Even before Mondays nominations, the81st annual Golden Globessprang to life with three big surprises:
1.
Theyre on CBS now!2.
Every category now has six nominees!3.
There are new awards for comedy specials and box-office achievements!
Gone is the old Globes insanity, replaced by something safe and respectable.
In other words, the Globes are becoming their ancient enemy: the Critics Choice Awards.
Read on for the snubs and surprises of the 2024 Golden Globes, ahead of the January 7 ceremony.
Will SAG and the PGA be kinder?
(Nashvilleholds the record with 11.)
Its hard to say which is the strongest.
Still, whats wackier: the Globes likingSaltburnor the Globes thinking it was a drama?
Same for newly minted Los Angeles Film Critics Association winner Rachel McAdams ofAre You There God?
And if its supposed to take artistry into consideration, why isThe Super Mario Bros. Moviein there?
Maybe they havent changed that much after all.
And yet I still went Huh?
when I saw1923on the list of nominees.
Thats right, Gerri got a nomination.A round of martinis for J. Smith Cameron for getting nominated forSuccession.
Gerri did everything for Waystar-Royco, and she deserves this unexpected honor!
But the Globe voters nominated Jason Segel for lead actor inShrinkingand then brutally rebuffed Ford in the supporting category.
The Globes are supposed to love their big stars!
Maybe they didnt bother because they know Ford couldnt possibly give less of a shit about being nominated.
More like noOther Two.The most consistent laugh-out-loud comedy of the last year didnt get any nominations.
Do the people nominating shows actually watch TV?
I mean, okay.
Not in the comedy category, not for star Bridget Everett, and not for her co-star Jeff Hiller.
Once again I am compelled to ask: Do these people watch TV?
So you add stand-up comedy as a category and then dont include John Mulaney?
And yet here we are on Golden Globe nomination day with nary a Baby J in sight.
This would not have happened on my watch, or Baby Js watch!
