Already an awards-season heavyweight, Noah Baumbach’s “Marriage Story” made a big move toward Oscar glory Monday morning, leading the Golden Globe Awards field with six nominations.

The tear-jerking Netflix divorce film is up for best drama as well as best dramatic actor and actress at the 77th annual Golden Globes. The film will compete for the top prize alongside gangster epic “The Irishman” (which picked up five nominations), World War I thriller “1917,” papal dramedy “The Two Popes” and psychological villain tale “Joker.”

Up for best comedy/musical are Taika Waititi’s World War II satire “Jojo Rabbit,” Quentin Tarantino’s 1960s fantasy “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” (which snagged five total nominations), murder mystery “Knives Out,” Elton John biopic “Rocketman” and the Eddie Murphy period comedy ”Dolemite Is My Name.”
