Netflix dominated the nominations across both television and movies, scoring a leading 17 nods in movie fields and 17 in television.
Major snubs included Robert De Niro, the star of “The Irishman,” although co-stars Al Pacino and Joe Pesci won nods for supporting actors and Scorsese will compete for best director.
Instead, Golden Globe organizers nominated “Marriage Story” separated dad Adam Driver, Joaquin Phoenix for “Joker,” Christian Bale for race car drama “Ford v Ferrari,” Jonathan Pryce for playing Pope Francis in “Two Popes” and Antonio Banderas for “Pain and Glory” as movie drama lead actors.
“Marriage Story” also won nods for actress Scarlett Johansson, supporting actress Laura Dern, and for best screenplay.
