Golden Globe nominations set tone for awards season

LOS ANGELES: The unveiling of the Golden Globes nominations on Wednesday will jumpstart a Hollywood awards season like no other, with pandemic-related theater closures and blockbuster delays expected to boost smaller, stay-at-home movies like Netflix’s “The Trial of the Chicago 7” and “Mank.”

The influential Globes are often a bellwether for any given film’s success at the Oscars, but all bets are off in a year that has seen glitzy award campaign events scrapped and ceremonies postponed by COVID-19 restrictions.
