Here Are Your 2017 Golden Globe Nominations, Snubs And Surprises Included

‘La La Land’ continues its march

by Ben Barna

The nominations for the Golden Globes, Hollywood’s annual Oscar pre-game, were announced this morning, and just as nobody predicted, Deadpool scored nominations for Best Motion Picture (Musical or Comedy) and Best Performance by an Actor (Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy) for Ryan Reynolds. Wait, what? Deadpool was an inventive, R-rated take on the superhero genre that broke the fourth wall with abandon, but this was unexpected. That’s what happens when the voting body of your award show (that would be the Hollywood Foreign Press) is an international cabal of critics more interested in throwing a party than honoring great art.

The rest of the nominations, however, stuck mostly to script, with La La Land, fresh off its record-breaking weekend, leading the pack with seven nominations. It was followed by Moonlight with six and Manchester by the Sea with five. All three movies are considered the top three contenders for this year’s Academy Awards. The television categories were led by The People v. O.J.Simpson, with hits like Stranger Things, This Is Us, and The Crown all doing well for themselves too.

The Golden Globe nominations, which were announced this morning by Don Cheadle, Laura Dern, and Anna Kendrick, did pack a few surprises besides the Deadpool noms. Martin Scorsese’s religious epic Silence was completely shut out, as was Tom Hanks for his very Tom Hanks-y performance in Sully. On the flip side, dope for Hailee Steinfeld, who low-key gave one of the year’s top performances in The Edge of Seventeen and couldn’t be more deserving of her nomination for Best Performance by an Actress (Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy).

Lion and Hacksaw Ridge, movies that were well-received but not necessarily expected to be top contenders, landed noms for Best Motion Picture (Drama), keeping movies like Arrival (two nominations) and Fences (two nominations) out of contention.

You can see the full list of nominees, below, and catch the Jimmy Fallon-hosted ceremony when it airs on January 8.
