American streaming giant Netflix led nominations for the 77th Golden Globe Awards with 34 nods in 25 categories spanning motion picture and television, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced on Monday.
Netflix dominated nominations in the film categories with 17 nods, thanks to strong showings from comedy-drama film "Marriage Story," epic crime film "The Irishman" and others.
Directed by Noah Baumbach and starring Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver, "Marriage Story" racked up a leading six nods, followed by "The Irishman" and Sony Pictures' "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," with five nods respectively.
Three of the five best motion picture drama nominees are from Netflix, including "Marriage Story," "The Irishman" and biographical drama film "The Two Popes." They will compete for the top prize with Universal Pictures' war drama "1917" and Warner Bros. Pictures' thriller film "Joker."
