The forgotten people of the 2025 Golden Globes

But where is Denis Villeneuve? Saoirse Ronan? Or the Fallout series?

The nominations for the 82nd edition of the Golden Globes gave pride of place to the French film by Jacques Audiard, Emilia Pérezwho will start favorite with The Brutalist on the cinema side, while Shogun And The Bear dominate the series. But some major names were forgotten by voters and will be absent from the ceremony on January 5 in Los Angeles. So who deserved to be there and was snubbed by the Golden Globes 2025?

The spectacular directors: Denis Villeneuve, Ridley Scott and Jon M. Chu

We can be delighted that two women have made a place for themselves in a very often male category. Two foreign filmmakers what's more, since the Indian Payal Kapadia (All We Imagine as Light) and the French Coralie Fargeat (The Substance) were nominated for the Best Director award. As much, there is reason to raise eyebrows, when we discover that the voters completely ignored the most spectacular achievements of the year, whether that of Dune 2that of Wickedor even that of Gladiator 2 !

The fantastic Fallout

While The Last of Us had received 3 nominations last year, this other adaptation of a successful video game did not have the same success. And yet, Prime Video's post-apocalyptic series was one of the great successes of the year on television, if only for the amazingness Walton Gogging as a Ghoul!

The phenomenon Deadpool & Wolverine

You can earn $1.5 billion, create buzz for two-thirds of the year, be praised by fans, and still be snubbed at the Golden Globes. Ryan Reynolds learns it the hard way and will perhaps be able to console himself with the cardboard prize for Best Box Office Success.

The talent of Saoirse Ronan

The young Irish actress shone in Blitzat the end of the year, for Steve McQueen. But above all, she was great in The Outrunin the shoes of this woman trying to stay sober. Her absence from the list of nominees is a real surprise. But we have to believe that the Irish were not popular this year, since Paul Mescal also was snubbed for Gladiator II.

Multiples of Joel Edgerton and Robert Downey Jr.

Both played with spectators on the small screen, in 2024. RJD played different characters in The Sympathizerbut not visibly enough, since the Oscar-winning actor d'Oppenheimer is not in the list. No more than Joel Edgertonamazing in Dark Matterone of the SF gems of the year, where he plays different versions of himself endlessly.

The accuracy of Danielle Deadwyler

False note finally, with the absence of the actress from The Piano Lessonbrilliant in the Netflix film Malcolm Washingtonwhere she bursts onto the screen in the role of this woman with a strong bond with her family's ancestral piano.
