Golden Globe snubs: Which one do you take personally?

Russell_lThe Golden Globe nominations are in, and while we await expert analysis from EW’s Ken Tucker and Dave Karger (keep an eye on our Golden Globes hub), tell us: Which snub hit you the hardest? There’s a lot to choose from. For starters:
• Keri Russell (pictured) for Waitress: Would it have been too much to include her alongside Juno’s Ellen Page? No room for two quirky indie pregnancy comedies at the HFPA inn?
Into the Wild: The only love the film got was for Original Score and Song. Sorry, Emile Hirsch and Sean Penn.
Ugly Betty: Only America Ferrera got a nod. Somewhere, a vacationing Michael Slezak is weeping for Vanessa Williams.
The Sopranos: Edie Falco was the sole nominee. At least the network dramas — Lost, Heroes, Desperate Housewives, 24 — weren’t the only ones missing from the top TV category. Which leads us to another question:
Which snubs were actually warranted?

    I’m getting progressively more and more annoyed as I read through this list.
    No best comedy nod for The Office?
    How are Across the Universe or The Brave One nominated for anything???
    What about the Judd Apatow comedy fest this summer?
    Californication? Really?

  • Martin

    Keri Russell was robbed!
    I thought the HFPA had a thing for her – they did reward her for Felicity, after all – but obvs, they have a short memory. I look at the categories, some have seven nominees in them. They so could have singled her out, too. If anything, Adrienne Shelly’s should’ve been recognized, but I guess Hollywood’s biggest party shall not bother with sentimentality.
    24 and Heroes deserved to be snubbed in a way, I guess, but not Lost. The third season qualified for the 2008 awards, right?
    I simply loved all the Pushing Daisies love, though.

    I love the TV nominations! I’m so glad that the Golden Globes are recognizing some of the true talent and not just swallowing what the networks try to pass as talent! If only they would watch The Wire this list would be complete! Hooray!

  • Bill

    Into The Wild was robbed.

  • denny

    Seriously, no Waitress at all? Nothing for Adrienne Shelley’s delightful screenplay, or the great performances of Keri Russell or Cheryl Hines?
    And yet Walk Hard gets nominated for Best Comedy/Musical? At the very least, Knocked Up should be there.

  • David

    I can swallow no nom for “Lost”…it took too long to get back in the groove. But “Californication” over “The Office” is enough of a travesty to make me want to punch my computer screen.

  • Laura

    Not on the topic of snubs, but–was Hairspray nominated for Musical/Comedy or was it not? The recap says yes, but the list says the fifth nominee is Walk Hard (Walk Hard??? Really???).
    I’m happy to see Sally Field from BRothers and Sisters, but what about the amazing Rachel Griffiths? And, for me personally, I would have loved to see John Travolta nominated for Hairspray.

  • Jakeem

    I haven’t seen “The Savages” yet, but it’s hard to imagine that the great Laura Linney didn’t merit a nomination for her work opposite Philip Seymour Hoffman.

  • Aino

    Pray tell, where in the heck is Ally Walker’s nomination for her amazing performance in “Tell Me You Love Me”?

  • mumblo

    Once and Into the Wild were robbed!

  • cd

    sooooo many injustices this year! Here’s my list:
    1) No Best Comedy nod for The Office
    2) No Best Drama nod for Lost (!!!) …somewhere Doc is weeping with me
    3) No Best Drama nod for Into The Wild (!)
    4) Nothing for Emile Hirsch or Sean Penn for Into the Wild
    5) Nothing for Tommy Lee Jones (he was incredilbe in In the Valley of Elah and No Country…)
    6) Keri Russell for Waitress

  • Sam

    wow…Keri Russell…I don’t know if I can come back from this.

  • TorontoTom

    Desperate Housewives has been GREAT this season! I thought they’d at least go with the same old nomination for Felicity Huffman. But none?!? Eva Longoria and/or Marcia Cross deserved recognition. Pushing Daisies lost me half-way through the second episode.

  • cd

    also…
    7) where is Knocked Up for Best Comedy? 8) Katherine Heigl for Knocked Up
    9) Once
    10) Laura Linney for The Savages!!!

