Golden Globe Nominations Show a Surge in Streaming Shows

The nominations for the second-fanciest awards show on television, the Golden Globes, to be presented on Jan. 16 by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, were announced early this morning.

Here’s what Re/code noted: A distinct increase in nods to shows produced by online streaming sites as opposed to broadcast and cable TV.

Here are the nominations from shows on Hulu, Amazon and Netflix (you can see all the nominations here):

“Narcos” (Netflix)
“Casual” (Hulu)
“Orange Is the New Black” (Netflix)
“Transparent” (Amazon)
“Mozart in the Jungle” (Amazon)
Robin Wright, “House of Cards” (Netflix)
Lily Tomlin, “Grace & Frankie” (Netflix)
Wagner Moura, “Narcos” (Netflix)
Aziz Ansari, “Master of None” (Netflix)
Jeffrey Tambor, “Transparent” (Amazon)
Gael García Bernal, “Mozart in the Jungle” (Amazon)
Uzo Aduba, “Orange Is the New Black” (Netflix)
Judith Light, “Transparent” (Amazon)
Ben Mendelsohn, “Bloodline” (Netflix)

Now let’s compare them to last year’s nominations of streaming shows:

“House of Cards” (Netflix)
“Transparent” (winner!) (Amazon)
“Orange Is the New Black” (Netflix)
Robin Wright, “House of Cards” (Netflix)
Taylor Schilling, “Orange Is the New Black” (Netflix)
Jeffrey Tambor, “Transparent” (Amazon)
Uzo Adoba, “Orange Is the New Black” (Netflix)

So yes, the number of nominations from non-traditional studios has literally doubled in one year, from seven to 14, with comedies dominating their categories. And though the rules have changed slightly since last year, there is nothing in the 2015 rules that would explain the leap — no change in how television shows are defined or distributed.

So the only explanation is that the market is expanding rapidly, and people really like these shows.

The other news is that Netflix continues its stranglehold on the Globes, with eight nominations (up from five last year). Amazon still comes in second, with five (up from two). And Hulu is the new contender, with just one nomination as it bursts upon the scene with its first Golden Globe nomination. Exciting times, Hulu!

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
