The nominees have (FINALLY) been announced for this year’s Golden Globe Awards. And as usual, there are snubs and surprises:
SNUBS
– Meryl Streep (“The Prom” – the film and James Corden are nominated)
– “Let Them All Talk” (Streep’s other film, also with Candice Bergen)
– Sophia Loren (“The Life Ahead” – the film and original song are nominated)
– Cristin Milloti (“Palm Springs” – the film and Andy Samberg are nominated)
– Delroy Lindo (“Da 5 Bloods” – the film was completely shut-out)
– Ellen Burstyn (“Pieces of a Woman” – Vanessa Kirby is nominated)
– Amy Adams (“Hillbilly Elegy” – Glenn Close is nominated)
– Tom Hanks (“News of the World” – Helena Zengel is up for Best Supporting Actress)
– “Sound of Metal” for Best Picture: Drama (though Riz Ahmed is a Lead Actor in a Drama nominee)
– “Malcolm & Marie” (and stars Zendaya and John David Washington)
– “Supernova” (and stars Stanley Tucci and Colin Firth)
SURPRISES
– Jared Leto is a Best Supporting Actor nominee for “The Little Things”
– Rosamund Pike is nominated for soon to be released Netflix comedy “I Care a Lot”
– Sacha Baron Cohen is a Double Nominee (“Borat Subsequent Moviefilm” and “The Trial of the Chicago 7”)
– Love for “The Mauritanian” stars Jodie Foster (Supporting Actress nominee) and Tahar Rahim (Lead Actor in a Drama nominee)
– Anya Taylor-Joy for “Emma” (a film from so early in 2020)
– Sia’s “Music” and lead actress Kate Hudson are nominees
– “The Croods: A New Age” got the fifth slot in Best Animated Feature (it could’ve gone to Netflix’s “The Willoughbys” & “Shaun the Sheep: Farmageddon” or WB’s “SCOOB!” or DreamWorks “Trolls World Tour”)
On the TV side, glad that Jason Sudeikis and “Ted Lasso” are in the Comedy Series categories. Julia Garner is a nominee for “Ozark” (though she should’ve been recognized for her film role in “The Assistant”). And Hugh Jackman isn’t in the Lead Actor in a Movie or Miniseries group for “Bad Education”.
The 2021 Golden Globe Awards, hosted by Tina Fey & Amy Poehler, will feature special honors for Jane Fonda & Norman Lear. It airs live Sunday February 28th at 8pmET on NBC.
