In one of the most confusing award announcements in recent memory, Sarah Jessica Parker and Taraji P. Henson had the honor (or is that horror?) of announcing the 2021 Golden Globes nominees bright and early on their zooms. And needless to say, it was the most HFPA the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has been in quite some time with some very questionable nominations. Perhaps that’s the best anyone could ask for in a pandemic. That being said, it was a good day for Netflix as both “Mank” and “The Crown” led all nominees on the film and television sides respectively.
The HFPA previously announced that Jane Fonda will receive the Cecil B. DeMille Award and Norman Lear will be honored with the Carol Burnett Award for their contributions to the fields of film and television respectively.
The winners of the 78th Annual Golden Globes will be announced during a ceremony on Sunday, Feb. 28 from 5-8 PM PT on NBC. At this point, presenters and HFPA members will be in attendance and nominees will be honored virtually.
