Fargo season 4’s Chris Rock, Ramy supporting actor Mahershala Ali, and I May Destroy You’s Michaela Coel were all left out, and those series have only one nomination (for Ramy Youssef) between them. Films with predominantly Black ensemble casts, including Da 5 Bloods, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Judas and the Black Messiah, and One Night in Miami between them had seven nominations overall and not one made it into the the best drama picture category compare that to the six total received by top-nominated film Mank. Overall it was the surprises that had us pinned in our seats more than the snubs, with actors like Jared Leto and Kate Hudson seemingly coming from nowhere to earn nominations.ĭespite some big nominations in acting fields for film and for best director, the biggest surprise of all was once-again scant representation of Black talent and titles among the nominees.

For the first time, men are in the minority in the director category, and there are two debut directors (Fennell and Regina King for One Night in Miami) for the first time in the category. On the film side, the big story is Promising Young Woman, which had a… well, promising start to awards season, picking up four nominations, including Best Director for Emerald Fennell. America (aside from Cate Blanchett’s acting nomination) and I May Destroy You seem almost unforgivable. While we feel pretty good about the accuracy of most of our predictions, nominations for Ratched and Emily In Paris came as a surprise, and the overall snubs of Mrs. The 78th annual Golden Globe Awards nominations announced Wednesday morning held some snubs and surprises that stunned us and many industry watchers.
