The Golden Globe nominations for 2019 have been released today and let’s just say that not everybody is happy with the final list.
While there are some very welcome surprises in the list of names and titles released this year, such as Kristen Bell as Lead Actress for The Good Place and the groundbreaking superhero flick Black Panther named among the best dramas to name a few, this year there are actually more snubs than well-earned nods.
Here are the biggest misses from this year’s Golden Globe nominations, proving once and for all that the world does not deserve the brilliant movies and TV shows that have come our way.
Emily Blunt/ A Quiet Place
Let’s kick off with this major snub because honestly, it just hurts the most.
Despite a completely original and well-executed premise, teamed with critical acclaim, box office success and a strong performance from every single cast member, the John Krasinski directed A Quiet Place was completely shut out of the nomination race except for one token Original Score nomination.
What’s most upsetting here is that Emily Blunt’s incredible performance has failed to be noticed.
Yes, she has been nominated for Mary Poppins Returns which she was also brilliant in, but that performance does not hold a candle to the raw, powerful show she put on in the nearly soundless horror flick.
It takes a special performance to convey the kind of horror Emily made audiences feel as she played out the scene of her character cowering in a bathtub while silently having to give birth alone as murderous creatures gathered around her.
