History was made Wednesday during the unveiling of the 2021 Golden Globe nominees. The Hollywood Foreign Press has honored three female directors, the first time that more than one woman has been nominated in the best director category in any one year.
Regina King was nominated for “One Night in Miami,” Chloe Zhao for “Nomadland” and Emerald Fennell for “Promising Young Woman.” David Fincher was also nominated for directing “Mank” and Aaron Sorkin for “The Trial of the Chicago 7.”
“Mank,” a film centered around “Citizen Kane” co-writer Herman Mankiewicz, landed six nominations, the most of any film this year. In addition to Fincher’s director nod, it secured nominations for best film, drama; best actor for Gary Oldman and best supporting actress for Amanda Seyfried; best score. Jack Fincher, the director’s father who wrote the script before dying in 2003, also was nominated for best screenplay.
The film helped Netflix snag the most nominations, with 42. Twenty of those nods came from television shows like “The Queen’s Gambit,” “Ozark,” “The Crown” and “”Unorthodox.” The rest came from films like “Mank,” and “The Trial of the Chicago 7.”
Additionally, Chadwick Boseman, who unexpectedly died last August after a four-year battle with colon cancer, was posthumously nominated for a Golden Globe for his work in “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.”
This year’s nominees are a mix of old favorites and new obsessions, highlighting the most popular TV programs and films audiences have been watching from home during the ongoing global pandemic.
“Schitt’s Creek,” which swept the Emmy Awards in 2020, tallied five nominations including four nods in acting categories and one for best comedy series.
Disney+ scored a best drama series nod for “The Mandalorian.”
Actresses Sarah Jessica Parker and Taraji P. Henson helped announce the nominees for the 78th annual show. The awards ceremony will take place on Feb. 28 and will air on NBC.
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, veteran hosts of the Globes, will return to emcee the event. The pair will be broadcasting in different locations due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Fey will be live from New York City’s Rainbow Room and Poehler from the Beverly Hilton.
The Hollywood Foreign Press had previously announced that Jane Fonda will receive the Cecil B. DeMille Award and Norman Lear will be honored with the Carol Burnett award.
