Los Angeles resident Joaquin Phoenix took home the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Drama for his portrayal of a comic book villain in Joker. Phoenix beat Adam Driver, who was nominated in the same category for Marriage Story, for the award. Now the question is which of the actors will take home the Oscar.
As The Irishman received several Oscar nominations, the question arose of whether or not Netfllix movies can or should be considered. While the movies are confined to the streaming platform, many of them have premiered at major fall film festivals in 2019.
One of the nominations already announced on the Oscar's shortlist is Diane Warren's song "I'm Standing With You" from the movie Breakthrough. Warren's song was performed by This Is Us star Chrissy Metz.
