Popsugar Entertainment Twitter Reactions Reactions to Diverse 2019 Golden Globe Awards Nominations This May Be the Golden Globes' Most Diverse Nominations Ever, but There's Still Work to Do 6 December 2018 by Mekishana Pierre Image Source: Everett Collection The 2019 Golden Globe nominations are officially in, and they definitely look different than they have in previous years. The 76th annual ceremony, which will be hosted by Andy Samberg and Sandra Oh, kicked off the Hollywood award season by shattering its record of diverse nominations. Some of the year's most popular films with non-white stars and directors have been nominated for several awards, including Black Panther (nominated for best picture and best original song), Crazy Rich Asians (best picture and best actress), BlacKkKlansman (best picture, best actor, best supporting actor, and best director), and If Beale Street Could Talk (best picture, best supporting actress, and best screenplay). The two best picture categories have four out of 10 nominees that have directors of colour, and the nominations for best director have two (Spike Lee for BlacKkKlansman and Alfonso Cuarón for Roma). Now, obviously, this doesn't mean that Hollywood's representation problem is fixed — it's only been a few years since April Reign coined the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite after all. While the Golden Globe nominations show that the ceremony has made progress in expanding the stories it chooses to highlight, we've still got a ways to go. There's a notable lack of women nominated for directing, as well as a shortage of LGBTQ stories represented (FX's Pose and Bohemian Rhapsody scored two nominations each, with Rami Malek nabbing a best actor nod). Take a look to see the range of reactions to this year's nominees.

Where the fuck is Burning in the foreign language category?!— Allyson Johnson (@AllysonAJ) December 6, 2018 31 / 58 rami malek started his career being typecast bc of his ethnicity and now he is nominated for a golden globe for playing one of the biggest rockstars in history pic.twitter.com/PMC7qBMehF— anna (@godsaverami) December 6, 2018 32 / 58 #GoldenGlobes foreign film: Belgium, Lebanon, Mexico, Germany, Japan -- good diverse slate(r)— J Don Birnam (@jdonbirnam) December 6, 2018 33 / 58 Oh my lord, if Black Panther and Crazy Rich Asians win the Golden Globes Best Drama/Comedy Motion Picture awards respectively, I will be so happy.— annie cardi (@anniecardi) December 6, 2018 34 / 58 1) Haven't had time to analyze the entire list, but it's great to see a diverse list of movies & actors being honored for their work. One of my favorites didn't make it in #Widows, but my other favorite did, #BlackPanther. Happy for #SpikeLee #ReginaKing #SandraOh #GoldenGlobes— womenatliberty.com (@womenatliberty) December 6, 2018 35 / 58 The most disappointing thing about women being once again shut out of Best Director at the #GoldenGlobes is how utterly unsurprising it is. It’s exhausting.— Shelley (@shelleydeegreen) December 6, 2018 36 / 58 Rami went from having incredibly small roles in movies and struggling to get roles because of his ethnicity to starring in one of the biggest movies of the year and getting a Golden Globe nomination for it pic.twitter.com/C4hjrlpScI— Emmy 👑🌈 (@snafumercury) December 6, 2018 37 / 58 Black Panther, Crazy Rich Asians, Constance Wu and Sandra Oh all got nominated for Golden Globes today. I am ECSTATIC— Karisa (@KarisaToy) December 6, 2018 38 / 58 Happy for Elsie Fisher and Lucas Hedges! Sad that Widows got shut out... #GoldenGlobes surprised by the diversity, but A Star is Born will probably win everything lol!— LifeStories (@LifeStories91) December 6, 2018 39 / 58 Black Panther and Crazy Rich Asians are both nominated in the Best Picture category in the Golden Globes! pic.twitter.com/DyHsVozpEs— B E L L A T R I X 🔭 (@TheAlienBella) December 6, 2018 40 / 58 Wow, Golden Globe nominees for Best Motion Picture (Drama) is Bohemian Rhapsody, Lady Gaga nominated for Best Actress, Rami Malek nominated for Best Actor, AND Crazy Rich Asians nominated for Best Motion Picture (Musical/Comedy)?

GOOD JOB GOLDEN GLOBES— Jarett Wieselman (@JarettSays) December 6, 2018 45 / 58 Only 1 woman (@BarbraStreisand in 1983 for Yentl) has ever won Best Director at the #GoldenGlobes. That stat isn't going to change in 2018, there are no women among the Best Director nominees this year. There haven't been since Ava DuVernay's nomination for Selma in 2014. pic.twitter.com/PtBTJTqchN— Women Film Directors (@women_direct) December 6, 2018 46 / 58 When it would be completely deserved but also be a historical moment for trans women of color?? Are we refusing to give the girls their things because it might make some people mad or did y'all truly not watch the same show I did? #GoldenGlobes— Jarrett McCreary (@boogityfranklin) December 6, 2018 47 / 58 4- ALL the women nominated for best actress comedy are white.5- ONE limited series was created by women6- Only ONE woman of color is nominated as best actress limited series or movie7- TWO women of color are nominated for best supporting actress limited series or movie— Melissa Silverstein (@melsil) December 6, 2018 48 / 58 Nominations are out and lit . #Diversity #GoldenGlobes— Sharrie McCain 🎭💋 (@really_sharrie) December 6, 2018 49 / 58 #GoldenGlobes2019 Directing: 0 Women. Screenwriting: 1 white woman as part of a team with a man. Has there ever been a #WOC #WomanofColor nominated for either? - would love to know #GoldenGlobes History: https://t.co/rmrlWyiYRj— Bitch Pack (@BiatchPack) December 6, 2018 50 / 58 Every accolade that @ReginaKing receives is more than deserved. Congrats on your #GoldenGlobes nominations!!— Jason Dugger (@jdugger2) December 6, 2018 51 / 58 Amy Adams and Regina King are up for two #GoldenGlobes against each other. Give one to each (preferably to Amy for #SharpObjects) and call it a day.Then start the next day by making a movie starring both of them and nominate it for everything!— Lyndsay (@TrynaMakeSense) December 6, 2018 52 / 58 And congratulation to @Lin_Manuel for his Best Actor nomination! 🤩 #GoldenGlobes pic.twitter.com/UCbxbldlTP— EMILY BLUNT DAILY ♡ (@emilyblunt_us) December 6, 2018 53 / 58 WOW! BlacKkKlansman, Black Panther, and If Beale Street Could Talk were all just nominated for Golden Globes for Best Picture.— Shaun King (@shaunking) December 6, 2018 54 / 58 When I see that Black Panther and Crazy Rich Asians got nominated for the Golden Globes this morning pic.twitter.com/xdcNOK5exx— Mark (@BlazinPinoy) December 6, 2018 55 / 58 These nominations were very telling, because the #GoldenGlobes are known for fawning over new women in TV, see Gina Rodriguez, Lena Dunham, Rachel Bloom. I guess this doesn’t apply when the women are trans. pic.twitter.com/i17juLSbk2— Đ𝕖𝕣𝕖𝕔𝕜📓✒️🎬 (@vesperview) December 6, 2018 56 / 58 BlacKkKlansman deserves all the golden globes thank you for coming to my ted talk.#GoldenGlobes pic.twitter.com/MbBLCgUnkr— Damla🏳️🌈🎄 (@makefitzhappy) December 6, 2018 57 / 58 It's great to see some diverse styles of animation in the category for Best Motion Picture – Animated.
