Sandra Oh, Andy Samberg to co-host Globes

It was a bad day for network television. Spike Lee was nominated for BlacKkKlansman, the second time as best director by the Globes, 30 years after being nominated for Do the Right Thing. Not even previous victor Sterling K. Brown could score a nod. They were announced Wednesday as hosts to the January 6 ceremony, to be broadcast live on NBC. First up, Amazon was recognized for three distinct series, each with its own tone and spirit.

"Vice" topped all contenders Thursday with a surprising six nominations, including best picture, comedy.

The performers in the series were also recognised, with Hugh Grant being rewarded for his role as the former Liberal leader Jeremy Thorpe in A Very English Scandal.

Actress, Musical or Comedy: Kristen Bell, The Good Place; Candice Bergen, Murphy Brown; Alison Brie, GLOW; Rachel Brosnahan, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel; Debra Messing, Will & Grace. It nearly makes that steep Amazon Prime membership worth it.

Oh got a nod for best actress in a TV drama series for Killing Eve, on which she's also an executive producer. If she takes home the trophy, she'll be the first singer to win Best Actress in a Drama, which is quite a feat.

NBC announced on Wednesday that "Killing Eve" star Sandra Oh and "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" star Andy Samberg will co-host the 76th Annual Golden Globe Awards. Though Elisabeth Moss picked up a nomination in the latter category this time around, the show was shut out of the best drama category.

Newton native John Krasinski's thriller "A Quiet Place" only earned a nod for Best Original Score, but his wife, Emily Blunt, scored a Best Actress (Musical or Comedy) nomination for "Mary Poppins Returns", one of four nominations for the film.

FX continued its streak as the premium basic cable channel with expected nominations for the "Versace" limited series and its stars, Emmy victor Darren Criss, Penelope Cruz and Edgar Ramirez.

Actor, TV Series, Musical or Comedy: Sacha Baron Cohen, "Who Is America"; Jim Carrey, "Kidding"; Michael Douglas, "The Kominsky Method"; Donald Glover, "Atlanta"; Bill Hader, "Barry". Hulu snagged two for "The Handmaid's Tale", a show that has jumped the bonnet.

The Golden Globes had aired without a host for decades until NBC in 2010 tapped Ricky Gervais for the job.

Both stars have won Golden Globes, but neither have ever hosted the award show before.

Film and television are audiovisual mediums, so naturally, the music world has an impact on the biggest movies and TV shows.

"Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg hosting the Golden Globes ugh we love an excellent decision!", someone else tweeted. It's a lot, I know, there is SO much television.

Marvel has made a heroic push for the film in recent months by hiring Oscar strategist Cynthia Swartz to lead the campaign for awards season with the support of Marvel President Kevin Feige and a "significant awards season budget".
