How Netflix’s dominance in the Golden Globe nominations signals a new era for cinema

LA Times  

The battle for the future of movies has ended, and streaming has won. Propelled by Martin Scorsese’s gangster epic “The Irishman,” the searing divorce drama “Marriage Story” and the Vatican-set “The Two Popes” — all three of which earned best picture nods in the drama category, along with the World War I drama “1917” and the gritty comic-book smash “Joker” — Netflix racked up a total of 17 Globes nominations in film alone. In 2016, the company earned just one Globes nomination: for actor Idris Elba in its first major awards contender, the drama “Beasts of No Nation.” To overcome that resistance, Netflix has worked to bring marquee filmmakers like Scorsese, the Coen brothers and Alfonso Cu´aron, who directed last year’s best picture Oscar nominee “Roma,” into its tent, a costly investment that has begun to pay dividends. They work with you, not against you.” Spearheading the charge for Netflix, director Noah Baumbach’s “Marriage Story” led the Globes field overall with six nominations, including screenplay and score along with acting nods in the lead drama categories for stars Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson. It’s been nearly a decade since the organization, now in its 77th year, gave three nominations, including best picture, to the critically reviled flop “The Tourist.” Still, Globes nominations can often be counted on to deliver some curveballs, if not outright head-scratchers, and Monday’s announcement contained a few, including a surprise snub of Robert De Niro for “The Irishman” and the unexpected nod for Cate Blanchett, who hadn’t been on the awards radar this year, in the comedy actress category.
