Snubs
That wraps up the film nominations. The most jarring snubs for me are Little Women and A Beautiful Day in The Neighborhood missing out on Best Drama. It’s a shocker that Robert De Niro didn’t make it in the Best Actor category, especially considering he carried The Irishman. Shia LaBeouf was unfairly snubbed for Best Supporting Actor AND Best Screenplay with Honey Boy. Perhaps the most glaring omission of all is the lack of a single female director in the Best Director category. Many thought Greta Gerwig could make it in for Little Women but the Hollywood Foreign Press doesn’t seem to be too high on the movie. Out of all the impressive female-directed films this year (The Farewell, Hustlers, A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood), it’s a shame that not a single one could make it in the category.
Surprises
I’m so happy to see Roman Griffin Davis get a nomination for Jojo Rabbit! It can be tough for child stars to get serious awards consideration but he 100% deserves it. Another surprise is the love for Knives Out with 3 nominations. The Two Popes is somehow kind of dominating at the Globes? It’s a movie that I’ve not yet seen but has a stake in many of the major categories. Should it be taken seriously as an Oscar contender? Time will tell. Cate Blanchett is another surprise with Where’d You Go, Bernadette? It was in theaters for a very short amount of time this summer, but you can’t count out Cate during awards season!
How do you feel about this year’s nominations? Did some of your favorite movies make it in? Or get snubbed? The Golden Globes will air on NBC on January 6th.
