“Mank,” David Fincher’s portrait of Old Hollywood, led the pack of Golden Globes nominees announced Wednesday morning, picking up six nods.
The other top contenders in the film categories include Aaron Sorkin’s “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” Chloe Zhao’s “Nomadland,” Emerald Fennell’s “Promising Young Woman” and Regina King’s “One Night in Miami.”
The Golden Globes mark the beginning of a Hollywood awards season that has been upended by the coronavirus pandemic, forcing producers to repeatedly postpone ceremonies and extend the window of eligibility for film contenders.
The slate of nominations was announced virtually at 8:35 a.m. ET by Sarah Jessica Parker and Taraji P. Henson. The actors presented contenders for 12 marquee categories on NBC’s “TODAY” show, with the full list of nominees announced live on E! digital channels and the official website for the Globes.
The Globes, unlike the Oscars, also recognizes achievement in television. The nominees for best drama series are “The Crown,” “Lovecraft Country,” “The Mandalorian,” “Ozark” and “Ratched.” The nominees for best comedy series are “Schitt’s Creek,” “Ted Lasso,” “The Great,” “The Flight Attendant,” and “Emily in Paris.”
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the organization of roughly 90 journalists that puts on the Globes, announced Tuesday that the ceremony will be held bicoastally for the first time: Tina Fey will host from the Rainbow Room in New York and Amy Poehler will host from the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California.
Fey and Poehler previously co-hosted the Globes in 2013, 2014 and 2015.
The telecast, which was postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic and to adjust to the delayed timetable for the Academy Awards, is scheduled to air Feb. 28 on NBC. The Oscars are set for April 25.
