ICYMI, Monday, December 9 was an important day for nerdy popular culture writers, Hollywood executives, and Kate Winslet.
And let’s be trustworthy, you in all probability did MI, as a result of that Monday marked the announcement of the 2025 Golden Globe nominations, and nobody actually cares about Golden Globe nominations.
I’m not even satisfied that Golden Globe nominees themselves care about Golden Globe nominations. Has Meryl Streep ever launched herself as “Golden Globe nominee Meryl Streep?” No! Effectively, perhaps, if it was after her very first Golden Globe nomination and nobody had seen Dying Turns into Her but. However anyway, the Golden Globe nominations nonetheless occurred and we’re going to speak about them, as a result of some folks (me) nonetheless assume that Golden Globes nominations are a barometer of Hollywood clout. Additionally, Dying Turns into Her star Meryl Streep was snubbed this yr. Against the law! However listed here are another snubs which show definitively that American tradition has crumbled earlier than our eyes.
1. Dying Turns into Her star Meryl Streep, once more
Contents
OK, so I’m going to speak about Dying Turns into Her star Meryl Streep some extra! How was America’s Main Girl ignored for Solely Murders within the Constructing? I can solely enterprise that her awards class was stacked, as a result of Streep is resplendent in Murders as Martin Quick’s flighty, fluttering love curiosity. In fact, Streep will seemingly star in 50 Oscar-nominated films earlier than the tip of 2025, so she’ll be tremendous. However nonetheless. Go away Meryl Streep alone!
2. Jonathan Bailey
The Golden Globes voters watched Depraved! That’s obvious within the film’s a number of main nominations, which embrace appearing nods for Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. Nevertheless, Jonathan Bailey – who performs the movie’s flirting, flouncing Fiyero – was snubbed. Snubbed, I inform you! That’s loathsome! Unadulteratedly loathsome! That mentioned, this dreamy, dashing and healthily homosexual Brit could have loads of success sooner or later so long as he retains doing what he’s doing (charming pants and panties off).
3. Michael Keaton
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice being snubbed by the voting physique of a serious awards present? *shocked Pikachu meme* And but, this one nonetheless hurts. Regardless of being a rotting, decrepit corpse, Michael Keaton is miraculously horny on this sequel. He even impressed me to jot down a listicle about hot ghosts. Plus, if Keaton have been going to get any awards love for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, it might have been on the Golden Globes. Nevertheless, the unhinged Hollywood Overseas Press has let America down but once more. That is how empires fall, people.
4. Horror. Simply, like, the style on the whole.
If the Golden Globes can nominate Emily in Paris for Finest Comedy Collection (sure, they’ve finished this earlier than), then they will nominate Smile 2 for Finest Musical. Smile 2 is as a lot a musical as Emily in Paris is a comedy, and any member of a highschool debate crew would again me up on this. (Really, I actually simply requested a member of a highschool debate crew and he mentioned that he may show this to be undeniable fact inside three minutes of extemporaneous talking.) Anyway, Smile 2 was considered one of my favourite horror films of the yr, and Naomi Scott is divine because the pop star protagonist, Skye Riley. Her character even has her personal Spotify page, which is additional proof that Smile 2 is a musical! Sigh. A minimum of The Substance was nominated – That movie was my favorite of any genre this year.
5. Fallout
Fallout is likely one of the greatest exhibits of 2024, fingers down, and but it acquired zero Golden Globe nominations! I can’t actually speak about this present with out spoiling it, however suffice it to say that the Emmys nominated this present sixteen instances, so the Golden Globes clearly muffed it up once more.
6. My Girl Jane
First, this collection was canceled by Amazon after just one superb season. Then, on prime of that, it acquired zero love from the Globes? That is, once more, the voting physique that nominated Emily in Paris for Finest Comedy, so I’ve no recourse however to view this as unmitigated disrespect. I’m uninterested in My Girl Jane being neglected by Hollywood and I’ll proceed to defend its honor! Then again, I have to preserve a few of my shade reservoir for January when Oscar nominations come out, so perhaps I ought to simply cool it. Anyway, My Girl Jane is absolutely good and the Golden Globes are silly. Goodnight!
