Netflix dominating Golden Globe nominations 

Golden Globe nominees were announced on Monday, December 9.

Streaming service Netflix dominated nominations as its heart-rending divorce saga Marriage Story received six nods including best drama. The Irishman, Martin Scorsese's three-and-a-half-hour gangster epic from Netflix, secured five nominations, ending tied for second with Once upon a Time in Hollywood, Quentin Tarantino's nostalgic love letter to 1960s Tinseltown.

The nominations traditionally see the stars and movies destined for awards success start to break away from the competition. The Globes are seen as a major bellwether for February's Academy Awards.
