Netlfix’s nominations are spread across six titles, with The Irishman scoring ten (the joint second-highest total behind Joker), Marriage Story and The Two Popes on six, and American Factory, The Great Hack and Klaus on one.
Sony’s nods are dominated by Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood (also ten), followed by Little Women (five) and A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood (one).
Next is Entertainment One, with nine nominations for Sam Mendes’ 1917, and one apiece for Booksmart, Sorry We Missed You and Wild Rose.
Warner Bros. has 11, all for top nominee Joker, whilst Disney has ten, for Le Mans ’66 (three), Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker and Avengers: Endgame (both three), Frozen 2, The Lion King and Toy Story 4 (all one).
Last year Fox Searchlight dominated the list, picking up a company record 25 nominations in its final year of independent operation prior to its Disney takeover. This year it has six, all for Jojo Rabbit, however the joint Disney/Fox Searchlight total is 16, level with Sony.
Curzon Artificial Eye is also on six nominations, for Parasite (four), Only You and Portrait Of A Lady On Fire (both one).
