Rise and shine, Meryl Streep (OK, and the rest of Hollywood, too), because awards season is officially here.
After many delays and COVID-related hiccups, the Golden Globes will air later this month as a virtual event. But first, it’s time for the nominations, which were announced early Wednesday morning by Taraji P. Henson and Sarah Jessica Parker.
While many major studio films weren’t up for awards, as the pandemic continues to upend the entertainment industry and shatter traditional eligibility windows, offerings from streaming services dominated the nominations. Netflix’s “Mank,” a black-and-white biopic based on a script written by director David Fincher’s late father, led the pack with six nods. In the Best Motion Picture Drama category, it will compete against “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” which picked up five more nominations for the streaming giant, Chloé Zhao’s “Nomadland,” the revenge thriller “Promising Young Woman” from Emerald Fennell, and Florian Zeller’s drama “The Father” starring Anthony Hopkins.
Meanwhile, Netflix’s star-studded adaptation of “The Prom,” the film recording of Broadway’s “Hamilton” on Disney+, as well as Hulu’s “Palm Springs,” Amazon’s “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm” and Sia’s “Music” will face off in the comedy/musical categories.
As for TV, it’s the newbies’ time to shine. Since past winners and reliable heavyweights like “Succession,” “Fleabag,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” and “The Morning Show” are out of contention, first-season wonders like “Ted Lasso,” “Ratched,” “Emily in Paris,” “The Great” “Perry Mason,” “Lovecraft Country” and “The Flight Attendant” all received nods. But those series will still have to beat out favorites like “Ozark,” which also picked up nominations for leads Jason Bateman and Laura Linney, “Schitt’s Creek,” fresh off its historic Emmys sweep, and the much buzzed-about fourth season of “The Crown” for a shot at Globes glory.
Hosted once again by Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, the 78th annual ceremony will honor the best in film and television in a year like no other, so plan for the worst, prepare for living room acceptance speeches, and expect plenty of chaos.
Voted on by the 90 journalists who make up the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the Globes will be especially unpredictable this year, but we do know that the ceremony will honor legendary TV producer Norman Lear with the Carol Burnett Award, as well as actress and activist Jane Fonda with the Cecil B. DeMille Award.
The 78th annual Golden Globe Awards will air Sunday, Feb. 28, on NBC at 8 p.m. ET.
