With the strange oddities that have occurred in 2020 for the film industry, Award season still is set to be on game despite the many adjustments being made to accommodate it in a post Covid world. Now, the Award season is going on in full throttle with the recent announcement from the Hollywood Foreign Press. As the 78th Annual Golden Globe Nominees for 2021 have been announced.
While not a very competitive year, there still were some stand out nominees in the bunch for film, with a higher number of streaming films getting recognition. Particularly Netflix, which have received 42 nominations at the Globe for both series and film, including Mank, and The Queen’s Gambit. While Amazon and Hulu also received 10 nods, including Borat Subsequent Movie Film for Amazon and Palm Springs for Hulu. Though possibly one of the biggest contributions to this year’s Globes is the fact that three female directors have been nominated for Best Director. This includes Emerald Fennell for Promising Young Woman, Regina King for One Night in Miami and Chloe Zhao for Nomadland. All of them have been nominated asides Aaron Sorkin and David Fincher, and definitely a progressive move considering how often the Globes have been criticized for exclusion of female directors in the past.
It is looking to be a fairly interesting year though at the very least a welcoming one with many nominations being very deserving. While there are still some arguing against what is and is not nominated this year, it still will a fascinating watch, especially considering this will help get a better understanding on what might be the big Oscar movie of 2020. The ceremony will premiere on February 28th 2021 on NBC and will be hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler
