David Villafranca / EFE.- Netflix overwhelmingly dominated film nominations at the Golden Globes thanks to ‘Mank’ and ‘Chicago 7 Trial’, those were the films with the most nominations, but will have to overcome a huge obstacle in their way: “Nomadland”, the favorite so far in the Hollywood Awards season.

In other circumstances, these two films would be favorites, but the ‘Nomadland’ portrayal of the American crisis has taken Hollywood award season by storm so far.

In a year of closed theaters, countless delays in Hollywood and maximum uncertainty in the industry, the Golden Globes declared with their nominations that streaming has been a crucial haven for cinema since the outbreak of the coronavirus crisis.

Netflix’s triumph was absolute, as it also topped the nominations on its favorite playing field, television, where it received twenty mentions (second on this list is HBO with “only” seven nominations).

The Hollywood epic “Mank,” with six nominations, and the captivating political drama of “Chicago 7 Trial,” with five frame options, were the most nominated films and Netflix’s two main bets for these Globes of Gold.

In other circumstances, these two films would be favorites, but “Nomadland” portrayal of the crisis in America has won the Hollywood award season so far. and today he took positions for the Globes with four nominations.

“Nomadland” won the Golden Lion in Venice, won the Toronto Audience Award (TIFF), was recognized by critics in the United States (Best Picture for the National Society of Film Critics and for the Chicago, Boston, Houston Press.) and director Chloé Zhao has won Best Direction, even at those awards that did not give this film the recognition of the best film (the Los Angeles and New York critics).

The old-age drama “The Father”, starring Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman, and “A promising young woman,” the daring and feminist film directed by Carey Mulligan that may have been the surprise of today’s Golden Globes.
