Netflix emerged victorious on Sunday night after earning over half of the year’s Golden Globe awards in the television categories, according to Fox News. The streaming wins come during the 12 months that saw the Covid-19 pandemic shine even more light on digital services in general. Netflix scored 20 nominations in the Globes TV categories (and 42 overall counting film) so to take six was a major achievement, particularly as in a number of the categories it was essentially competing against itself.
The streaming giant, which still leads its competition in subscriber counts, won six of 11 Golden Globes for television shows, dominating the drama categories thanks to “The Crown” and the limited series, anthology series, or motion picture made for television category with “The Queen’s Gambit”, said Fox News.
Emma Corrin, for instance, picked up Netflix’s first TV win of the night for her portrayal of Princess Diana in The Crown, beating Olivia Colman, who played her mother-in-law in the royal drama, as well as Ozark’s Laura Linney and Ratched’s Sarah Paulson.
Josh O’Connor, who played her husband, Prince Charles, beat Ozark’s Jason Bateman, Gillian Anderson, as Margaret Thatcher, beat her Crown co-star Helena Bonham Carter, as well as Ratched’s Cynthia Nixon and Ozark’s Julia Garner and the Left Bank Pictures-produced drama, triumphed against Ozark and Ratched for the main drama award, Deadline cited.

Anya Taylor-Joy won the limited series actress award, beating her Netflix peer Shira Haas from Unorthodox and The Queen’s Gambit also beat the Yiddish drama in the Limited Series category.
The dominance of the top global streaming service and the top traditional studio will not surprise many. For the past year, many cinemas have been closed, and the biggest new films have been delayed or put online. That also meant studios had to hold back at least some of their multi-million-dollar marketing budgets, making it harder to suss out clear favorites.
