How to Watch Golden Globe Nominee Streaming on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon and More

Time is running out for those looking for where to watch the Golden Globe nominations. Yes, the big Golden Globe Awards are coming up on February 28. Many people may be eagerly searching for how to watch the Golden Globe nominated movies and TV shows to have a chance to win their respective pool of predictions.

The good news is that, unlike previous years when movie theaters were open, you can watch most of the nominated films on some of the best streaming services you may have already paid for. Of course, some of the hottest films are only available elsewhere. This includes some that are distributed by services you may not have even heard of.

And ultimately, this is great for both the audience and the film. While it would be nice if the nine films on video-on-demand (which you pay to buy or rent) were on services like Netflix or Hulu, the fact that many of these films can be watched from the couch is a well-deserved win.

We also break down movies in two ways: a quick cheat sheet of where you can see the best picture nominees and a breakdown of what movies and shows are on the major services.

That's why the king continues to reign supreme on the throne: Netflix is this year's trophy collector, with 18 shows and movies nominated. Netflix did not create "Shits Creek," but it helped raise the comedy series' profile by providing a larger platform.

Prime Video has an interesting lineup of nominees, including the series "Hunters," starring Al Pacino as the leader of Nazi hunters trying to stop the Nazi resurgence in 1977. While "Borat 2" made a big splash, "The Sound of Metal" is one of my favorite films of 2020. It is about a drummer (Riz Ahmed) who loses his hearing, and Ahmed's performance makes the film a must-see.

"On the Rocks" may be a bit slow, and "Wolfwalkers" may not be everyone's cup of tea, but "Ted Rathbone" should be seen now. It is arguably the best TV show of 2020, and Jason Sudeikis plays the titular coach.

Disney Plus' 2020 plan seems to have been "quality over quantity," and it shows here. Hamilton and The Mandalorian are the blockbusters that Disney Plus needed, and will be Golden Globe contenders.

HBO Max's deal and plan to win awards - to put big movies online without making them pay extra - is showcased in these nominated films. The recently released "Judas and the Black Messiah" was excellent and earned Daniel Kaluuya a nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture. Lakeith Stanfield should have been nominated as well.

"Palm Springs" is Hulu's biggest hit of the year. It is basically a modern-day version of Groundhog Day, but this time both Andy Samberg and Christine Milioti's characters are stuck in a looped day. Another must-see is The Normal People.

Shudder original "La Llorona" brings to television a terrifying Latin American fable about ghosts haunting the places where their children have drowned.

Two of Showtime's nominees are star-studded: The Good Lord Bird, starring Ethan Hawke and David Diggs, and The Comey Rule, starring Holly Hunter, Jeff Daniels, and Brendan Gleeson.

You will need to look up these films to rent or buy them on Amazon, Apple/iTunes, Google Play, or other services.
