78th Annual Golden Globe Awards: Full List Of Nominees

Full list of nominees for the 78th annual Golden Globe Awards broadcasting live on Sunday, February 28, 2021.

This Wednesday morning, the 78th annual Golden Globe Awards nominations were revealed. Previous Golden Globe winners, Sarah Jessica Parker and Taraji P. Henson, hosted the announcement of nominees virtually on NBC’s Today.

Netflix dominated the list with Mank and The Crown leading the nominations for film and TV, respectively. Both productions earned six nominations. For film, the other top contenders are The Trial of the Chicago 7 (Netflix) with five nominations, and The Father, Nomadland and Promising Young Woman with four apiece.

Behind The Crown, the other top TV contenders are Schitt’s Creek with five nominations, followed by Ozark and The Undoing with four each, and The Great with three noms. Ted Lasso and The Queen’s Gambit both earned two nominations while The Mandalorian was chosen to compete for Best Television Series, Drama.

There were some surprises on Wednesday morning, including the incorporation of Jared Leto into the Best Supporting Actor, Motion Picture category for his performance in The Little Things, as well as Tahar Rahim‘s nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama for The Mauritanian. Two other big surprises were James Corden’s (The Prom) nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy and Emerald Fennell’s (Promising Young Woman) nod for Best Director, Motion Picture. It must be noted that the biggest snub of the Globes was Spike Lee’s Da 5 Bloods which was not considered for any award despite it being a top contender in other ceremonies.

After a hectic year, not only for the entertainment industry, but for the entire world, the Golden Globes will be held on Sunday, February 28, at 5 p.m. PT on NBC. Nonetheless, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there will be some major changes for this year’s ceremony. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will host the show virtually. All nominees and guests will be tuning in from around the world, similar to the format from the Emmy’s last year.
