In the highly competitive world of television awards, Hulu's The Bear has emerged as a force to be reckoned with. This year, it has secured the most Golden Globe nominations for any series, with a remarkable five nods in both the musical or comedy series category and for its acting talents. Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Liza Cólon-Zayas have all been recognized for their outstanding performances.

Golden Globe Awards: A Platform for Recognition

FX's Shōgun and Hulu's Only Murders in the Building also made their mark with four nominations each. The Globes have always had a unique ability to shine a light on first-season shows, sometimes even before their industry counterpart, the Emmys. This year, shows like Netflix's Nobody Wants This, Peacock's The Day of the Jackal, Apple's Presumed Innocent, and Paramount+'s Landman also received mentions, adding to the excitement of the awards season.

Limited Series Nominations

Limited Series nominees include Emmy winners such as Baby Reindeer, True Detective: Night Country, and Ripley. Additionally, Disclaimer and Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story have also made the cut and are eligible for next season's Emmys. The highly anticipated second season of Squid Game is set to arrive later this month but managed just a single nod for Television Series – Drama.

Honoring Outstanding Performances

14-time Golden Globe nominee and three-time winner Ted Danson is the Carol Burnett Award honoree. He earned his newest nomination this morning for Netflix's A Man on the Inside. For the first time, the Golden Globes will host a separate event to honor the recipients of the Cecil B. DeMille and Carol Burnett Award winners at a gala dinner on Friday, January 3, two days before the main telecast. The Globes is also planning a luncheon to recognize first-time nominees later this month.
