SNUB: Sam Elliott – Best Supporting Actor, 'A Star Is Born'

There’s so much love for “A Star Is Born”, and Sam was expected to be included in that love. Sam just won the Best Supporting Actor Award from the National Board of Review, but the Hollywood Foreign Press couldn’t even be bothered to give him a nomination! His limited screentime probably hurt him.

SNUB: Michael B. Jordan – Best Supporting Actor, 'Black Panther'
Reuters
Another year, another Michael B. Jordan snub. Many were hoping that his ferocious performance in “Black Panther” would finally get him some love at the Globes, but after snubs for “Fruitvale Station” and “Creed”, Michael won’t be getting into the ring this time either. Killmonger would not be happy.

SURPRISE: 'Vice' Leads Film Nominees
Annapurna Pictures
It wasn’t a surprise to see “Vice” get noms for Christian Bale, Amy Adams, and to see it pop up in the Best Picture (Musical/Comedy) category. The surprise is that the love went even further into Best Director (taking a spot from Barry Jenkins for “If Beale Street Could Talk” or Yorgos Lanthimos for “The Favourite”) and Best Screenplay for Adam McKay. With those other nods, “Vice” actually leads all film nominees with six!

SURPRISE: 'The Kominsky Method'

Michael Douglas recently said that he’s getting more attention for this Netflix comedy series than anything else in his career. This guy does have a couple of Academy Awards, but there’s no denying that people are loving this new show. “The Kominsky Method” picked up a series nom, and actor noms for both Douglas and his co-star Alan Arkin.

SNUB: Ethan Hawke – Best Actor (Drama), 'First Reformed'
Michael Simon/startraksphoto.com
Ethan Hawke picked up three awards last week from various film critics groups for his performance in this disturbing drama that has Ethan playing Reverend Ernst Toller. He seemed like a shoo-in for a nomination from the Globes as well, but maybe they found it a bit too disturbing to mark Ethan’s name down.

SURPRISE: Charlize Theron – Best Actress (Musical/Comedy), 'Tully'

Charlize is no stranger to award season and some did predict she’d make it in for this performance, but it was an uphill battle. The movie came out in May (award season rarely remembers anything before September), and it didn’t do very well at the box office. That being said, Charlize was brilliant in the dramedy and the Globes didn’t want to forget her.

SNUB: Viola Davis – Best Actress (Drama), 'Widows'

Viola Davis is usually an automatic checkmark on a voting ballot, but in the competitive Best Actress (Drama) category, she couldn’t make it in for “Widows”. While critics loved it, the Globes might have been swayed by the fact that audiences are feeling disappointed by the heist flick.

SNUB: 'First Man', Best Picture
Getty Images
Since “First Man” was a preordained award season contender before anyone even saw the flick, many assumed that it would still contend despite its underwhelming box office. With more exciting choices in the Best Picture and Best Actor (Drama) categories, Ryan Gosling and his Neil Armstrong biopic have to sit this one out. Claire Foy still made it in for Best Supporting Actress though.
-
SNUB: 'Maniac'
Netflix
The hype for “Maniac” was huge, because of the pedigree on the project alone. Cary Joji Fukunaga was directing the limited series, and it starred Emma Stone, Jonah Hill and Sally Field. While audiences were split on the show once it was released, the Globes LOVE their big stars so it seemed like a shoo-in for nominations, but it didn’t get a single one.

SNUB: Michelle Yeoh, Best Supporting Actress, 'Crazy Rich Asians'
Reuters
“Crazy Rich Asians” did get some major love from the Hollywood Foreign Press scoring a Best Picture (Musical/Comedy) nomination and Constance Wu got in for Best Actress (Musical/Comedy). Many thought the film’s strongest chances lied with the matriarch of the film, Michelle Yeoh, but the veteran actress was left off the Best Supporting Actress list.

SURPRISE: 'Pose'

The Hollywood Foreign Press are big fans of Ryan Murphy, so it shouldn’t be a huge shock that it got into Best Drama Series and scored Billy Porter a Best Actor (Drama) nomination. But it is surprising the show got in over Emmy fave “The Handmaid’s Tale”.
-
SURPRISE: Rosamund Pike – Best Actress (Drama), 'A Private War'

With so many great performances competing for a slot in Best Actress (Drama), not many were expecting Rosamund Pike to get in over Natalie Portman, Julia Roberts, Toni Collette, and Saoirse Ronan. But Rosamund gets the last laugh on this one.
-
SURPRISE: Sacha Baron Cohen, Best Actor (Musical/Comedy), 'Who Is America'
Shutterstock
We should have known that the Foreign Press would want to recognize Sacha dressing up in disguise and making fun of Americans. It might be a different form of acting than what normally gets a Golden Globe nomination, but there’s no denying that Sacha’s various performances fooled a lot of people.

SURPRISE: Candice Bergen, Best Actress (Musical/Comedy), 'Murphy Brown'
Warner Bros.
Of course, Candice Bergen is no stranger to winning awards for her performance as “Murphy Brown”. She won five Emmys, and two Golden Globes during its original run. That being said, the revival hasn’t been that well-received, so people weren’t expecting her to return to the nomination list, but clearly the Globes loved seeing her back on screen as the TV journalist.

SURPRISE: 'The Good Place'

“The Good Place” has been gaining buzz every season as it keeps getting more clever. The Globes finally recognized the show with a Series nomination, and its leading lady, Kristen Bell. It is surprising that Ted Danson (who was nominated for an Emmy in September) wasn’t included as well.
