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 every other latest have been ignored by the Hollywood International Press Affiliation.

Right here’s our record of 2024’s most shocking 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 in a position to recapture lightning in a bottle.
Not solely did the sequel flop in theaters, each Phoenix and costar Girl Gaga had been ignored by the Globes.
Gaga did what she may with limp materials, and he or she soared throughout a few of the movie’s musical numbers. However at this time’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 crushed the chances previously. When Ryan first donned the purple 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 had been each ignored, 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 tons of of thousands and thousands in field workplace earnings would have been reward sufficient, however what do we all know?

Meryl Streep — ‘Only Murders In the Building’
With three Oscars, three Emmys, and 9 Golden Globes, Mery Streep isn’t precisely hurting for awards season recognition.
In reality, she is likely to be relieved that she received’t must clear any extra space 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 legend deserves recognition for placing in top-tier work in a uncommon comedic position.

Jonathan Bailey — ‘Wicked’
However the beloved musical obtained some shocking snubs as director Jon M. Chu wasn’t nominated and Jonathan Bailey was ignored for his work as Fiyero Tigelaar.
The British stage and display vet — who’s finest identified for his work on Bridgerton — stole nearly each scene he was in (no straightforward feat amongst such gifted costars), however as we acknowledged earlier, this was an unusually loaded yr when it comes to appearing expertise.
We’re positive Bailey has a few years of accolades forward of him, however at this time’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 received 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 positive she’ll be again subsequent yr.

Michael Keaton — ‘Goodrich,’ ‘Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice,’
Rounding out the record is one other double snub.
Michael Keaton had among the finest 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 might nicely attend this yr’s ceremony anyway.
All it might 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.
