It’s that time of year again — awards season! On Wednesday, the Golden Globe nominations were revealed to the world in preparation for the 78th Annual Golden Globe Awards. There were some surprises and some snubs. Notably, Michaela Coel‘s I May Destroy You was, unfortunately, missing from the nods. Additionally, Sound of Metal, One Night in Miami and Judas and the Black Messiah were snubbed for Best Motion Picture. A glaring mistake on the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s part.
Typically, the Golden Globes pave the way for the Oscars. The films/performers that snag a Golden Globe tend to win the next big thing — an Academy Award. As far as the nominations go, the Best Directors category is the most diverse I’ve seen in years. That’s not saying much, though. The TV nods are noticeably white. Not many people of color garnered nominations in that medium. It’s disappointing that awards season is still a popularity contest. Bigger names tend to score the most recognition as opposed to innate talent.
Below, you can find a full list of the Golden Globe nominations courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter.
