Netflix received no fewer than 17 feature-film nominations from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, including six for writer-director Noah Baumbach’s Marriage Story and five for director Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman. The other Netflix movies seeing action at the Globes were Dolemite Is My Name and The Two Popes.

That makes Netflix the most-nominated film studio, handily leading runner-up Sony Pictures, which managed only nine nominations among Once Upon a Time … in HollywoodLittle Women and A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood and Sony Pictures Classics release Pain and Glory.
