Mank leads the 2021 Golden Globe nominations

The Golden Globe nominations were announced Wednesday morning, and Netflix's Mank was the most nominated movie, scoring six nods including Best Motion Picture - Drama. Its director, David Fincher, was also nominated, as were its stars Gary Oldman and Amanda Seyfried.
The other nominees for best drama film were The Father, Nomadland, Promising Young Woman, and The Trial of the Chicago 7. Meanwhile, the nominees for Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy were Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, Music, Hamilton, Palm Springs, and The Prom.
