'Joker' or 'The Irishman', 'The Crown' or 'Killing Eve'? Who will at the Golden Globes?

WATCH: 2020 Golden Globe nominations announced

With its more relaxed atmosphere -- due in part to an open bar -- and ability to pave the way for Oscar gold, the Golden Globes is often thought of as celebs' favorite awards show.

Outspoken "The Office" co-creator Ricky Gervais is locked and loaded for his fifth turn as host Sunday night, and A-listers including Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, Sofia Vergara, Kerry Washington, and Leonardo DiCaprio have all been tapped as presenters.

Still, who will take home the gold is anyone's guess.

With a company-best 34 nominations, Netflix leads the competition. The streaming giant earned six nominations for Noah Baumbach's drama "Marriage Story," starring Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson, who also received nods in the respective outstanding actor/actress in a drama category.

The film is also a contender for the Best Motion Picture, Drama category, where it's competing against Netflix's "The Irishman." The Martin Scorsese crime epic earned five nominations, including Best Motion Picture, Drama, and a best director nomination for Scorsese, as well as best supporting nominations for Al Pacino and Joe Pesci.

The streaming service's "Dolemite Is My Name" earned a nomination in the Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy category, and a best actor nomination for Eddie Murphy.

Netflix also scooped up major television kudos, with four nominations apiece for both newcomer "Unbelievable" and awards-show favorite "The Crown."

Editor's Picks

Certainly, winning an armful of Emmys for show creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge puts her Amazon Prime show "Fleabag" in the pole position in the TV comedy category, but it's up against fellow award magnets "Barry" on HBO, Netflix's "The Kominsky Method" and Amazon's "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel."

On the dramatic TV side, newbie streamer Apple TV+ came out of the gate with nominations for its "The Morning Show," which earned nods for its co-producers and co-leads Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon. "The Morning Show" goes head-to-head with another Witherspoon project, HBO's "Big Little Lies," as well as Netflix's "The Crown," BBC America's Emmy winner "Killing Eve," and HBO's "Succession."
