‘Joker’ or ‘The Irishman’, ‘The Crown’ or ‘Killing Eve’? Who will take home Golden Globes Sunday night?

NBC(LOS ANGELES) — With its more relaxed atmosphere — due in part to an open bar — and ability to pave the way for Oscar gold,  the Golden Globes is often thought of as celebs’ favorite awards show.

Outspoken Office co-creator Ricky Gervais is locked and loaded for his fifth turn as host Sunday night, but who will take home the gold is anyone’s guess. 

With a company-best 34 nominations, Netflix leads the competition going into the event. The streaming giant earned six nominations for Noah Baumbach’s drama Marriage Story, starring Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson, who also earned nods in the respective outstanding actor/actress in a drama category.

The film is also a contender for the Best Motion Picture — Drama category, where it’s competing against Netflix’s own drama, The Irishman. The Martin Scorsese crime epic earned five nominations, including Best Motion Picture — Drama, and a best director nomination for Scorsese, as well as best supporting nominations for Al Pacino and Joe Pesci.

The streaming service’s Dolemite Is My Name earned a nomination in the Best Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy category, and a best actor nomination for Eddie Murphy.

Netflix also scooped up major television kudos, with four nominations apiece for both newcomer Unbelievable and awards show favorite The Crown.

Certainly, winning an armful of Emmys for show creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge puts her Amazon Prime show Fleabag in the pole position in the TV comedy category, but it’s up against fellow award magnets Barry on HBO, Netflix’s The Kominsky Method and Amazon’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

On the dramatic TV side, newbie streamer Apple TV+ came out of the gate with nominations for its The Morning Show, which earned nods for its co-producer and co-leads Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon. The Morning Show goes head to head with another Witherspoon project, HBO’s Big Little Lies, as well as Netflix’s The Crown, BBC America’s Emmy winner Killing Eve, and HBO’s Succession.

The 77th annual Golden Globe Awards air on NBC January 5, live from the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
