While the streaming service is no longer eligible to compete at the Cannes Film Festival, Netflix has picked up a staggering 34 nominations for next year's Golden Globes ceremony across both film and television categories.

In the 'Best Motion Picture – Drama' category, three out of the five spots have been nabbed by Netflix's The Irishman, Marriage Story and The Two Popes, with Universal's war epic 1917 and Warner's game-changing Joker rounding out the rest of the list.

Of the Netflix films nominated, only The Irishman managed to pick up a Best Director nod for its helmer, Martin Scorsese. That said, the film also received nominations for Al Pacino and Joe Pesci in the 'Supporting Actor - Drama' category, as well as a 'Best Screenplay – Motion Picture' nomination for Steven Zaillian.

The hilarious Netflix Original Dolemite Is My Name earned a 'Best Actor – Musical or Comedy' nod for its star Eddie Murphy, along with a 'Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy' nomination.

Streaming gets some respect

Netflix's critical darling Marriage Story also earned its share of nominations, with Noah Baumbach nabbing a Best Screenplay nod but missing out in the Best Director category. 

The film's stars Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver each received nominations for 'Best Actor/Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama' respectively, with additional nods for Laura Dern in the 'Best Supporting Actress' category and Randy Newman for 'Best Original Score'.

As pointed out by NPR, Netflix earned more than twice the number of nominations as the second place studio (Sony Pictures), though it wasn't the only streaming service to be recognized – Amazon picked up some credit for The Marvelous Mrs Maisel and Fleabag for both its stars and the series themselves, while Annette Benning (The Report) and Emma Thompson (Late Night) also received nominations.

Though a relatively new service, Apple TV Plus also earned its first ever Golden Globes nomination for 'Best Television Series – Drama' alongside Netflix's The Crown. You can check out the complete list of 2020 Golden Globes nominations below.
