In a post-Game of Thrones world, HBO is still crushing it while Netflix still has yet to win the “Best Picture” film glory it’s coveted for so long. And Phoebe Waller-Bridge of Fleabag fame remains a critical darling who can do no wrong. Those are just some of the big takeaways that viewers of the Golden Globes 2020 awards show telecast would have taken away from Sunday night’s airing — with Netflix coming up short in many respects possibly serving as one of the biggest surprises of the night.Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’re probably aware that Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman was one of the marquee Netflix releases of 2019. It began streaming on Netflix at the end of November and represented a milestone achievement for the streamer — securing one of the most legendary directors to bring his next feature film to Netflix (albeit with a limited theatrical run) along with acting heavy-hitters like Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Al Pacino. And while it was nominated for a Best Picture award Sunday night, Netflix came up short there – in spite of the fact that this seemed as good an opportunity as any for Netflix to win this award and finally assert itself as the equal of Hollywood film studios.
Not only that, in one of the biggest surprises of the night The Irishman actually didn’t take home a single Golden Globe Sunday night. And on a related note, Netflix came into the event with 34 nominations but only ended up winning two awards — in the Best Supporting Actress category for films, for Laura Dern’s performance in the Netflix movie Marriage Story. Also, in the Best Actress TV category, thanks to Olivia Coleman in The Crown. Beyond Netflix coming up almost completely short, there was a slew of other surprises: Among them, HBO’s Succession stole the expected Best Drama series award from The Crown, which had been favored to win. Also, on the film side the Best Picture winner ended up surprising almost everyone — the World War I drama 1917 has already attracted a ton of buzz in part over the way it appears to unfold in a single take, and it ended up beating Scorsese’s and Quentin Tarantino’s latest to win in this category.
