Golden Globe 2020 Nominations: ‘The Irishman’ & ‘The Joker’ Lead [Full Nominees List]

The 77th Golden Globe Awards are set to air live from the Beverly Hilton Hotel on January 5, with host Ricky Gervais hosting for the third time. The nominations have been announced and its time for the speculation to begin.

Leading the charge in the movie categories with six nominations is Netflix’s Marriage Story, starring Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver. Directed by Noah Baumbach, the story takes an incisive and compassionate look at a marriage breaking up and how a family fights to stay together.

In the television category, Chernobyl, The Crown and Unbelievable are tied with four nominations each. The Crown stands in the Drama Series category next to the likes of hit shows like Big Little Lies and Succession, as well as the new and explosive hit The Morning Show.

For Miniseries or Television Film, Chernobyl and Unbelievable with face off against Catch-22 and Fosse/Verdon. Chernobyl chronicles the events of the 1986 worst man-made catastrophe at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the Soviet Union. Unbelievable follows the true story of a teenager accused of lying about having been raped, while two female detectives follow a string of serial rapes on their path to the truth. Starring Toni Collett and Merritt Wever as the fearless detectives, the emotional journey of Unbelievable has proved to be a must-see.

Other nods go out to Martin Scorsese‘s The Irishman which earned five nominations, including two in the best supporting actor category for Al Pacino, who portrays American labor union leader Jimmy Hoffa, and Joe Pesci, who stars as mob boss Russell Bufalino.

The Joker, directed by Todd Philips and starring Joaquin Phoenix, scored four nominations. “The Joker” proved to be a box office smash, grossing more than $1 billion worldwide.

Actor and filmmaker Tom Hanks is set to receive the Cecil B. DeMille Award, awarded for “outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment”. The star of legendary films such as Forrest Gump and Saving Private Ryan has been portrayed in both dramas and comedies and will join other recipients such as Jeff Bridges, Oprah Winfrey and Meryl Streep.
