Golden Globes 2021 nominations - the full list of nominees
The prestigious ceremony often predicts where the Oscars will go.
We're about to enter an awards season unlike any other as Hollywood continues adapting to the complications caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
The Golden Globe Awards is one of the biggest ceremonies of the year, usually taking place in early January and often playing a big role in establishing who the frontrunners are for Oscar gold.
Due to the uncertainty of COVID-19, the event was delayed by almost two months this year, but things are finally getting underway today as the nominations are officially revealed.
With most cinemas currently closed due to government restrictions, films released via online platforms will be eligible for awards at the show, with favourites being Frances McDormand's Nomadland, Viola Davis' Ma Rainey's Black Bottom and Gary Oldman's Mank – the latter two being Netflix Original films.
Unlike the Academy Awards, the Golden Globes also recognise the best that television had to offer in the past year, with the likes of The Crown, The Undoing and Lovecraft Country tipped as contenders.
There will at least be something familiar among all the unprecedented changes, that being the dynamite presenting duo of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, who will be hosting the ceremony for the fourth time – only this time, by video link.
Read on for the full list of Golden Globes 2021 nominations.
