The Golden Globes air on NBC at 8 p.m. Eastern Time this Sunday, and attention will certainly be on Netflix Inc. and its industry-leading nine award nominations.

Netflix’s NFLX, -4.18% bet on original content seems to be paying off. It snatched eight nominations for its original TV series, “Narcos” (2), “Orange is the New Black” (2), “Bloodline,” “House of Cards,” “Grace and Frankie,” and Aziz Ansari’s “Master of None.”

The streaming giant also walked away with a Golden Globe nod for its first feature film, “Beasts of No Nation,” with a best supporting actor nomination for Idris Elba.

Netflix has been steadfast in its commitment to original content, despite the high costs associated with it. The company has said it would invest at least $6 billion on original content in 2016. At the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Chief Executive Reed Hastings said Netflix plans to have 600 hours of original programming available this year. A stream of quality, recognizable content should help Netflix become a major player globally after launching in 130 new markets worldwide.
