2020 Golden Globe nominations
2020 Golden Globes: Joker, The Irishman, and Game of Thrones

    This morning, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association revealed the nominees for the 2020 Golden Globes. Now in its 77th year, the annual awards ceremony recognizes excellence in film and television, both domestic and foreign.

    For film, Netflix came out big with both Marriage Story and The Irishman walking away with the most nominations. Noah Baumbach’s dramedy leads the pack with six nominations and Martin Scorsese’s star-studded de-aging drama got five.

    Not only that, for the first time Netflix has secured nominations in the Best Film categories. The Irishman, Marriage Story, and Fernando Meirelles’ biographical drama The Two Popes are all in consideration in the drama category, while Eddie Murphy’s Dolemite is My Name earned a nod in the comedy or musical category.

    Never one to be outshined, Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood also came out swinging. The Leonard DiCaprio and Brad Pitt-starring blockbuster drove off with five nominations, including nominations for both stars. Tarantino himself received nods for Best Director and Best Screenplay.

    Speaking of the category for Best Director, not one woman was nominated. To date, only five women have been recognized for direction and only one has won (Barbra Streisand in 1984 for Yentl). Instead, this year’s nominations include Tarantino, Scorsese, Todd Phillips (Joker), Sam Mendes (1917), and Bong Joon Ho (Parasite).

    Of course, the big story for all comic book fans will be Phillips’ Joker, as it has been all year. The Batman spinoff standalone waltzed away with four nominations, including Best Director for Phillips and Best Actor for Joaquin Phoenix. On the flip side, despite the best efforts of Disney, Avengers: Endgame, was snubbed of any nominations.

    On the television front, Netflix did quite well, too, with four nominations for both The Crown and Unbelievable. (The Kominsky Method curiously came in strong once again). However, HBO also staked claim with Succession, Chernobyl, Barry, and Big Little Lies.

    Coming off a critically divisive final season, though, Game of Thrones is nearly non-existent this year, landing only a single nomination: Kit Harington for Best Actor in a Drama. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Ouch.

    Other notable snubs? Veep, one of the most decorated shows in television history, did not receive one nomination for its final season. Mahershala Ali failed to receive consideration for his standout performance in True Detective Season 3. The same can be said for Jeremy Strong of HBO’s Succession and Netflix’s much-hyped Breaking Bad movie, El Camino.
