‘Big Little Lies’ leads Golden Globes nominations for TV
The HBO series leads Globes nominations with six nods, ahead of ‘The Crown’, ‘Stranger Things’, ‘Game of Thrones’, ‘Master of None’ and ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’
The actors from HBO’s limited series Big Little Lies will have quite an internal competition at the Golden Globes next month.
Powerhouse actresses Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon are both nominated for best actress for a limited TV series, while colleagues Laura Dern, Shailene Woodley and Alexander Skarsgard are up for supporting awards. The Globes announced their television nominations on Monday, and the HBO series led the way with six nods.
The Globes offered 32 nominations for programmes from cable networks, led by HBO’s dozen. Streaming services had 15 nominations, with Netflix on top with nine. The only broadcast networks with nominations were NBC, with five, and ABC, with three. CBS, the most-watched network on television, was shut out.
While the Fox network also came up empty, its cable cousin FX was second only to HBO among the cable networks with eight nominations. They include Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon, stars of Feud: Bette and Joan.
Netflix’s The Crown and Stranger Things are both up for best drama series. HBO’s Game of Thrones and Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale are also up for best drama, with NBC’s This is Us carrying the flag for broadcast television.
