deadline.comAlthough record keeping on the Golden Globes has been somewhat spotty over the course of their 82 years, it appears Netflix’s Emilia Perez just set one with a whopping 10 nominations making it the most nominated ever for a film in the Musical or Comedy category, beating last year’s Barbie and 1972’s Cabaret by one.
