Past Golden Globe winners Sarah Jessica Parker and Taraji P. Henson kicked off the announcement of this year's nominees, in a livestream simulcast by the Today show.

Netflix led the pack with 22 nominations for motion pictures and 20 for TV; Mank garnered the most movie nominations with 6, and The Crown matched that on the TV side with 6 nominations of its own.

The awards ceremony is set for Feb. 28 — two months later than usual because of the pandemic. Tina Fey will broadcast live from the Rainbow Room in Rockefeller Center, joined by Amy Poehler from the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.
