After a lot of anticipation, the Golden Globes nominations were unveiled this Monday, with Emilia Pérez leading the way with 10 nods. The absolute domination of this film wasn’t the only shocker that left people puzzled, and we’re bringing you some of the biggest snubs and surprises that left people scratching their heads.
Surprise: September 5
If you haven’t seen September 5, you’re not alone, and many have expected Blitz, Sing Sing, or The Piano Lesson to take its nomination for the best motion picture – drama.
Snub: Saoirse Ronan
Speaking of Blitz, it was quite a shocker to see Saoirse Ronan get no recognition for her performance in Steve McQueen’s historical war drama or the indie drama The Outrun.
Surprise: Sebastian Stan
Sebastian Stan received a lot of love at the Golden Globes this year, scoring two nominations for his work in The Apprentice and A Different Man.
Snub: Best Director
The race for the best director will be pretty tense, but it was still a shocker to see Denis Villeneuve (Dune: Part Two) and Jon M. Chu (Wicked) left out after giving us two of the biggest films of the year.
Surprise: Squid Game
The second season of Squid Game is yet to hit Netflix, but that didn’t stop it from scoring a nod for the best television series – drama at the Golden Globes.
Snub: Best Musical/Comedy Series
Many worthy contenders received nominations for the best television series – musical or comedy, but many amazing series failed to make the cut, including Reservation Dogs, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Palm Royale.
