 "Marriage Story" scored six nods, including best drama and for
actors Adam Driver, Scarlett Johansson and Laura Dern. It was
followed by Martin Scorsese's epic gangster movie "The
Irishman," and Quentin Tarantino's love letter to Hollywood
"Once Upon A Time in Hollywood," with five apiece.
De Niro, the star of "The Irishman," was left out of the best
actor race, although his co-stars Al Pacino and Joe Pesci won
nods for their supporting roles and Scorsese will compete for
best director.
It means so much to all of us to me, Bob, Joe, Al, and the
whole team to be recognized with these nominations," Scorsese
said in a statement.
The best movie drama category was rounded out with director Same
Mendes' immersive First World War drama "1917" from Universal
Pictures <CMCSA.O>, terrifying comic book villain "Joker" from
Warner Bros <T.N> and papal story "The Two Popes."
The films nominated for best comedy or musical were Eddie
Murphy's comeback "Dolemite is My Name," Nazi-era satire "Jojo
Rabbit," murder mystery "Knives Out," "Once Upon a Time in
Hollywood" and Elton John biopic "Rocketman."
Apple Inc's <AAPL.O> streaming service landed its first major
award nominations for "The Morning Show," along with its stars
Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon.
Yet in the movie race, stories about and by women like including
"Harriet," "Little Women," "Bombshell" and "Hustlers" were
omitted from the major races although some of their stars,
including Saoirse Ronan, Jennifer Lopez, Charlize Theron and
Cynthia Erivo won acting nods.

The director field was an all male affair dominated by veterans
Tarantino, Scorsese, Mendes, Todd Phillips for "Joker" and South
Korea's Bong Joon-Ho for social satire "Parasite."
Netflix dominated the nominations across both television and
movies, scoring a leading 17 nods in movie fields and 17 in
television.
HBO's medieval fantasy "Game of Thrones" failed to make it into
the best TV drama series race, and upcoming movie musical "Cats"
scored just one nod, for Taylor Swift and Andrew Lloyd Webber's
original song "Beautiful Ghosts."
Among the biggest snubs was Ava DuVernay's searing television
dramatization of the wrongful imprisonment of five black teens
for a 1989 rape in New York's Central Park, which won two Emmy
awards earlier this year.
The Golden Globes ceremony, hosted by British comedian Ricky
Gervais, will take place in Beverly Hills on Jan. 5.
The ceremony should see a host of other major Hollywood stars
whose work was nominated on Monday, including Beyonce (for her
original song for "The Lion King"), Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio,
Daniel Craig, Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Renee Zellweger, Cate
Blanchett, Elton John and "Catch 22" producer George Clooney.
