AceShowbiz - Netflix led the Golden Globe nominations on Monday, December 09, with its films "The Irishman" and "Marriage Story" contributing to the streaming service earning a staggering 34 nods for the 2020 awards.

"Marriage Story" topped the list with six nominations - including nods for Scarlett Johansson, Adam Driver and Laura Dern - while Martin Scorsese's "The Irishman" was hot on its tail with five. Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", meanwhile, was nominated for four gongs.

"The Irishman" stars Al Pacino and Joe Pesci are both nominated for the Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture category, alongside "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" star Brad Pitt, while the Netflix film's screenplay by Steven Zaillian is also up for an award - but will have to beat Tarantino to take home that gong.

Beyonce Knowles and Taylor Swift will be fighting for the Original Song award, thanks to their respective tunes "Spirit", from "The Lion King (2019)", and "Beautiful Ghosts", from "Cats". They also have tough competition from "Frozen II" ballad "Into the Unknown", "Stand Up" from "Harriet" - written and performed by its lead actress Cynthia - and "(I'm Gonna) Love Me Again" from "Rocketman".
