There are two changes to the nominations this year: On the one hand, more and more Netflix productions are being considered – a fact that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. On the other hand Comicverfilmungen is finally paid more attention.

Four chances for "Joker"

A total of four times "Joker" is nominated at the Golden Globes 2020. In addition to the "Best Film" award, leading actor Joaquin Phoenix has the chance to win the Best Actor award in a drama. Todd Phillips could get an award for Best Director – but the competition is strong! Sam Mendes ("1917"), Martin Scorsese ("The Irishman"), Quentin Tarantino ( "Once upon a Time in Hollywood" ) and Bong Joon Ho ("Parasite") are also nominated. Hildur Guðnadóttir can also hope. Your score is the best original soundtrack in the race.
