The Golden Globe nominations for 2022 are out! And they’re lacking some fairly large names!
While among the nods are nice to see — the love for Ke Huy Quan and Angela Bassett as an example — we couldn’t assist however discover some evident omissions!
Video: Quinta Brunson Gets Revenge On Jimmy Kimmel After Emmys Gag!
While there are definitely others we hate to see ignored — like Rhea Seehorn‘s powerhouse efficiency within the ultimate season of Better Call Saul and Antony Starr‘s difficult sociopath flip in The Boys — these are most likely the largest snubs of the 12 months…
Stranger Things
We weren’t shocked when Stranger Things misplaced its place as an awards present darling after that phenomenal Season 1. But Season 4 introduced again the drama with a vengeance! Not solely was it the perfect total season because the first, it additionally featured a shocking central efficiency from Sadie Sink, culminating in one of the crucial talked about TV moments of the 12 months. Dear Billy was so beloved it put Kate Bush‘s Running Up That Hill again on the charts 4 many years later! Not to say Noah Schnapp‘s determined longing that can dwell on as a meme for years to return. So many issues to like — however is it simply too late??
Nope
Can we imagine a horror film obtained utterly shut out on the Golden Globes? Well, YEP is the precise reply. Even if that film is Nope, the most recent thoughts-bending flick from Jordan Peele, it’s nonetheless horror — which nearly by no means will get awards love. But contemplating the symbolism-laden script has been so critically lauded, we thought it was a shoo-in for one more Best Screenplay nom for Peele. And heck, Keke Palmer‘s effervescent performance even scored her a New York Film Critics Circle award, so that wasn’t out of the realm of risk both! We marvel if the horror-hating Oscars will really feel the identical method…
Yellowjackets
With a 100% ranking on Rotten Tomatoes, Showtime‘s sleeper hit Yellowjackets is a showcase for some of the most talented young actresses of today AND of the ’90s! Melanie Lynskey, Christina Ricci, and Juliette Lewis are all on the prime of their recreation taking part in the survivors of a highschool airplane crash 25 years later. And their teen counterparts killed it as properly — as secrets and techniques get revealed in each the previous and the current. It’s a twisty thriller that appeared destined for award present love, and but… nada. That stings.
Stephanie Hsu
Where to start with this efficiency? In the madcap genius emotional rollercoaster that’s Everything Everywhere All At Once, the relative unknown Stephanie Hsu blasted onto the display with an unimaginable vary as each despondent daughter Joy and close to-omniscient agent of chaos Jobu Tupaki. We hesitate to even name it a twin position as she was taking part in way over simply two issues — she’s heartbreaking, terrifying, and every part in between! We hope if this efficiency doesn’t get her all of the awards that at the least it will get her the eye of each casting director in Hollywood!
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power
Oof. Amazon has already sunk a reported $500 MILLION into making The Rings Of Power, a Lord of the Rings collection not a lot tailored from the books however type of filling in gaps that have been by no means coated. While the present has its followers, it felt prefer it was taking part in second fiddle to HBO‘s House of the Dragon all year. So in the end, despite the fantastic acting, clever writing, and gorgeous production value, it seems you just can’t purchase awards consideration. Not even from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
What do YOU consider these snubs??
