This morning, the nominees for the 2021 Golden Globe Awards were announced by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, and we want to congratulate all of the projects with ties to the Sundance Institute and the Sundance Film Festival for being recognized.
Promising Young Woman and The Father led the Sundance-supported nominees with four apiece. Promising Young Woman received nods for Best Motion Picture, Drama; Best Screenplay; for Carey Mulligan’s lead performance; and for Emerald Fennell’s direction on her debut feature. The Father was nominated for Best Motion Picture, Drama; Best Screenplay; and for Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman’s performances.
Max Barbakow’s time-travel comedy Palm Springs scored nods for Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy, as well as for Andy Samberg’s performance. Shaka King’s Judas and the Black Messiah—which just had its world premiere at this year’s Festival—also received a nod for Best Supporting Actor, Motion Picture, and Best Original Song. See the full list of Sundance-supported nominees below, and tune in to the Golden Globes on NBC on Sunday, February 28.
