Here are the nominees for the 2021 Golden Globe Awards

We have to admit that it’s just a touch disorienting to only now begin discussing the nominees for the 2021 Golden Globes, which is usually an early January staple. There really isn’t much that COVID-19 hasn’t shuffled around at the point. What does remain consistent, thankfully, is the steady stream of decent film and television. Sarah Jessica Parker and Taraji P. Henson took on the task of speedily announcing this year’s nominees on behalf of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and just like most years, 2021’s roster of potential statuette recipients includes some expected favorites (One Night In Miami…! Nomadland!), some puzzling additions (like HFPA’s inexplicable love for Emily In Paris and James Corden in The Prom), and at least one glaring omission (like this really phenomenal HBO series called I May Destroy You, in case you haven’t heard of it).

Netflix leads the pack across TV and film for another year with The Crown and Mank as frontrunners within their respective industries. (Both scored six nominations a piece.) The Trial Of The Chicago 7 followed with five nominations, including a Supporting Actor nod for Sacha Baron Cohen. The comedy side of also showed love to Cohen and his efforts in Amazon Prime’s Borat Subsequent Moviefilm. As expected, the Golden Globes marks the beginning of what will likely amount in robust, posthumous awards season love for the late Chadwick Boseman, who died prior to the premiere of Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. Also expected was the love for Regina King’s feature directorial debut for the beloved One Night In Miami. Speaking of directors: For the first time in the show’s history, three women in the typically male-dominated category—King, Chloe Zhao (Nomadland), and Emerald Fennell (Promising Young Woman). That’s quite a step forward. If only we could say that same about HFPA approach to Minari, Lee Isaac Chung’s American film about a distinctly American experience that was sequestered to the Foreign Language category, disqualifying it from competing in the other major categories. The A.V. Club’s TV Editor Danette Chavez and Senior Writer Katie Rife will dig into this years surprises and snubs later today.

For the first time, the Golden Globes are going bicoastal this year as returning duo Tina Fey and Amy Poehler virtually host from opposite sides of the country. After being pushed back almost two months from its usual January timeslot, the ceremony will air live on Sunday, February 28, at 5 PM PT/8 PM ET on NBC. Check out the list of nominees below.
