The Herman Mankiewicz biopic Mank and the royal drama The Crown lead nominations at the 78th Golden Globe Awards, with both receiving six nods apiece. The award ceremony will be held virtually on February 28 in two cities, New York and Los Angeles.

Among highlights is late star Chadwick Boseman’s nomination in the Best Actor category. Boseman, who shot to global fame playing Black Panther, has been nominated posthumously for his role in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, his final film.

Another highlight this year, on the film front, is a record three female directors being nominated — Chloe Zhao (Nomadland), Regina King (One Night In Miami) and Emerald Fennell (Promising Young Woman) are in the race to pick the top award.
