When the Golden Globes announced the 2021 nominees, there were certain names that one would have expected to see on the list for their stellar performances in 2020. But unfortunately, the award show snubbed too many of them.
The fact that the dumpster fire that was Emily in Paris got nominated and these films did not is nothing short of criminal. Here are the 5 best acts of 2020 that the Golden Globes snubbed.
1. Delroy Lindo in Da 5 Bloods
The Golden Globes owes Delroy Lindo at least a nomination for his performance in Da 5 Bloods. The veteran actor received rave reviews for his acting and even picked up a best actor award from the National Society of Film Critics. But apparently, that just was not enough for the Golden Globes.
2. Michaela Coel’s I May Destroy You
For a series that was on everyone’s lips in 2020, the Golden Globes did not even send I May Destroy You one bit. Inspired by the events of her own life, the limited series was beloved by critics, as one of the best TV shows of 2020. Yet the Golden Globes somehow failed to celebrate it, completely shutting it out of all categories.
3. Bridgerton
Honestly, not seeing the Regency-era erotic masterpiece from Shonda Rhimes’ first Netflix script was suprising to say the least. Bridgerton became Netflix’s biggest hit after its Christmas day premiere. But neither the actors nor the show got any nominations from the Golden Globes.
4. Meryl Streep
There’s apparently a first time for everything. Meryl Streep, the most celebrated human being in Golden Globes history with 32 nominations over her career, was snubbed twice; for her comedic turns in Prom (as a Broadway diva) and Let Them All Talk (playing a cranky novelist on a cruise ship with her two best friends).
5. Uzo Aduba, Mrs. America
Two-time past Globes nominee Uzo Aduba seemed a likely candidate for her third; after portraying real-life political leader Shirley Chisholm in FX on Hulu’s limited series, Mrs. America.
Instead, the only representative of that series scoring a Globes nominee was Cate Blanchett in the limited series/TV movie actress race; for her portrayal of the polarizing conservative Phyllis Schlafly.
