With the way everything is currently set up, award season has been put on a back bench this year, as many shows have either cancelled or postponed until a later date. With the Golden Globes originally set to go live early January, we’re going to have to wait and see who the Hollywood Foreign Press Association crown as this year’s top talent. But we’re getting a sneak preview, as SATC’s Sarah Jessica Parker and Taraji P. Henson are kicking off the ceremony by announcing this year’s nominations – and the competition is looking fierce.

With the likes of Normal People, The Queen’s Gambit and Small Axe dominating our TV screens the past year, it comes as no surprise as they are all nominated for Best Limited Series for TV or TV Film, alongside Nicole Kidman’s The Undoing and Unorthodox. Rosamund Pike, Anya Taylor-Joy and Kate Hudson all received nominations for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. While Normal People‘s Daisy Edgar-Jones, Unorthadox’s Shira Haas and The Queen’s Gambit’s Anya Taylor-Joy received nods for Best Actress in a TV movie or Limited Series.

Normal People -- Episode 8 - Episode 108 -- It’s the summer holidays and Connell (Paul Mescal) and Niall (Desmond Eastwood) arrive at Marianne’s (Daisy Edgar-Jones) family house in Italy. The obvious chemistry between Connell and Marianne causes friction with Jamie (Fionn O’Shea), despite Connell’s evident happiness with his girlfriend Helen (Aoife Hinds), who he clearly misses. Peggy (India Mullen) cooks the group a lavish meal but tensions run high. During dinner, Jamie drinks too much and picks a fight with Marianne. Connell breaks it up and attempts to soothe Marianne. Marianne stays in Connell’s room that night to get away from Jamie. They talk and almost kiss, but Marianne puts a stop to it before it goes any further. , shown. (Photo by Enda Bowe/Hulu)

And in the male categories, the late Chadwick Boseman, Riz Ahmed and Tahar Rahim received nominations in the category for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture. While Daniel Kaluuya, Sacha Baron Cohen, Jared Leto and Leslie Odom Jr. are set to battle it out for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture.

And in the series category, Lovecraft Country, The Crown, Ozark, Ratched and The Mandalorian have all received nominations for Best TV Drama, while Emily in Paris, Schitt’s Creek, The Great and The Flight Attendant have been selected for Best TV – Comedy or Musical.

But as the nominations rolled out on social media this afternoon, it was clear that a lot of our much-loved shows from the past year were snubbed. Michaela Coel’s fearless genre-pushing series I May Destroy You and Zendaya’s captivating performance in Malcolm and Marie were both left off from nominations this year, as well as the cast of A24’s Minari. Looking at the big picture, it was very clear that this year lacked diversity considering we were blessed with numerous standout performances in Steve McQueen’s Small Axe and Spike Lee’s Da 5 Bloods. One thing the Hollywood Press Association did learn from last year’s show was to highlight more female directors, and this year Regina King’s One Night in Miami, Chloé Zhao’s Nomandland and Emerald Fennell’s Promising Young Woman have been nominated for Best Director. We can only hope the HPA will continue to learn for future years.

With the Golden Globes celebrating their 78th year, the virtual event with be hosted by comedic duo Tina Fey and Amy Poehler on the 28th February.
