And the Golden Globe goes to... This Miniseries Everyone's Wild About But You're Late to the Party On.
Yep, it's that time of year once more, with the first big annual event of awards season arriving Jan. 5, when we watch actor after director after writer rush to the stage to thank their people and praise a piece of work you're probably yet to even know existed.
No category is more like this for most people than the award for Best Television Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television. Sure, you saw the trailer go around once, or maybe your ahead-of-the-curve friend was talking about it at dinner last Wednesday, but what actually is it and where can you actually stream it?

Catch 22
Joseph Heller's classic 1961 satirical war novel comes to the streaming screen in this six-part Hulu original series. Co-directed, executive produced, and starring George Clooney as the General Scheisskopf, Catch 22 flies through Heller's skewering of the absurd, frustrating, and uncompromising nature of war. Though it looks like a comedy, as Mashable's Proma Khosla writes in this review, "Make no mistake, friends, this is a war epic, and a searing, caustic commentary from the men inside it." Alongside the overarching Globe nomination for the series, Girls star Christopher Abbott was nominated for a best actor Globe for his role as protagonist John Yossarian.

Fosse/Verdon
Life is a cabaret, old chum, especially for Michelle Williams and Sam Rockwell, who earned Globe nominations for their portrayals of legendary Broadway duo Gwen Verdon and Bob Fosse in this eight-part BBC/FX series. Fosse/Verdon high kicks its way into the partnership between the iconic choreographer/director behind the likes of Cabaret and All That Jazz, and the four-time Tony Winning dancer and all-round stage star. Williams ended up taking home the gold for best actress, and used her acceptance speech to present a strong message.

The Loudest Voice
Russell Crowe won best actor for his role as Fox News founder and former CEO Roger Ailes, who resigned in 2016 after being accused of sexual assault. Showtime's seven-part limited series, The Loudest Voice, was based on Gabriel Sherman's 2014 biography and delves into a decade over which Ailes launches Fox News in 1996 before his resignation, all while becoming a de facto leader of the Republican Party. Mashable's Proma Khosla dubbed the series "political masochism theater."

Based on a true story, the gripping eight-part crime series tracks two detectives looking into the case of a young woman, Marie, who was charged with lying about having been raped.
