Read on for the most notable snubs and surprises of the 2025 nominations.

The Globes came through forEmilia Perez.Tastemaker seasonhad been quiet for the Netflix musical, which is notmanycriticscup of tea.

One way is by measuring the effectiveness of awards campaigns, which target both groups.

(See above.)

That also means that contenders repped by smaller distributors are at a disadvantage.

Or perhaps, asChris Feilsuggests, voters simply didnt know which genre to slot her in?

AlthoughHard Truthsran as a drama, its funnier than most of the movies nominated as comedies.

Unfortunately, I could write nearly the same sentence again today.

This is probably not Saoirse Ronans year.They say that when you have two quarterbacks, you actually have none.

Earlier this season, Id wonderedwhether her lead role inThe Outrunor her supporting turn inBlitzwas Ronans stronger awards play.

That she missed forThe Outrunis not shocking considering the indie drama hadnt made traction with critics.

But herBlitzbid was premised on Ronan being the face of an all-around contender.

Instead, Steve McQueens film blanked entirely.

So maybe we shouldnt write Winslet off quite yet.

But this is a silly award thats not worth making much fuss over.

Love forChallengers!The good thing about a spring release likeChallengersis that its not burdened with awards-season expectations.

Any nominations it does get are gravy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

(Advance screeners have been circulated to voters and critics.)

Some people were totally drawn in by it, while others found it dull and tedious.

If the Globes actually rewarded television directors, Cuaron surely would have been included.

But the HFPA recognizes that, unlike movies excuse me,films TV just directs itself.

Writes itself, too, which is why there are no prizes for TV writing.

(She was nominated last year for her work on season three.)

(Oh, hello, Eddie Redmaynes nomination forTheDay of the Jackal.)
