Netflix Has Most Golden Globe Nominations For Second Year In A Row

To call 2020 an interesting and adapting year for Hollywood and the major studios would be an understatement. Further proof of how things are evolving in entertainment came this morning with the 78th Golden Globe nominations.

Netflix officially has gone back-to-back with most nominations of any studio. Last year it was 17 in the motion picture category, this year they topped themselves with 22. Their Herman J. Mankiewicz biopic Mank leads the category with six nominations, second only to themselves with The Trial of The Chicago 7 with five.

They're also leading the television nominations with 20, with their historical hit The Crown having six nominations, including Best Drama, with PopTV's Schitt's Creek coming in with five. Freshman series like Lovecraft Country, Ted Lasso, and Ratched earned a couple of nominations as well. Disney+'s mega-hit The Mandolarian also earned a single nomination for Best Drama. Even NBC's streaming service Peacock found its first nomination with Zoey's Extravaggent Playlist.

On a bittersweet note, one of Netflix's nominations came from Chadwick Boseman who earned a posthumous Best Actor nod for Ma Rainey's Black Bottom--his very first Golden Globe nomination. Combined with television and movies, Netflix has 42 nominations. You'll find a list of some of Netflix's top nominated content below:
