"With six nominees in most categories, separate nominations for comedy/musical and drama, television and podcast buckets too, it seems there would be enough to go around. And yet that's hardly ever the case. Others left out include Joe Rogan, Sydney Sweeney and Gwyneth Paltrow, leaving room for plenty of surprise inclusions. Here are some of the biggest snubs and surprises of the morning."
"Yes, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande got in (although Grande's inclusion in the supporting category is really stretching the limits of the word supporting), but this was supposed to be Wicked's year at the Golden Globes. Not only was Jon M. Chu looked over (again) for best director, but the film itself didn't even get into the Musical/Comedy category for best picture and this after they so graciously accepted the weird conciliatory box office achievement prize last year."
"Julia Roberts' turn as a Yale philosophy professor embroiled in a moral conundrum in Luca Guadagnino's After the Hunt was widely praised as a return to form for the star. But the film itself pretty much died on the vine a critical and box office flop that seemed to indicate that it was out of the awards conversation entirely. And yet, same as it ever was, the Globes can't resist a high wattage star like Roberts in their midst."
Golden Globe nominations produced notable snubs and surprises despite broad category structures and multiple nominees. Wicked: For Good did not receive nominations for best picture or best director, even though lead performers Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande were nominated. Jon M. Chu was overlooked for best director, and the film failed to secure a Musical/Comedy best picture slot after prior box office recognition. Julia Roberts earned a nomination for a widely praised performance despite her film's critical and commercial failure. Several other high-profile figures, including Joe Rogan, Sydney Sweeney and Gwyneth Paltrow, were also left out.
