Los Angeles: Critically-acclaimed royal drama 'The Crown' and Canadian comedy series 'Schitt's Creek' dominated the television categories at the 'Golden Globes 2021' nominations.
The nominations for the award ceremony, which marks the beginning of Hollywood award season that culminates
with the 'Oscars', were announced by actors Taraji P Henson
and Sarah Jessica Parker virtually.
'The Crown' roared to the top of all TV candidates with six nominations, including lead acting nods for Olivia Coleman, Emma Corrin and Josh O'Connor as well as supporting nods to Gillian Anderson and Helena Bonham Carter.
In the best television series (drama) category, the Peter Morgan-created show will face tough competition from other 'Netflix' shows 'Ozark' and 'Ratched'
as well as Disney Plus' 'The
Mandalorian' and HBO's 'Lovecraft Country'.
Coleman and Corrin, who played Princess Diana in the show, were nominated in the best actress category, alongside Jodie Comer of 'Killing Eve', Laura Linney for 'Ozark' and Sarah Paulson for 'Ratched'.
O'Connor will face a tough road ahead for himself in the best actor (drama) category as he will face off against Jason Bateman (Ozark), Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul), Matthew Rhys (Perry Mason) and Al Pacino (Hunters).
The father-son duo of Eugene and Dan Levy received nominations in the best actor (comedy) and best supporting actor.
