It's Golden Globe time! Amy Poehler and Tina Fey return to host the awards show for their fourth run though, admittedly, the 78th telecast will work a little bit differently form the shows they've put on in the past. Fey and Poehler will be hosting from opposite coasts (with Fey in the Rainbow Room in New York and Poehler at the Beverly Hills Hilton in California). Nominees and winners will Zoom conference in from wherever they are in the world. 

Netflix led the way with 22 nominations for movies and 20 more for series. Amazon had seven for movies and three for series. In addition to the traditional awards, the Globes will honor Jane Fonda with the Cecil B. deMille Award, and Normal Lear will be honored with the Carol Burnett Award.

We'll be updating the list of nominations below with the winner of each category as it's announced!
