Golden Globes Nominations: 21 Biggest Snubs and Surprises
http://variety.com/2017/film/news/2018-golden-globe-nominations-snubs-surprises-wonder-woman-greta-gerwig-1202635491/

On Monday morning, the Golden Globes reinforced the notion that Hollywood is still a boy’s club. The organization, made up of about 90 foreign journalists, seemed to go out on a limb not to nominate a single woman for best director. Not Greta Gerwig (“Lady Bird”). Not Patty Jenkins (“Wonder Woman”). Not Dee Rees (“Mudbound”).

Although 2017 has been called the year of the woman, the Globes managed to overlook two of the biggest female-led hits of the year: “Beauty and the Beast,” the most successful movie of 2017 so far, was snubbed in the musical/comedy category, and “Wonder Woman” was shut out for any awards. Other surprises: Jordan Peele didn’t get a nomination for writing or directing “Get Out,” although his movie did receive two nominations (for best picture and actor).

1. Super Hero movies never get nominated

Beauty and the Beast: didn't see it.

3. In the Era of Trump...

...they may not have felt safe nominating Beauty and the Beast. It had an “openly gay character.” (Never mind that Trump fans favorite book is about a guy who never associated with women.)

2. Wonder Woman was a great movie

But it's not the sort of movie that gets acting or directing awards.

It will likely win some Oscars for art special effects and such. But those categories aren't in the Golden Globes.
