David Fincher’s film Mank topped the list with six nominations, while streaming service Netflix also had many programs among the nominees. Australian actors Nicole Kidman and Cate Blanchett have also been recognised for their work in the TV miniseries The Undoing and Mrs America respectively.

The late Chadwick Boseman was also among the nominees, recognised for his role in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. It was his final film before his death from colon cancer in early 2020.

The film The Prom has been nominated for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. The Netflix film starring Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep and James Cordon was panned by critics, and Corden was lambasted for his portrayal of a gay man with many suggesting in relied on outdated stereotypes. Corden however has picked up a Best Actor nomination for part.

Sia’s film Music which sat on the shelf for several years before being released and savaged by critics, has also received a nomination.

There’s also more female directors receiving recognition for their work with Regina King picking up a nomination for her film One Night in Miami, and Emerald Fennell being nominated for Promising Young Woman.

Ozark, Ratched, The Crown, Lovecraft Country and The Mandalorian have all been nominated for Best TV Series – Drama, while Emily in Paris, The Flight Attendant, Schitt’s Creek, The Great and Ted Lasso are in the running for the Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy.
