2020 was a really bad year for movies. It’s very possible a good chunk of the country went the entire year without seeing a film in theaters, and studios released drastically fewer movies than they normally did. However, movies were released, and some of them were really good and deserve to get an award during a drunken dinner put on by the Hollywood Foreign Press (though this year probably without the drunk dinner). And so the Golden Globes have released their nominations for 2020 film and TV.
The leader this year by a long shot is Netflix. With 42 nominations — many coming from Mank, The Queen’s Gambit, and The Crown — its large number of noms shouldn’t really be a surprise; a year with no theaters open didn’t set it back at all and probably benefited its case. It’s easy to win when everyone else is scrambling and you’re carrying on as usual. Netflix did, of course, also release some really good movies and shows, so that helps. In fact, streamers basically took over the Golden Globes this year with Amazon and Hulu coming in second with 10 nominations each. It was also a good year for female directors, with a record three women directors getting nominated in the Best Director category.
There are a few surprises in there as well, including the fact that Spike Lee’s acclaimed Da Five Bloods received no nominations and Jared Leto received a Best Supporting Actor nomination for his turn in The Little Things, which has been mostly critically panned. On the TV side of things, it will hopefully be Schitt’s Creek‘s turn to get the recognition it deserves, and it’s nice to see The Mandalorian on there for Best Drama.
Check out the full Golden Globe nominations below. The ceremony will air live on Feb. 28 at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT on NBC. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are hosting.
