Golden Globes Nominations 2020: ‘Joker,’ ‘Irishman’ for Best Picture, ‘Succession,’ and More
Zack Sharf
The 77th Golden Globe Awards are set to pit “Joker” against “The Irishman,” “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” against “Knives Out,” and Sam Mendes against Bong Joon Ho. This year’s nominations (included below) are topped by Netflix’s “Marriage Story,” from director Noah Baumbach. The divorce drama starring Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson topped all films this year with six Golden Globe nominations. Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman” and Quentin Tarantino’s “Hollywood” earned five nominations each, followed by “Joker” and “The Two Popes” with three nominations each.
On the television side, Apple will compete for the Best Drama Series Golden Globe for the first with “The Morning Show,” which also earned nominations in the Best Actress in a Drama series category for both Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston. Awards darlings “Succession,” “Killing Eve,” “Big Little Lies,” and “The Crown” round out the category. Comedy contenders include Netflix’s “The Kominsky Method,” “Barry,” “The Politician,” and Emmy favorites “Fleabag” and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.”
The Golden Globes are decided upon by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which is made up of 90 journalists from around the world. None of the HFPA members are Academy voters, so there is no overlap between the voting bodies of the Golden Globes and the Oscars. However, the Globes play an important role each awards season in boosting the visibility of Oscar contenders. Last year’s Golden Globe winner for Best Motion Picture Musical or Comedy was “Green Book,” the eventual Oscar winner for Best Picture. The four acting Oscar winners Rami Malek, Olivia Colman, Mahershala Ali, and Regina King all won Globes first.
The 2020 Golden Globes will be hosted by Ricky Gervais. The awards ceremony takes place January 5, 2020. The categories for the 2020 Golden Globes are listed below.
