The 82nd Golden Globes will honor Hollywood’s finest and brightest tonight. However as normal, movie and tv followers are upset about some genuinely surprising snubs.
This yr’s listing of honorees serves to remind us of what a powerful yr it’s been within the worlds of films and TV.
However the draw back of a lot nice content material is that many worthy performances — which could have been nominated in every other latest yr — have been ignored by the Globes group.
Right here’s our listing of 2024’s most stunning snubs:
Girl Gaga — ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’
Followers had excessive hopes for the sequel to 2019’s Joker, a shock field workplace smash that earned Joaquin Phoenix his first Academy Award.
Alas, Phoenix and director Todd Phillips weren’t in a position to recapture lightning in a bottle.
Not solely did the sequel flop in theaters, each Phoenix and costar Girl Gaga have been ignored by the Globes.
Gaga did what she might with limp materials, and she or he soared throughout a few of the movie’s musical numbers. However the total snub (Joker 2 was shut out in each class) is simply one other within the lengthy line of embarrassments for a movie that was cursed from its conception.
Ryan Reynolds — ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’
Superhero fare often doesn’t make a lot of a splash throughout awards season.
However Ryan Reynolds‘ Deadpool has overwhelmed the percentages previously. When Ryan first donned the crimson leather-based masks again in 2016, he was nominated for Finest Actor in a Musical or Comedy.
This time, nevertheless, Globes voters have been much less impressed.
Reynolds and costar Hugh Jackman have been each ignored, and the movie acquired just one nomination, for Finest Cinematic and Field Workplace Achievement.
Now in its second yr, the class honors the yr’s hottest movies. We thought tons of of thousands and thousands in field workplace earnings would have been reward sufficient, however what do we all know?
Meryl Streep — ‘Solely Murders Within the Constructing’
With three Oscars, three Emmys, and 9 Golden Globes, Mery Streep isn’t precisely hurting for awards season recognition.
In actual fact, she could be relieved that she received’t must clear any more room on her trophy shelf.
Nonetheless, Meryl’s snub for her work in Solely Murders within the Constructing stings, if solely as a result of the display screen legend deserves recognition for placing in top-tier work in a uncommon comedic position.
Jonathan Bailey — ‘Depraved’
Nobody was shocked by the information that Wicked scored huge with 4 nominations, together with nods for Finest Musical or Comedy, Finest Actress in a Musical or Comedy (Cynthia Erivo), and Finest Supporting Actress in a Musical or Comedy (Ariana Grande).
However the beloved musical acquired some stunning snubs as director Jon M. Chu wasn’t nominated and Jonathan Bailey was ignored for his work as Fiyero Tigelaar.
The British stage and display screen vet — who’s finest recognized for his work on Bridgerton — stole nearly each scene he was in (no straightforward feat amongst such gifted costars), however as we said earlier, this was an unusually loaded yr by way of performing expertise.
We’re positive Bailey has a few years of accolades forward of him, however this snub nonetheless has Depraved followers muttering curses at Globes voters.
Saoirse Ronan — ‘Blitz,’ ‘The Outrun’
Subsequent up is Saoirse Ronan, who was double-snubbed for her performances in The Blitz and The Outrun.
On paper, each roles (a mom enduring the London Blitz and a recovering alcoholic who finds redemption working with endangered birds) sound like catnip for Globe voters.
However neither movie made a lot of a splash with critics, and thus, Saoirse (who received the 2018 Globe for Finest Actress in a Musical or Comedy for Girl Chook) could be pressured to endure a uncommon nomination-free awards season.
We’re positive she’ll be again subsequent yr.
Michael Keaton — ‘Goodrich,’ ‘Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice,’
Rounding out the listing is one other double snub.
Michael Keaton had probably the greatest years of his profession with stellar performances in each the long-awaited Beetlejuice sequel and the little-seen indie drama Goodrich.
Sadly, it appears the beloved Hollywood veteran is one other sufferer of this yr’s embarrassment of performing riches.
At all times sport, Keaton might properly attend tonight’s ceremony anyway.
All it might take is for one of many nominees to say his title thrice!
Hosted by Nikki Glaser, this yr’s Golden Globes will air tonight on CBS.
