Snubs: First, Robert De Niro was snubbed for his brilliant performance in The Irishman. Adam Sandler was also snubbed for supposedly his best performance ever in the upcoming film Uncut Gems. Many people have been angry that there aren’t any women directing nominees and that the hit TV series Veep was snubbed. Also, the show Stranger Things (my favorite TV show of all time) did not receive a single nomination for its third season.

Surprises: One big surprise this year was that there were many streaming services that had nominated TV shows and movies. Both Netflix and Amazon grabbed multiple nominations. The Apple TV + show The Morning Show managed to get nominated for a few awards despite having a mixed critical reception. Another surprise was The Politician, which managed to get best comedy and best actor even though the show also had some mixed reviews. One of the biggest surprises was major nominations for the gritty Joker. It was clear that Joaquin Phoenix would be up for best actor, but most people didn’t realize that it was going to be up for the biggest award of the night. Also, The Lion King got nominated for Best Animated Feature despite submitting itself as a live-action remake.

The 77th annual Golden Globe awards will air on January 5th at 8 P:M EST and will be hosted by Ricky Gervais.
