Perhaps the \u201cWicked\u201d team<\/a> should have called on Madame Morrible to enact some dark magic on Golden Globe voters before nominations were announced Monday.<\/a> \u201cWicked: For Good\u201d wasn\u2019t nominated for best picture or best director, one of several surprising exclusions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Snubs at the Golden Globes seem even more shocking considering how many people do get nominated. With six nominees in most categories, separate nominations for comedy\/musical and drama, television and podcast buckets too, it seems there would be enough to go around. And yet that\u2019s hardly ever the case. Others left out include Joe Rogan, Sydney Sweeney and Gwyneth Paltrow, leaving room for plenty of surprise inclusions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Here are some of the biggest snubs and surprises of the morning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Yes, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande<\/a> got in (although Grande\u2019s inclusion in the supporting category is really stretching the limits of the word \u201csupporting\u201d), but this was supposed to be \u201cWicked\u2019s\u201d<\/a> year at the Golden Globes. Not only was Jon M. Chu looked over<\/a> (again) for best director, but the film itself didn\u2019t even get into the Musical\/Comedy category for best picture \u2014 and this after they so graciously accepted the weird conciliatory box office achievement prize last year. Was it because \u201cWicked: For Good\u201d<\/a> wasn\u2019t as well-received as the first? Either way, it teaches awards bodies a lesson about \u201cwaiting\u201d to honor two-parters until the second (see also: \u201cDune\u201d).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Julia Roberts\u2019<\/a> turn as a Yale philosophy professor embroiled in a moral conundrum in Luca Guadagnino\u2019s \u201cAfter the Hunt\u201d<\/a> was widely praised as a return to form for the star. But the film itself pretty much died on the vine \u2014 a critical and box office flop that seemed to indicate that it was out of the awards conversation entirely. And yet, same as it ever was, the Globes can\u2019t resist a high wattage star like Roberts in their midst.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n By the same skewed Golden Globes logic, it\u2019s actually kind of shocking that Sydney Sweeney<\/a> didn\u2019t get a best actress, drama nod. Her transformative turn as a boxer in \u201cChristy\u201d was well-received<\/a> at the Toronto International Film Festival and had awards prognosticators buzzing. It flopped at the box office, but in the most cynical sense, you\u2019d think the show would want Sweeney, who seemingly can\u2019t help going viral, gracing the red carpet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This one is more than a little confounding considering Netflix<\/a> doesn\u2019t report box office results as a company policy. Yes, \u201cKPop Demon Hunters\u201d unofficially topped the domestic box office charts<\/a> two months after hitting Netflix, but its theatrical footprint was truly limited. There was an awards qualifying run, a weekend sing-along release at the end of August and another over Halloween weekend that did not spark quite as much enthusiasm. Also not included were \u201cA Minecraft Movie,\u201d \u201cLilo & Stitch\u201d and \u201cSuperman,\u201d currently the top three movies of the year at the domestic box office. The math, as they say, isn\u2019t mathing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n And then there is the Chinese animated epic \u201cNe Zha II\u201d<\/a> which is actually the biggest movie of the year with over $2 billion earned worldwide, but because it wasn\u2019t a Motion Picture Association movie it\u2019s left off most charts The movie wasn\u2019t among the box office or the animated feature nominees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This one stings. Here we have an A-lister making a grand return to prestige movies, and somehow there\u2019s no room for Paltrow in the supporting actress category for her fiercely intelligent performance as a faded movie star in \u201cMarty Supreme.\u201d This would have been a win-win for the show \u2014 both for the sake of its own legitimacy and red carpet prospects.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThe Joe Rogan Experience\u201d is the most popular podcast of the year and yet somehow was not nominated in the new podcast category. Not only that, but shortlisted political shows including \u201cThe Ben Shapiro Show,\u201d \u201cPod Save America,\u201d \u201cThe Megyn Kelly Show,\u201d \u201cThe Tucker Carlson<\/a> Show\u201d and Candace Owens\u2019 podcast were also left off the list.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThe Smashing Machine\u2019s\u201d<\/a> prospects also seemed to wither with mixed reviews, but Blunt and, less surprisingly, Dwayne Johnson<\/a> both got through. Blunt is exceedingly well-liked, but the character of Dawn Staples was perhaps not the best showcase for her talents. Also, maybe this should have been Paltrow\u2019s spot?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n We need to get Benoit Blanc on this very silly mystery. Rian Johnson\u2019s third Knives Out movie got zero nominations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The lush HBO period series was completely looked over. Mrs. Russell would not stand for such a slight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Meanwhile, Katherine LaNasa won the Emmy for her performance as Nurse Dana Evans in \u201cThe Pitt\u201d but doesn\u2019t even get a Golden Globe nomination?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.celebrity.land \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Perhaps the \u201cWicked\u201d team should have called on Madame Morrible to enact some dark magic on Golden Globe voters before nominations were announced Monday. \u201cWicked: For Good\u201d wasn\u2019t nominated for best picture or best director, one of several surprising exclusions.
