. Meanwhile, Todd Phillips‘ controversy-laden Joker nabbed four nominations, Elton John biopic Rocketman received three, and Disney collected five for Frozen 2, The Lion King, and Toy Story 4.
There are also, of course, noticeable snubs — namely the fact that Ava DuVernay‘s four-part Netflix series When They See Us, which chronicled the story of the wrongly-accused Central Park Five, received zero nominations.
In fact, there is a total lack of women in the Best Director category, even though Greta Gerwig‘s Little Women received two other nominations, and Marielle Heller (A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood), Lulu Wang (The Farewell), and Lorene Scafaria (Hustlers) all received critical praise this year, with Jennifer Lopez receiving a nomination for her performance in the latter. Across its 77-year history, women have only been nominated in the Best Director category seven times.
Although the Golden Globes were once thought to be indicators of who would win the race to the Academy Awards, in recent years, there’s been less correlation between winners of these highly coveted trophies. Still, the 2020 Golden Globes nominations do point to the growing power of streaming, especially as Netflix ups its game by showing original movies in theaters across the country.
The 2020 Golden Globes will air January 5, 2020, starting at 6 p.m. ET on NBC. See the full list of nominations below.
