5 people and shows who don't deserve their Golden Globe nominations - sorry

Corden played Barry Glickman, a gay Broadway star, in Ryan Murphy's "The Prom," which focuses on a group of theater actors who try to give a lesbian teenager and her girlfriend the prom of their dreams.

But many took issue with the fact that Corden, who's a straight British man, played Glickman, an out gay character — especially when other queer stars could have done a better job.

There was also the problem of Corden's performance, which many people thought perpetuated stereotypes of gay men as flashy, over-the-top, and brash.

The criticisms of Corden's unoriginal performance are definitely valid.

Add in how, in comparison to costars Meryl Streep and Nicole Kidman, his acting was just so-so, it's definitely fair to say that Corden was undeserving of his Golden Globe nomination this year.

Look, no one's denying that Sorkin is talented — he's written for some of the best films and TV shows in recent years, including "The Social Network," "Moneyball," and "The West Wing."

Sorkin is definitely worthy of his nomination for the screenplay of "The Trial of the Chicago 7," which follows a group of Vietnam war protesters in the late 1960s.

But to nominate him for director on top of that just feels excessive.

He proved himself perfectly capable of writing and directing with 2017's "Molly's Game," but "The Trial of the Chicago 7" wasn't exactly new filmmaking territory for Sorkin, rendering his nomination unnecessary.

As entertainment writer Hunter Harris hilariously put it on Twitter, "aaron sorkin getting nominated for directing is like bohemian rhapsody getting nominated for editing."

Widely derided by critics upon its release last year, Netflix's "Emily in Paris" earned more Golden Globe nominations than it should have.

The show focuses on the non-adventures of the titular Emily (Collins) as she adjusts to life in France — a far cry from her corn fed Midwestern upbringing.

There is, of course, a love interest, and a series of faux-pas throughout the show that the audience is meant to find hilarious and heartwarming.

Collins is a fine actress, but her performance on "Emily in Paris" is hardly worthy of a nomination for best actress in a musical or comedy show.

And considering the fact that other actresses, including women of color like Michaela Coel of "I May Destroy You" and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan of "Never Have I Ever," were snubbed, Collins' nomination feels particularly insulting.

Given the incredible array of shows that were eligible for Golden Globes this year — including "Never Have I Ever," "I May Destroy You," and Netflix megahit "Bridgerton" — nominating "Emily in Paris" for best musical or comedy just seems wrong.

The show is definitely fine if you're looking to turn off your brain and escape into an idealized version of Paris for a few hours, but compared to the series mentioned above, it offers little to no commentary on real-world issues, and lacks the charm of historical dramas like "Bridgerton."

For some reason, however, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association deemed "Emily in Paris" worthy of a nomination, even though it's definitely not.

Set in rural Appalachia and following three generations of family, Ron Howard's "Hillbilly Elegy" was panned by critics upon its release, with many saying that Close and costar Amy Adams' performances were clichéd and over-the-top.

Close definitely doesn't do much with her character of Mamaw, who's essentially a walking, talking embodiment of what a city-dwelling film director thinks an Appalachian grandmother is like.

Ultimately, as the Guardian noted in their review, Close does little more than bestow homegrown bits of wisdom onto her family members.

She's a talented actress for sure, but Close's performance in "Hillbilly Elegy" wasn't worthy of a Golden Globe nomination by any means.
