 Digital video pioneer Netflix Inc dominated the field, landing
17 nominations in TV categories plus 17 more for movies,
including leading contenders "Marriage Story" and "The
Irishman."
TV networks, movie studios and streaming services campaign
heavily to win Golden Globes and other awards to bring publicity
to their shows and help attract new audiences.
The Golden Globe winners, determined by the Hollywood Foreign
Press Association, will be announced at a red-carpet ceremony in
Beverly Hills, California, on Jan. 5.
"The Morning Show," which streams on the Apple TV+ subscription
service that debuted in November, was nominated for best
television drama. Stars Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon
were named in the best dramatic actress category.
The series tells the story of a morning news program roiled by
sexual misconduct allegations against a popular anchor.
"Feeling grateful to be able to bring this story to light," said
director and executive producer Mimi Leder. Cast and crew
"worked passionately from their hearts and souls to continue the
conversation of power, greed, and toxicity in the workplace,"
she added.
Netflix's TV nominations came for series including British royal
drama "The Crown" and "Unbelievable," a show about a woman who
says she was raped and later recants her story.

While Netflix has won many TV accolades since it made a major push
into original series in 2013, the company is relatively new to the
movie business.
Netflix took three of the five nominations for best movie drama.
They were for "Marriage Story" starring Adam Driver and Scarlett
Johansson, Martin Scorsese mob drama "The Irishman," and
biographical film "The Two Popes."
Another Netflix movie, "Dolemite Is My Name" featuring Eddie Murphy
as floundering comedian in the 1970s, was nominated for best movie
musical or comedy.
Amazon.com Inc's Prime Video received five TV nominations and three
for movies. Hulu, owned by Walt Disney Co, was nominated for five TV
awards.
Sony Corp's movie studio took the most nominations of any
traditional film distributor, including five for Quentin Tarantino's
"Once Upon a Time in Hollywood."
