The 2024 Golden Globe nominations have been introduced this morning — and as standard, movie and tv followers are upset about some genuinely surprising snubs.
This yr’s record of honorees serve to remind us of what a powerful yr it’s been within the worlds of flicks and TV.
However the draw back of a lot nice content material is that many worthy performances that may have been nominated in another current have been missed by the Hollywood International Press Affiliation.
Right here’s our record 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 capable of recapture lightning in a bottle.
Not solely did the sequel flop in theaters, each Phoenix and costar Girl Gaga have been missed by the Globes.
Gaga did what she may with limp materials, and she or he soared throughout among the movie’s musical numbers. However immediately’s 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 chances prior to now. When Ryan first donned the pink leather-based masks again in 2016, he was nominated for Greatest Actor in a Musical or Comedy.
This time, nonetheless, the HFPA was much less impressed.
Reynolds and costar Hugh Jackman have been each missed, and the movie obtained just one nomination, for Greatest Cinematic and Field Workplace Achievement.
Now in its second yr, the class honors the yr’s hottest movies. We thought lots of of hundreds of 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 truth, she is likely to be relieved that she gained’t have to 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 function.
Jonathan Bailey — ‘Depraved’
Nobody was shocked by the information that Depraved scored massive with 4 nominations, together with nods for Greatest Musical or Comedy, Greatest Actress in a Musical or Comedy (Cynthia Erivo), and Greatest Supporting Actress in a Musical or Comedy (Ariana Grande).
However the beloved musical obtained some stunning snubs as director Jon M. Chu wasn’t nominated and Jonathan Bailey was missed for his work as Fiyero Tigelaar.
The British stage and display screen vet — who’s finest identified for his work on Bridgerton — stole nearly each scene he was in (no simple feat amongst such gifted costars), however as we acknowledged earlier, this was an unusually loaded yr by way of appearing expertise.
We’re certain Bailey has a few years of accolades forward of him, however immediately’s snub nonetheless has Depraved followers muttering curses on the HFPA.
Saoirse Ronan — ‘The 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 gained the 2018 Globe for Greatest Actress in a Musical or Comedy for Girl Chook) is likely to be pressured to endure a uncommon nomination-free awards season.
We’re certain she’ll be again subsequent yr.
Michael Keaton — ‘Goodrich,’ ‘Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice,’
Rounding out the record 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 appearing riches.
At all times a superb sport, Keaton could effectively attend this yr’s ceremony anyway.
All it could take is for one of many nominees to say his title thrice.
Hosted by Nikki Glaser, this yr’s Golden Globes will air on January 5, on CBS.
