2019 was a big year for film and television, and as the year comes to a close, various awards ceremonies are preparing lists. The 2020 Golden Globes, scheduled to go live on January 5, are nearly upon us, and the nominees are officially in. Here's a look at what did--and didn't--get the nod from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

Todd Phillips' psychological thriller Joker is up for quite a few awards, including competing against Martin Scorsese's The Irishman--which hit Netflix on November 27--for the Best Drama Motion Picture Award. Joker is also nominated for Best Director (Phillips), Best Actor (Joaquin Phoenix), and Best Original Score.
