‘The Crown’, ‘Mank’ leads nominations at Golden Globes

The Herman Mankiewicz biopic Mank and the royal drama The Crown lead nominations at the 78th Golden Globe Awards, with both receiving six nods apiece. The award ceremony will be held virtually on February 28 in two cities, New York and Los Angeles.

Among highlights is late star Chadwick Boseman’s nomination in the Best Actor category. Boseman, who shot to global fame playing Black Panther, has been nominated posthumously for his role in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, his final film.

Another highlight this year, on the film front, is a record three female directors being nominated — Chloe Zhao (Nomadland), Regina King (One Night In Miami) and Emerald Fennell (Promising Young Woman) are in the race to pick the top award.

In the overall count, Aaron Sorkin’s film The Trial Of The Chicago 7 and the comedy series Schitt’s Creek follow The Crown and Mank, with five nominations each.

The nominees for the upcoming edition were announced by Sarah Jessica Parker and Taraji P Henson on Wednesday, in which it was revealed that Sacha Baron Cohen, Anya Taylor-Joy and Olivia Colman are leading the actor and actress nominations, with all of them receiving two nods each, reports variety.com.

Another thing that the nominations highlighted was the gradual shift of Hollywood from traditional studios and cable networks to the streaming space. Global streaming giant Netflix is dominating the pack with a staggering 42 nominations across film and television categories, which includes nods for The Trial Of The Chicago 7, The Queen’s Gambit and The Crown.

Amazon Studios also has 10 nominations, including nods for Borat Subsequent Moviefilm and its Small Axe anthology series. Hulu gets 10 nods as well, which included nominations for Palm Springs and Ramy.

Mank, a black-and-white ode to old Hollywood, which was released by Netflix, got six nominations, which includes nods for Best Drama, as well as for director David Fincher and for Gary Oldman’s performance as Citizen Kane screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz.

The Crown, which leads the television category with six nominations, got mentions in Best TV drama, as well as for the performances of several of its cast members. Olivia Colman who plays the monarch, and Emma Corrin, who essays the role of Princess Diana, picked up nominations.
