Apple enters “awards season” with some Golden Globes nominations

Apple:

Apple was honored with four Golden Globe nominations today for Apple Original films “On The Rocks” and “Wolfwalkers,” and Apple Original series “Ted Lasso,” making history as the first streaming service to receive a nomination in the Best Motion Picture, Animated category in less than a year and a half since its launch. The news was revealed today by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association at the 78th Annual Golden Globes live nominations.

Apple Original Films received its first-ever Golden Globe nominations for a motion picture, including Best Motion Picture, Animated for “Wolfwalkers” and Bill Murray for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture for Sofia Coppola’s “On The Rocks,” marking his seventh Golden Globe nomination.

Of all of these, I think Apple’s best hopes are for:

  • Wolfwalkers as “Best Picture – Animated”, though it’s up against Pixar’s Soul
  • Ted Lasso as “Best Musical/Comedy Series”
  • Jason Sudeikis as “Best Television Actor – Musical/Comedy Series”

Place your bets. Here’s the full list of Golden Globes nominees.
