The Hollywood Foreign Press Association revealed the people and projects that will be celebrated at the 2020 Golden Globe Awards by announcing the nominations for the 77th annual show.
Tim Allen, Dakota Fanning and Susan Kelechi Watson gathered to announce the nominations for the Jan. 5 show, which honors achievements in both film and television.

Meanwhile, films like “Joker” and “The Irishmen” cleaned up when it came to nominations in the movie category.
