The Golden Globe Awards nominations for 2020 have been announced, with Marriage Story picking up an impressive six nominations, while The Irishman and Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood are both up for five categories. On the TV front, Fleabag is leading the way yet again with three nominations, while The Crown has earned four nods. However, fans have been outraged that among the nominees, there are no female directors up for the annual honours. While directors Sam Mendes (1917), Bong Joon Ho (Parasite) and Martin Scorsese (The Irishman) are all included for Best Director, Motion Picture, filmmakers including Greta Gerwig (Little Women), Marielle Heller (A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood) and Olivia Wilde (Booksmart) have all been missed off the list.

Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood is up for five Golden Globe categories

Natalie Portman called out the "all-male nominees" during her speech at the 2018 awards ceremony, which was almost two years ago. The last time a female director was nominated was in 2014 when Ava DuVarnay – who directed Selma - received a nomination for the 2015 awards ceremony. In the 76 years of the Golden Globes ceremonies, only five female directors have ever been nominated in the category. As well as Ava, Barbra Streisand was nominated twice for The Prince of Tides and Yentl, Jane Campion was nominated for The Piano, and Sofia Coppola was nominated for Lost in Translation. Barbra is the only woman to have won the category for Yentl.
