It was an unprecedented year in Hollywood, to say the least. Despite the on-going COVID-19 pandemic that ravaged the world, Tinseltown still managed to give us little glimmers of hope to distract us from the despair. New protocols on set, new ways to stream, and delays - oh, the delays - plenty of incredible content was produced, and here are the nominees.


Netflix leads the way this year with an astounding 42 total nominations for The Crown, Ratched, The Prom, Ozark, the engrossing The Trial of the Chicago 7, David Fincher's Mank, the breakout smash hit The Queen's Gambit.


The streaming service war is definitely heating up. Disney+ and HBO Max received their first-ever nominations from The Hollywood Foreign Press this year. Disney touts the smash hit Star Wars show The Mandalorian as well as the animated Soul with Pixar. HBO's The Flight Attendant is up for Best Television Series in the Musical or Comedy category and star Kaley Cuoco got the nod for Best Actress.


In a monumental swing, three women are nominated for Best Director this year. Regina King (One Night In Miami), Chloe Zhao (Nomadland), and Emerald Fennell (Promising Young Woman) could potentially take home the hardware. Nomadland and Promising Young Woman are also up for Best Motion Picture in the Drama category.


The hit comedy Schitt's Creek is poised to once again dominate the Television awards with nominations in every category. Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara are up for Best Actor and Actress, while Daniel Levy and Annie Murphy got nods for Best Supporting Actor and Actress. The show itself is up for Best Television Series in the Musical or Comedy category.


Actor Chadwick Boseman has received a Best Actor nomination posthumously for his role in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. Boseman passed away last August after a long battle with colon cancer. During his career, he garnered two MTV Movie Awards for Best Hero and Best Performance in a Movie and the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Actor in a Motion Picture for his performance as Black Panther. He has yet to capture a Golden Globe.


The Golden Globes will take place on Sunday, February, 28 on NBC.


Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are set to host the show for the fourth time.
