Golden Globes 2024: Snubs, surprises and the unexpected winners!
The Golden Globes are one of the most highly anticipated Award nights in the showbiz world. Following years of controversy and accusations of racism, this revamped version of the award night returned at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Sunday evening with much glitz and glamour. The night honoured the best of cinema presented to the audience in the year 2023, but it was able to satisfy all the moviegoers who saw their favourite contender losing.
Much like every year, the award night saw some history-making moments, some of the major releases of the year got snubbed and honoured those who no one even noticed on the nomination list. Earning big bucks, Greta Gerwig's Barbie, which was one of the biggest releases, was leading the nominations with nine nods, but unfortunately, ended up with only two Golden Globes.
As we wrap the award night, here we have compiled those who got snubbed and a few surprise inclusions.
Elizabeth Debicki - Surprise
With her poignant and nuanced performance as the people's princess Diana, Elizabeth Debicki took the biggest award of her life, the Golden Globes in the Best Supporting Actress category. While, it was a big win for Debicki, for the world it was a surprise. The Crown star has beaten veteran actress Meryl Streep, Only Murders in the Building, who many predicted was the clear winner of this category.
