2. No When They See Us - The acclaimed Ava DuVernay Netflix drama was one of the nominees for Outstanding Limited Series at the Emmys, but at the Golden Globes, it was shut out entirely.
3. No De Niro - Robert De Niro has been considered an Oscar favorite for his performance in The Irishman, yet he failed to pick up a nomination in the lead drama actor category.
4. No Gerwig - Little Women's Greta Gerwig was surprisingly snubbed from the best director field, meaning there is once again not a single female nominee in that category.
5. No Veep or Louis-Dreyfus - After Julia Louis-Dreyfus came up short of an Emmys win for the final season of Veep, the Golden Globes twisted the knife by snubbing her from the leading actress in a musical or comedy series category. Veep itself was also left out of the top comedy series category.
6. Almost no Cats - Reviews for Cats haven't yet hit, but voters saw an unfinished cut. It didn't score a nomination for best musical or comedy, though, instead only getting an original song nod. "The [Hollywood Foreign Press Association] is the only group that got to see Cats before voting, and it still got zero nominations outside of song," Slate's Sam Adams tweeted. "That's ... not good."
