As the dust settles on the 77th Golden Globe Awards, held Sunday night at Beverly Hills, California, with the usual razzmatazz and show-sha, let’s take a quick look at the hits and the misses for the OTT platform at this year’s awards.
While Netflix started off with 34 nominations, it was the biggest loser of the evening. It won just 2 of those 34 nominations. Its marquee movie Marriage Story, which everyone expected to win big, landed just one award – the best-supporting actress award for Laura Dern. Since the Globes are a predicting precursor to the Academy Awards, the development doesn’t bode well for Marriage Story’s Oscar ambitions. Netflix also scored with the Best Actress in a drama series award for Olivia Colman for her turn in The Crown.
The other big loser of the evening was another Netflix biggie and award hopeful, The Irishman. It went home empty-handed, with Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, 1917 and Joker usurping its anticipated wins – for best movie, best director and best actor respectively.
Chernobyl, Succession and Fleabag scored with two wins each, with each winning the Best series award in their respective categories, and an award each in the acting department. Other than these, most shows had to make do with a solitary award.
