Marriage Story is leading this year’s Golden Globes nominations, as Netflix dominates the awards race.

The streaming giant launched back in 2010, going on to produce original content in 2012. Now, less than a decade later, Netflix is dominating at the Golden Globes, going from six nods in 2014 to a whopping 34 for the 2020 race – 17 for films and 17 for TV.

Noah Baumbach’s Marriage Story is leading Netflix’s charge, with six nominations in total, including Best Motion Picture (Drama), Best Actress (Drama) and Best Actor (Drama). The Irishman follows close behind with five nominations, including Best Motion Picture (Drama) and Best Director for Martin Scorsese – tied with Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

Netflix’s The Crown and Unbelievable also lead the TV nominations, on four nods apiece, alongside HBO’s Chernobyl.

The VOD service’s success underscores the shifting dynamic in the entertainment world, with Hulu’s Catch-22 (airing on Channel 4 in the UK) and Amazon’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel also scoring well – and Apple TV+, the newly launched streaming platform, has already scored its first nods with three nominations in total – including Best Actress (Drama) for both Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon and Best TV Series (Drama).

The Crown and The Morning show will compete for the Drama crown with HBO’s Big Little Lies and Succession, as well as BBC’s Killing Eve, while Amazon’s Mrs. Maisel will compete for the Comedy prize with Netflix’s The Kominsky Method, HBO’s Barry, BBC’s Fleabag and Netflix’s The Politician.

The rapid advance of digital platforms, though, also highlights how the entertainment industry hasn’t advanced in other ways, with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association failing to nominate any female filmmakers for Best Director, snubbing Greta Gerwig’s Little Women and Lulu Wang’s The Farewell. Ava DuVernay’s When They See Us, in the TV field, has also been snubbed.

But with Joaquin Phoenix and Joker doing surprisingly well in the awards race, Eddie Murphy for Dolemite Is My Name up against Taron Egerton in Rocketman, Emma Thompson in Late Night up against Awkwafina in The Farewell and Charlize Theron in Bombshell up against Renee Zellwegger for Judy, not to mention Russian Doll’s Natasha Lyonne up against Fleabag’s Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Mrs. Maisel’s Rachel Brosnahan and Dead to Me’s Christina Applegate, the night is guaranteed to be a talked-about affair.

The awards will be handed out on 5th January 2020, with Ricky Gervais hosting for the fifth time.
