How to watch the Golden Globes
Actors Tina Fey and Amy Poehler hosted a bicoastal Golden Globes Sunday that was postponed for nearly two months because of the coronavirus pandemic. Fey appeared from New York City's Rainbow Room, and Poehler was at The Beverly Hilton in Southern California, a region that was suffering from a post-holiday surge in COVID-19 cases in January, when the awards show is usually held.
Even with the delay, the annual ceremony honoring excellence in film and television kicked off this year's awards season with the Grammys being held in March and the Oscars in April. During Sunday's show, Jane Fonda received the Cecil B. DeMille Award and Norman Lear received the Carol Burnett Award for their achievements.

"The Crown," Netflix's British royal drama series, also received six nods, the most of any TV show.
"Mank" is in the running for best drama film with "The Father," "Nomadland," "Promising Young Woman" and "The Trial of the Chicago 7." David Fincher was nominated for best director for "Mank," and he's up against three women — Emerald Fennell for "Promising Young Woman," Regina King for "One Night in Miami" and Chloé Zhao for "Nomadland" — and Aaron Sorkin for "The Trial of the Chicago 7."
Chadwick Boseman, who died last summer after privately battling colon cancer, could win best actor in a drama film for his performance in "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom." He was nominated with Riz Ahmed for "Sound of Metal," Anthony Hopkins for "The Father," Gary Oldman for "Mank" and Tahar Rahim for "The Mauritanian."
Boseman's co-star in "Ma Rainey," Viola Davis, was nominated for best actress in a drama film for her portrayal of the title character and blues legend. She's up against Andra Day for "The United States vs. Billie Holiday," Vanessa Kirby for "Pieces of a Woman," Frances McDormand for "Nomadland" and Carey Mulligan for "Promising Young Woman."
In the running for best musical or comedy film are "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm," "Hamilton," "Music," "Palm Springs" and "The Prom."

In that category, he's up against James Corden for "The Prom," Lin-Manuel Miranda for "Hamilton," Dev Patel for "The Personal History of David Copperfield" and Andy Samberg for "Palm Springs."
Cohen's "Borat" co-star, Maria Bakalova, was nominated for best actress in a musical or comedy film. Also up for the award are Kate Hudson for "Music," Michelle Pfeiffer for "French Exit," Rosamund Pike for "I Care A Lot" and Anya Taylor-Joy for "Emma."
