In what can only be described as a strange year for both TV and movies, each impacted by COVID-19, we’re finally embarking on awards season.
First up: the Golden Globes, which are usually seen as the more “out-there” awards, as they’re often bestowed on outliers or unpredictable winners.
On Wednesday morning, the nominees for the 78th annual Golden Globes were announced by presenters Sarah Jessica Parker and Taraji P. Henson. They’ll be handed out on Feb. 28 in a ceremony hosted by comedic duo Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
David Fincher’s Mank topped this year’s Golden Globe nominations with six nods, while Netflix dominated Wednesday’s announcement thanks to both its movies and TV series.
Canadian series Schitt’s Creek received five nominations after it swept the Emmy Awards last year.
On Tuesday, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association said the Globes — typically a bubbly dinner gathering with flowing drinks — will be held bi-coastally for the first time. Fey will host live from New York’s Rainbow Room and Poehler will host from the awards’ normal home, the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif. It’s expected that nominees will appear from locations around the world.
