Golden Globes aims to come back with a televised event after being sidelined in 2022 by variety and moral concerns. The Globes return on Jan. 10 on NBC and Peacock (8 p.m. ET/5 PT) with a live show hosted by stand-up comedian Jerrod Carmichael.
Here are the significant movies and performances that the Globes gave a pass:
Golden Globes 2023 snubs:
Tom Cruise
Cruise has the highest-grossing movie of the year with the long-awaited sequel “Top Gun: Maverick,” named the best film of 2022 by the National Board of Review last week. But even with multiple critics’ prizes for the movie itself, Cruise was curiously passed over for the best actor nod from the Globes.
Will Smith
Smith’s Oscar apology tour is in full swing, with the A-lister appearing on late-night shows and red carpets to promote his just-released “Emancipation,” about an enslaved man’s tense escape. But Hollywood may not be ready to forgive the star just yet for slapping Chris Rock, as Smith was notably absent from Monday’s Globe nominations for best actor.
Jennifer Lawrence
The three-time Globes winner has slowly waded into public life after getting married and becoming a mom, returning to her indie roots with the quiet veteran drama Causeway. But the Apple TV+ film may have been too muted for voters, who slept on Lawrence’s best actress nod.
‘Ticket to Paradise
Julia Roberts and George Clooney revived the studio rom-com with “Ticket to Paradise,” which earned nearly $170 million at the global box office this fall.
Adam Sandler
Sandler has been working the campaign trail hard for his Netflix basketball movie Hustle. He delights the Gotham Awards with his laughable tribute address and reunites with former co-star Brendan Fraser for Variety’s Actors on Actors conversation series.
Keke Palmer
No one’s having a better December than Palmer, who announced she’s pregnant while hosting “Saturday Night Live” earlier this month. She also earned Best Supporting Actress from the New York Film Critics Circle Awards for Jordan Peele’s “Nope,” but was left out of the Globes nominations.
