preview

(CNN)It's a Golden Globes first, but hopefully, not a Golden Globes last. For the first time in the award show's history, three female directors earned nominations for best director on Wednesday, bringing calls for increased recognition for the work of women in Hollywood to an important moment. Nominees Chloé Zhao ("Nomadland"), Emerald Fennell ("Promising Young Woman") and Regina King ("One Night in Miami") bring the total number of woman nominated in the category in the Globes' 78-year history to eight. The other best director nominees this year were David Fincher ("Mank") and Aaron Sorkin ("The Trial of the Chicago 7").
