Netflix literally dominated the 78th Golden Globes Awards nominations with the biggest ever 42 nominations all across films and television categories which also include nods and green signals for The Trial of the Chicago 7, The Queen’s Gambit, and The Crown.

The Crown, which is also another Netflix produced series, leaded the Television category with 6 nominations as well.

The globes are like the Oscars, but are more loud, filled with glamour and booze where the funnier cousin champagne is seen flowing freely where these awards are mainly focused on acting and direction and very less on the technical categories like sound editing or cinematography, which also indicates about how the ball room of the Beverly Hilton is strictly and totally A-list only with viewers tuned in partly on the chance of getting to see a sneak peek and glimpse of their favorite stars loosening their inhibitions and sophistication ever so slightly.
Some fan favorite series also scored some nominations on Wednesday morning. The highly-lauded Netflix limited series “The Queen’s Gambit” got 2 nominations with one for best limited series and another for best actress in a limited series (Anya Taylor-Joy). The theatrical release of “Hamilton” also got nominated in two categories namely, the best motion picture [musical or comedy] and best actor in a motion picture [musical or comedy] to Lin-Manuel Miranda.
This year’s globes are going to be really different as they are going to be unfolded virtually with their veteran hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler on 28th February 2021 at NBC Channel.
