Golden Globes television nominations’ list: ‘The Crown’, ‘Schitt’s Creek’, ‘Ozark’ and other streaming shows nab top categories – Times of India
Newcomers ‘Ted Lasso’, ‘The Flight Attendant’ and ‘Emily in Paris’ also were nominated for television honours by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the group that hands out the Golden Globe trophies.
Streaming TV emerged as a main source of entertainment in 2020 as movie theatres closed amid the COVID-19 pandemic and people spent more time at home.
‘The Queen’s Gambit’, starring Anya Taylor-Joy as a gifted chess player who fights drug and alcohol addiction, will compete in the limited series category against ‘The Undoing’, ‘Unorthodox’ and others.
In addition to ‘The Crown’ and ‘Ozark’, the television drama contenders include ‘Star Wars’ spin-off ‘The Mandalorian’, featuring the popular Baby Yoda character, and the horror series ‘Lovecraft Country’.
Best TV comedy contenders include ‘Ted Lasso’, starring Jason Sudeikis as an American football coach hired to lead an English soccer team. The show will compete with ‘Schitt’s Creek’, which swept last year’s Emmys, the murder comedy ‘The Flight Attendant’ and others.
