Surprise: Snoop Dog
The biggest surprise that HFPA had in store came at the very beginning of the nomination announcement when Snoop Dog stepped out to declare the contenders.
Snub: Selena Gomez
Steve Martin and Martin Short both received acting nods for Only Murders in the Building. Selena Gomez was left out, which is quite a shocker since HFPA has a habit of nominating big-name contenders.
Surprise: Licorice Pizza
Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest ode to San Fernando Valley fully deserves all the praise it’s getting, but it was pretty surprising to see newcomers Alana Haim and Cooper Hoffman get their acting nods.
Snub: WandaVision
Paul Bettany and Elizabeth Olsen received Golden Globe nods for their work on WandaVision, but that wasn’t the case with their co-star Kathryn Hahn—or the series itself.
Surprise: Foreign Shows
Netflix projects received 17 nods for Golden Globes this year, and its foreign series—including Lupin and Squid Game—had a surprisingly good showing.
Snub: Matthew Macfadyen
Succession topped the list of nominees in TV categories, but the absence of Matthew Macfadyen is pretty jarring because most fans of the show would agree he’s the MVP of the latest season.

]]>If you still haven’t seen Lupin on Netflix, now’s the perfect time to put it on your watch list. This French mystery series is projected to become one of the biggest hits to date on this streaming service, but what is it actually about, and how did it manage to find such overnight success?
Intriguing Plot
According to the official logline, this series centers on gentleman thief Assane Diop (Omar Sy) who sets out to avenge his father for an injustice inflicted by a wealthy family, drawing inspiration from the adventures of the iconic character Arsène Lupin.
Critical Acclaim
The critics have been kind to Lupin since its premiere on January 8th, and it currently holds a 94% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Slate’s Karen Han even described it as “an early front-runner to steal a spot as one of the best shows of the year.”
International Hit
Only a few days after its premiere, Lupin became the first French series to rank among the top 10 of Netflix in the United States. It’s also projected to reach 70 million in its first 28 days on this streaming platform, beating the likes of Bridgerton and The Queen’s Gambit.
Future Plans
It also doesn’t hurt Lupin’s case that its five addictive episodes are easy to go through, but there’s more on the way. Part 2 is coming to Netflix later this year, but it still doesn’t have an official release date.
