MOVIES
The Golden Globes 2020 nominations kick off awards season as the first major player to indicate who was the best of 2019. This year, many who were predicted nominees were, in fact, nominated. Not surprisingly, top honors went to Netflix for Martin Scorsese’ s The Irishman. The nominations also decorated, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. The last less than shocking move was Joaquin Phoenix for Joker. The movie was also included for Best Picture, Drama. Some surprises on the movie side included Jennifer Lopez for Hustlers and major nominations for Eddie Murphy’s Netflix film, Dolemite is my Name which didn’t enter many conversations when it was released this fall.
Snubs, as every year shows, goes to the women of Hollywood. Excluded from the list were the female directors of Little Women and A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, directed by Greta Gerwig and Marielle Heller, respectively. The female produced and female-focused film, Bombshell, did not draw as many nominations as excepted. Although this year has many strong contenders, the women of this industry still find themselves less than celebrated. The other major snub goes to Avengers: Endgame which found itself in competition with Martin Scorsese to even qualify as “cinema” let alone a bid for Best Picture. Although, the film did become the highest-grossing film, ever, it should see a little more love than a total shut out – just saying.

TELEVISION
The Golden Globes 2020 Nominations for television wrap up the TV season. The Emmys of 2019 saw major wins for Fleabag and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, both from Amazon. Tony Shalhoub and Alex Borstein took home awards for supporting actor/actress at the Emmys for Maisel. Yet the Globes group all supporting categories together, so both were excluded. Fleabag did manage to be more successful with nominations and is in competition with a similar crowd as at the Emmys. The Crown’s latest cast created enough buzz since the season’s November release to be included. Olivia Colman is the reigning Academy Awards Best Actress winner, so her inclusion in the TV category for an entirely different royal role shows her fantastic versatility.
The biggest problem with any TV awards these days is that so many great shows are overlooked as there are so many. This is Us, When They See Us, and Watchmen were all excluded. A notable absentee from nominations is the final season of Game of Thrones, which only received one nomination for the actor, Kit Harrington. Again, the Emmys seemed to love everything GOT this year, yet the Golden Globes did not share in the enthusiasm. With so very much TV to watch the list feels very limited and completely shuts out broadcast television series. This shift towards favoring premium cable and streaming puts broadcast on its heels again to create shows that match the quality of these new giants.
