Netflix is the runaway leader for the most nominations — 34 — at the 2020 Golden Globes, which were announced Monday in the US. Its stellar Scarlett Johansson-starrer divorce drama Marriage Story is the leader on the film end with six nominations, followed by Martin Scorsese's three-and-a-half-hour mob epic The Irishman, and Quentin Tarantino's nostalgic golden era Los Angeles drama Once Upon a Time in Hollywood tied with five apiece. On the TV side of things, the nuclear saga miniseries Chernobyl, British royal drama The Crown, and the sexual assault investigation miniseries Unbelievable are tied for most nominations with four apiece. Meanwhile, Apple TV+ got its first (three) nominations.
The 2020 Golden Globes are slated to take place January 5 in Beverly Hills, California. In India, they will be broadcast live starting 7:30am on January 6 on Colors Infinity, Comedy Central, and Vh1 India, with a repeat telecast at 9pm. The Golden Globes are generally considered as a precursor to the Oscars, which close out nominee selection two days after on January 7. But unlike the Oscars, the Golden Globes celebrate both film and TV, but do not feature any technical awards such as cinematography or editing. Moreover, the Golden Globes winners are decided by only the 90-something members of its organising body HFPA, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
As always, many feel that deserving nominees have been snubbed. While Saoirse Ronan was nominated for best actress for Little Women, her director Greta Gerwig failed to land a nomination alongside the likes of Scorsese and Tarantino. Veep and its serial Emmy-winner lead actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus were left out of their categories in the TV department. And while both Al Pacino and Joe Pesci scored nominations for The Irishman, there was no love for Robert De Niro. Game of Thrones, which won for best TV show at the Emmys in September, failed to even land a nomination in that category at the 2020 Golden Globes, though many might say that's deserved.
