Amazon Beats Out Netflix For Golden Globe Nominations!

Netflix and Amazon will face off for a Golden Globe! The nominations for the 72nd Annual Golden Globe Awards have been announced and Netflix has received seven nominations and Amazon has received two. The nominations are seen as a huge victory for Amazon, which received its first major award nominations ever for its first series, “Transparent”. “Transparent” is up for Best TV Series Comedy or Musical and best actor in Comedy or Musical for Jeffrey Tambor. Not bad nominations for an upstart streaming content provider competing against televisions most respected outlets. “Transparent” will go head to head against Netflix’s “Orange is the New Black” in the best comedy series category, which also includes “Girls,” “Jane the Virgin” and “Silicon Valley.”

Netflix likely won’t be losing any sleep over this though as they won a Golden Globe for best actress in a TV drama with Robin Wright for her work in House of Cards. Netflix and Amazon hope to change the face of entertainment and it looks like they are slowly gaining traction and as a result shows are being produced and consumed much differently now than just a decade ago. Will Netflix and Amazon streaming services be able to stay ahead of the pack ten years from now in 2024? The changes we will see in the next 10 years will be exciting as who knows what the streaming effect will bring years from now.
