HBO picked up up 15 Golden Globes nominations on Monday, but its best show of the year - and arguably the best TV series of the year, period - didn't land a single nomination.
"Watchmen," the new series based on the iconic graphic novel of the same name from "Lost" cocreator Damon Lindelof, was completely shut out in favor of less acclaimed shows like Apple's new drama, "The Morning Show," and the lackluster second season of "Big Little Lies."
"Watchmen" is HBO's most popular new series of the year with an average of 7.1 million viewers over its first seven episodes as of Thursday. It's also a critical hit, with a 96% Rotten Tomatoes critic score.
"Watchmen" wasn't the only great TV series snubbed by the Globes this year. HBO's final season of "Veep" was shut out, as was NBC's superb comedy "The Good Place." In fact, not a single broadcast network series was nominated.
On the film side, no women were nominated in the director category, despite acclaimed movies from Greta Gerwig ("Little Women"), Lorene Scafaria ("Hustlers"), and more.
Below are eight major snubs from this year's Golden Globes nominations:
