DStv content selection garners 25 Golden Globes (2021) nominations

DStv has proved to be ahead of the game as the 78th Golden Globes officially released on Wednesday this year's main contenders, 25 of which have enjoyed successful seasons on the Sub-Saharan African broadcast satellite in 2020. This article not only captures award-winning international content that mesmerised South Africans in the past year, but a handful of shows local viewers can currently feast their eyes on - ahead of the February 28 awards ceremony.

The 78th annual Golden Globe Awards officially released this year’s main contenders, 25 of which have enjoyed successful seasons on DStv in 2020.

Mystery psychological thriller, ‘The Undoing ‘ is among a handful of internationally acclaimed shows that premiered on DStv in 2020. The series has stacked up the most nominations – a whopping four potential awards – which shouldn’t be a surprise given its all-star cast that includes Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant.

Another potential winner is ‘Music‘, which stars Kate Hudson, Leslie Odom Jr and Maddie Ziegler. ‘Music‘ will be available as a cinema premiere on Dstv Box Office from February 15 this year.

As Africa’s leading digital entertainment company and storytell, this major feat goes on to show DStv’s dedication in bringing the best of the world home, from the top studios and broadcasters around the globe.

Starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant, the ‘Undoing‘ premiered on November 30 and is available on Showmax

As Multichoice Group CEO Yolisa Phahle best puts it, this ensures that local audiences continue to have access to award-winning international content.

“The Golden Globes are a benchmark for the industry, and we are delighted that our content selection has garnered so many nominations. Our continued commitment to sourcing new offerings demonstrates how serious we are about storytelling.”
