GOLDEN GLOBES NOMINATIONS: THE FATHER

4th Feb, 2021

Deadline by Patrick Hipes

Nominations for the 78th annual Golden Globe Awards were revealed Wednesday morning as the Hollywood Foreign Press Association set its noms for the best in film and TV. In a year of theatrical upheaval thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, streaming giant Netflix dominated both fields with a total of 44 nominations, with David Fincher’s Mank and Aaron Sorkin’s The Trial of the Chicago 7 leading the way in movies and The Crown and Ozark among the leading nom-getters in TV.

Mank and The Crown scored the most noms overall with six, pacing their respective marquee best drama categories.

On the film side that included Chicago 7, Sony Classics’ The Father, Searchlight’s Nomadland, and Focus Features’ Promising Young Woman. That translated into a strong showing in the Directing race for female helmers, with Nomadland‘s Chloe Zhao, Promising Young Woman‘s Emerald Fennell and One Night In Miami‘s Regina King joining Fincher and Sorkin scoring noms; the latter pic missed out on Best Picture.

On the TV side the Drama Series race features The Crown and fellow Netflix titles Ozark and Rached alongside Disney+’s The Mandalorian and HBO’s Lovecraft Country. Netflix had 20 total noms in TV, with HBO a distant second with seven.

Among the highlights of the morning were a posthumous nom for Chadwick Boseman for this role in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, which also saw Viola Davis nominated though it missed out on a Best Picture mention. Another posthumous nom went to Jack Fincher, David Fincher’s father who had penned Mank. Sacha Baron Cohen landed multiple nominations for his Borat Subsequent Moviefilm (noms for the Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy along with individual mentions for he and Maria Bakalova) and his role in Chicago 7. Anya Taylor-Joy and Olivia Colman also had multiple noms this morning.

With Borat, Amazon Studios was second overall in film noms with seven, followed by Focus Features, Searchlight Pictures, Sony Pictures Classics and Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures with five apiece.

Another notable: In TV, Emmy sweeper Schitt’s Creek pulled off the same noms for the Globes – Best Comedy along with acting nods for Catherine O’Hara, Eugene Levy, Daniel Levy and Annie Murphy.

Also making noise today is Hamilton from Disney+, with the filmed version of the Broadway smash scoring a Best Picture – Musical or Comedy nom along with a Best Actor shout-out for Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Like the rest of the award-show staples this year, the pandemic has forced shifts to both timelines and eligibility rules. The 78th annual Golden Globes ceremony on NBC is usually in January, but with the Oscars’ movie to April 25 this years Globes are set for February 28 (the old Oscars date). Tina Fey and Amy Poehler return to host and will do so separately in a ceremony hosted live in New York (by Fey) and in Los Angeles (by Poehler).
