If the 2020 Golden Globe Awards nominations proved anything, it’s that the so-called streaming* wars are paying off. On Monday, Netflix made history as the first distributor to lead both the film and television nominations at the Golden Globes, which honors achievements as chosen by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. The 17 film nominations for Netflix come largely from “Marriage Story” and “The Irishman,” both of which are nominated for best motion picture. Many of the films’ stars, including Scarlett Johansson and Laura Dern for “Marriage Story,” and Joe Pesci and Al Pacino for “The Irishman,” all scored nominations as well. The streaming juggernaut earned another 17 nominations for television, the bulk of which come from “The Crown” and “Unbelievable.” Hulu, Amazon Prime and Apple TV+ enjoyed their fair share of nods as well, with 30 total going to streaming services, Netflix included.
