The Golden Globe race is under way as nominations rolled out
Monday morning and award-season predictions turned into actual
nods.
Observers are watching to see how works from streaming services
like Netflix and Amazon hold up against the traditional studios in
the movie categories. Martin Scorsese's "The Irishman" and Noah
Baumbach's "Marriage Story" which were both released by Netflix,
are expected to garner several nominations.
On the TV side, observers will be watching to see how the
Hollywood Foreign Press Association treats Apple TV's "The Morning
Show," which was the tech company's first foray into series when it
launched its streaming service in November.
The 77th Golden Globes ceremony will be held Jan. 5 in Beverly
Hills, Calif., and will air on NBC. Tom Hanks will collect the
Cecil B. DeMille Award for his career in film. For her achievements
in television, Ellen DeGeneres will receive the second Carol
Burnett Award after its namesake got the first one last year.
Ricky Gervais returns to host the award show for the fifth time.
The controversy-courting comic has said that he isn't required to
submit a script before the show. As it has in years past, the
Hollywood Foreign Press Association played up the risk factor. In a
recent promo, Mr. Gervais sprays the cameraman with champagne as a
voiceover reminds viewers that "as usual, you have no idea what
he's going to do."
