The 78th Annual Golden Globes - The Nominees

The ceremony to crown the winners will be held on February 28, 2021. The format is still unclear, given the pandemic restrictions.

I've watched almost none of the nominated movies, however, James Corden's performance in The Prom has been widely panned and described as the worst of the year and one of the worst ever, so nominating him over other actors from that star-studded ensemble is baffling.

Hats off for elevating not just one, but three women directors vying for the Globe!!
