Nominees for the 2016 Golden Globes were announced overnight in the US, with the TV categories showing a very strong shift away from broadcast TV and towards cable, with an increasingly stronger showing for streaming content from the likes of Hulu, Amazon, and Netflix.
Netflix led the networks in nominations with eight, followed closely behind by HBO with seven nominations, and Starz with six. With Amazon Video receiving five nominations and hulu receiving its first nomination this year, streaming services are starting to really make their presence felt.
SVOD services are now starting to encroach on the film awards too, with the star of Netflix’s original feature film Beasts of No Nation, Idris Elba, nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category.
Local streaming service Stan will be happy with the nominations, with their highly promoted import series Transparent and Mozart In The Jungle both recognised, along with a nomination for Better Call Saul series star Bob Odenkirk.
Foxtel lead other Australian broadcasters in the sheer volume of nominated series. As the Australian destination for HBO content, the subscription TV service will undoubtedly promote the seven nominations received for those series, which includes Game of Thrones, Silicon Valley, and Veep. Other nominated series broadcast by Foxtel include Outlander, Jane The Virgin, Mr Robot, Penny Dreadful, Luther, and The Affair.
The 73rd Golden Globes Awards will broadcast live in Australia on 11 January 2016 on FOX8.