  • jason

    rachel griffiths was nominated, i think i saw her name. anyway, INTO THE WILD was robbed. i can kinda see how certain things / people were not nominated, but WILD is the best movie of the year, hands down. keri russell was also shafted. all we can do is try to find a favorite nominee out of what’s left. oh well

  • Ali

    i’m disappointed that with all the “office” nomination love last emmy season, the golden globes didn’t pick that up as well. no rainn wilson? no jenna fischer? no best comedy? COME ON!

  • Sally

    I’m annoyed that there isn’t more “color” in the nominations, like how about Ruby Dee for best supporting/drama? or Tariji Henson for Talk to Me? or Don Cheadle for Talk to me? And yes, I’m annoywed that Keri Russell is being totally totally overlooked for wonderful work she did in Waitress. In fact, the screen play writer who was killed is totally overlooked for a darn good Waitress screenplay. She also directed.
    This is truly an outrage.

  • stephen

    Ok, I can see Jodie Foster, but Across the Universe? Wasn’t it panned by critics? And where is Keri Russel? And, was Hairspray nominated? The list says it wasn’t.
    P.S. Glad 30 Rock got some love!

  • Stacey

    I’m pretty disappointed by no best comedy nom for The Office. And it was probably silly of me to harbor even a hope that a Harry Potter movie might get such significant recognition, but I would love to have seen Imelda Stauton get a nod for Order of the Phoenix.

  • Ryan

    Seriously, with all the great movies he was in this year, NO nomination for Christian Bale? Did he cancel himself out or something? I was sure he’d get one for Rescue Dawn.

  • TorontoTom

    Hey Sally – ENOUGH with the same line every time they announce winners or nominees. “There isn’t enough COLOR”. The nominations are about acting. Not race.

  • MKS

    No nods for Keri Russell and Dana Delaney? It’s rather silly that the Golden Globes have a lot more nods in the drama categories, but they couldn’t easily add another name? However, I’m basking in all the love for Pushing Daisies, Lee Pace, and Anna Friel.

  • Chris G

    Into the Wild also got a nod for best song “Guaranteed.” so 2 isn’t too bad, bust still it should have been nominated in other places. and Walk Hard wasn’t nominated for Comedy/Musical, Hairspray was. Fix it EW!!!

  • Sam

    Keri Russell is my favorite actress of all time. In Waitress she made me laugh, cry, she was just excellent!!!!! I can’t believe it!

  • shonna

    TV snubs: Connie Britton and Kyle Chandler from Friday Nights deserved best actress/best actor noms; Friday Night Lights was robbed in the best Drama category. The Office was robbed in best Comedy. Rainn Wilson was robbed in best supporting actor and Vanessa Williams was robbed in best supporting actress. Lost should have been nominated in Best Drama.
    Movie Snubs: Keri Russell should have have been nominated for her beautiful and perfect performance in Waitress. Into the Wild for Best Picture; Tommy Lee Jones Best Actor. Jennifer Garner best supporting actress for Juno.

  • Todd

    The Golden Globes Website says that Hairspray was nominated for Best Comedy/Musical – not Walk Hard that EW is reporting – um, fact checkers anyone?

  • Ryan

    I should add, however, how happily surprised I am with all the recognition that Damages got. Best Drama plus nominations for Glenn Close, Rose Byrne, and Ted Danson. Of course, I’m glad for my favorite show 30 Rock too.

  • Sarah

    Why wasn’t Waitress nominated instead of Across the Universe? It was such a touching movie, the performances were top notch.
    AND Into the Wild! Come on, it deserved a nod!!

  • GOB

    I didn’t see any nominations for Zodiac, which is too bad. I also was hoping Jason Bateman and/or Jennifer Garner would have been nominated for Juno. I think it’s safe to say the only reason Julia Roberts is on the list is that they’re hoping she’ll attend the ceremony. I don’t think Grey’s Anatomy belongs on the list this year, either. At least The Bucket List was ignored, which to me looks painfully bad from the previews.

  • Haley

    How in the hell is Californication nominated over The Office? Lost should have been nomintated for best drama as well. I can understand the Sopranos being left out, but not Lost. That and The Office both being snubbed is just crazy talk!
