Mank, The Crown lead Golden Globes nominations list

Mank, the Herman Mankiewicz biopic directed by David Fincher, and Netflix's hit royal drama The Crown lead the nominations for the 78th Golden Globe Awards, with both receiving six nods apiece.

The award ceremony will be held virtually on February 28 from two cities, New York and Los Angeles.

Amongst the nominees is the late Chadwick Boseman, who has been nominated posthumously under the Best Actor category for his role in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, his final film.

Another highlight this year, on the film front, is a record three female directors being nominated - Chloe Zhao (Nomadland), Regina King (One Night In Miami), and Emerald Fennell (Promising Young Woman) are in the race to pick the top award.

The Crown and Mank are followed by Aaron Sorkin's film The Trial Of The Chicago 7 and the comedy series Schitt's Creek, with five nominations each.

The nominees for the upcoming edition were announced by Sarah Jessica Parker and Taraji P Henson on Wednesday, in which it was revealed that Sacha Baron Cohen, Anya Taylor-Joy and Olivia Colman are leading the actor and actress nominations, with all of them receiving two nods each.

Another thing that the nominations highlight is the gradual shift of Hollywood from traditional studios and cable networks to the streaming space. Global streaming giant Netflix is dominating the pack with a staggering 42 nominations across film and television categories, which includes nods for The Trial Of The Chicago 7, The Queen's Gambit, and The Crown.

Amazon Studios also has 10 nominations, including nods for Borat Subsequent Moviefilm and its Small Axe anthology series. Hulu gets 10 nods as well, which included nominations for Palm Springs and Ramy.
