After the tumultuous year that’s just ended, you may feel hard pressed to be surprised by anything at this point, but the Golden Globes this morning aimed to prove that notion incorrect
Offering pre-dawn distraction to insomniacs everywhere, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association today rolled out the nominations for the seemingly semi-virtual February 28 bicoastal ceremony on NBC. Having skipped hosting duties for all of Donald Trump’s reign of terror and error, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are back this year for the fourth time, their first since 2015.
Additionally, the nominations were inevitably going to be more intriguing than usual after the coronavirus pandemic having played havoc with production schedules. Heavyweights like last year’s big winners Succession and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel were subsequently out of the mix.
In that context, and with a minor audio glitch, past Globes victors Sarah Jessica Parker and Taraji P. Henson announced the contenders from their respective homes. It proved to be a very good morning for the likes of One Night In Miami director Regina King, Sacha Baron Cohen and Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, The Crown, The Mandalorian and Sound of Metal’s Riz Ahmed.
Also, Norman Lear and Jane Fonda already picked some HFPA spring in their step, even before today. The living legends will be the recipients of Carol Burnett Award and the Cecil B de Mille Award for Hollywood Impact respectively at the 78th Golden Globes later this month. However, for some living legends like Sophia Loren, Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep, some living legends to come and others overlooked, this morning was a disappointment
Here are the big snubs and surprises for this year’s Globes nominations from the less than 90-member HFPA:
Tom Hanks – The multi-Oscar winner and last year’s Cecil B de Mill winner was braving the Battle of the Atlantic in Greyhound and post-Civil War America in News of the World, but his double shot fired blanks with the HFPA today
I May Destroy You – Michaela Cole’s harrowing and sometimes hilarious drama of sexual assault and the aftermath from the BBC and HBO was one of the most praised shows of last year and was tops on my Top 10 New Shows of 2020. Crickets this morning when it came to Globes nominations, damning crickets
Spike Lee – Da 5 Bloods had outstanding performances from Delroy Lindo, Clarke Peters and Chadwick Boseman, among others, but that just wasn’t enough for the passionate Vietnam War film or its trailblazing director to receive any love. Shocker.
Zendaya – The Euphoria star’s outstanding performance with John David Washington in lockdown film Malcolm & Mare was totally locked out
Meryl Streep – Tell me, after 32 past Globes nominations, how do you have an award show and not nominate Meryl?
Bridgerton – The complete absence of the Shonda Rhymes produced Regency era blockbuster from today’s nominations proves the Golden Globes isn’t just a popularity contest. Otherwise, Netflix’s Bridgerton would have cleaned up in all categories this morning and likely on February 28
Sophia Loren – The screen icon returned with the acclaimed The Life Ahead. The Netflix film snagged Best Foreign Language Film and Best Original Song noms, so it’s a total head scratcher why its megastar herself proved a dead end with Globes voters.
Never Have I Ever – The Mindy Kaling co-created coming of age drama was a barrier breaking worldwide hit on Netflix, but nada in terms of nominations
Al Pacino – In a long career full of highs, Pacino’s nomination today for the unintentionally comically Hunters seems like bad joke and a big surprise – or not when you look at the Globes’ history.
Steven Yeun – Sundance 2020 Grand Jury prize winner Minari got a big thumbs up from the AFI and the National Board of Review and a Best Foreign Language Film nomination this morning – yet the film’s leading man was left empty handed today.
The Midnight Sky – Besides a Best Original Score, Motion Picture nod, it looks like it was pretty dark for the George Clooney directed and starring Netflix post-apocalyptic drama
Chris Rock – The comedian was at his dramatic best as the ambitious Kansas City crime boss in the fourth season of Fargo. Turns out in Rock’s case, crime doesn’t pay with Globes’ voters
Tenet – The Christopher Nolan directed thriller was the only big game in town and theaters during the first part of the pandemic. When it came to major categories, today, like the movie’s main plot, it felt like that past never happened.
Lakeith Stanfield – Daniel Kaluuya rightly received a Best Supporting Actor nomination for his performance as Black Panther leader Fred Hampton. So where was the nod for his Judas and the Black Messiah co-star? You know its Black History Month, right?
Ben Affleck – There was a big push for The Way Back actor. A push that hit a no recognition roadblock this AM
