1The complete list of nominations for the 78th Golden Globe Awards was announced on Wednesday.
2This year's list surprised many critics who wondered about many of the nominations.
3The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the group that makes the nominations, appeared to make some unusual choices for a very strange year.
4U.S. theaters have been closed much of the year because of the COVID-19 health crisis.
5This year, nominations were announced before all of the movies have been released.
6Some of the nominated movies and performances are not yet available to the U.S. public.
7At least one critic said this year's Globe nominations tested our understanding of what exactly a film is.
8Steve McQueen's "Small Axe" film series was nominated in a television category.
9At the same time, the filmed version of the Broadway play "Hamilton" on Disney+ was eligible in the film groups and got two nominations.
10In another surprise, director Spike Lee and his highly praised film "Da 5 Bloods" failed to be nominated.
11The best motion picture drama nominees include "The Father," directed by Florian Zeller; "Mank," directed by David Fincher; "Nomadland" directed by Chloé Zhao; "The Trial of the Chicago 7" directed by Aaron Sorkin; and "Promising Young Woman," directed by Emerald Fennell.
12Best foreign language film nominees include "Another Round," "La Llorona," "The Life Ahead," "Minari," and "Two of Us."
13The awards will be held on both of America's coasts for the first time, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association said.
14Tina Fey will appear live in New York and Amy Poehler will appear in California.
15The event has already been delayed by about two months.
16It is set to take place on February 28.
17Fey and Poehler hosted the Globes together before.
18This time, they will do so from either side of the country.
19Fey will host from New York's Rainbow Room, while Poehler will be at the Globes' usual home, the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California.
20Nominees will likely appear from places around the world.
21I'm John Russell.
