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.

Horror movies never win awards. Silence of the Lambs is pretty much the exception.
And it happens. I mean, Spielberg made Jurassic Park, Hook, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Color Purple, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Twilight Zone: The Movie (well one segment at least), E.T , Raiders of the Lost Ark, 1941, Close Encounters of the Third Kind AND Jaws before he won an Oscar...
I didn't think much of A Quiet Place. It was an okay movie but didn't see what all the fuss was about. Emily Blunt did a fine acting performance though.
GLOW was a lot of fun, but it really wasn't that good.
I haven't seen Hereditary, Atlanta or Manic.
Widows was awesome, of of the best movies I have seen in recent times. Definitely should be wining awards.
Hereditary started out pretty good, but I found the ending a bit ‘that was it?’. Toni Collette was fantastic though, as she usually is.
Did you see John Oliver's take on A Quiet Place?
"It was fine, but it should have been called 'Nobody Farted For Over A Year'"
