7 Surprising SAG and Golden Globe Award Snubs

By Sarah Hearon on December 13, 2014

It’s almost that time of year! No, not Christmas–Award Season! The Screen Actors Guild Awards and Golden Globes both released their nominations this week and there are a few actors, TV shows and movies that were left off the list that need to be acknowledged.

1. The Mindy Project: The show, and the stars–Mindy Kaling and Chris Messina–all deserve to be recognized in the comedy categories. Mindy pushes the envelope every week and never fails to bring the laughs.


2. Kerry Washington: I’m surprised Olivia Pope doesn’t have this snub situation handled already. The Scandal star brings intensity and drama to the ABC hit, and her badass character deserves to be acknowledged.


3. Jon Hamm: The Mad Men star and all of his costars were left off of the SAG and Globe nominations this year. Don Draper would be outraged, because the AMC hit and the actors are just as good as ever.


4. Ben Affleck: Ben’s Gone Girl costar, Rosamund Pike, received a nomination for Best Actress, but Ben did not. Pike deserves it, but the thriller would be nothing without Affleck’s creepy and misunderstood Nick Dunne.


5. Lisa Kudrow: The Comeback has made a comeback, and Kudrow’s Valerie Cherish is the main reason why. Is it wrong to assume Lisa wrote a mean song about the SAGs and Globes a la Phoebe from Friends?


6. The Leftovers: HBO’s new series, which takes place after 2% of the world’s population mysteriously disappears, is different and provocative. The show should have been recognized in the drama category, and star Carrie Coon deserves a Best Actress nomination.


7. Channing Tatum: Foxcatcher, the story of Olympic Wrestling champion Mark Schultz and paranoid-schizophrenic millionaire John du Pont Mark, received a lot of love, but star Channing Tatum was left off every list. His costars Steve Carell and Mark Ruffalo can’t relate, as they were nominated at the SAGs and Golden Globes for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, respectively.
