Several contenders in this year’s Academy Awards race, including Marianne Jean-Baptiste and Danielle Deadwyler, missed significant nominations at the Golden Globes on Monday, while directors Coralie Fargeat (“The Substance”) and Payal Kapadia (“All We Imagine as Light”) received unexpected nominations.
Jean-Baptiste, the lead in the drama “Hard Truths,” did not receive a Globe nomination for best drama actress despite being ranked third in GoldDerby’s awards prediction standings and winning best actress awards from the New York and Los Angeles film critics associations over the weekend.
Deadwyler, who was previously considered snubbed for an Oscar nomination for her role in “Till” two years ago, missed a supporting actress nomination for “The Piano Lesson,” even though Variety had ranked her third in their predictions.
Two women who were not on the radar of GoldDerby or Variety’s predictions earned best director nominations: Coralie Fargeat for the horror-comedy “The Substance” and Payal Kapadia for the Indian drama “All We Imagine as Light.”
Fargeat’s film performed well, securing a nomination for Demi Moore in the lead actress category, which many predictors had anticipated, along with more surprising nominations for Margaret Qualley in the supporting actress category and for best screenplay.
Other notable omissions include Denis Villeneuve for directing “Dune: Part Two,” and Saoirse Ronan, who was eligible for two acting nominations for “Blitz” and “The Outrun.”
“Sing Sing,” which was ranked No. 1 in GoldDerby’s best picture predictions over the summer, received only one nomination for lead actor Colman Domingo, missing out on nominations in the best picture category and for Clarence Maclin in the supporting actor category.
Two unexpected nominees in the drama actress category are Pamela Anderson, who received her first Golden Globe nomination for her role in “The Last Showgirl,” and Kate Winslet for “Lee.”
