'Marriage Story' tops Golden Globes nominations with six

LOS ANGELES: Marriage Story, Netflix's heart-wrenching divorce saga, topped the Golden Globe nominations Monday with six nods including best drama, kicking off the race for the Oscars.

The Irishman, Martin Scorsese´s three-and-a-half-hour gangster epic, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Quentin Tarantino's nostalgic love letter to 1960s Tinseltown, were hot on its heels with five each.

The nominations traditionally see the stars and movies destined for awards success start to break away from the competition — the Globes are seen as a key bellwether for February´s Academy Awards.

The 77th Golden Globes, which also honor television, will take place in Beverly Hills on January 5, two days before voting for Oscars nominees ends.
