Nominations for the 79th Annual Golden Globe Awards were revealed on Monday.
Early Monday morning, the 2022 Golden Globes nominations were presented in California and to the surprise of viewers, Snoop Dogg appeared to announce the nominees.
Yes Snoop Dogg, the king of cinema himself. Who can forget his touching and evocative performance as Huggy Bear in Starsky & Hutch?
The Drop It Like It’s Hot rapper did a bang-up job, for the most part. Snoop got a little stuck while presenting the best supporting actor in a motion picture category and he mispronounced Ben Affleck’s name.
After saying “Ben Effla”, he quickly corrected himself and added a cheeky “my fault,” “Sorry about that, Ben”. Which got a decent laugh from those inside the Beverly Hilton ballroom.
Affleck is nominated for his performance in The Tender Bar, George Clooney’s most recent directing effort.
Joining Affleck in the long list of worthy nominees were a few of Australia’s own; Nicole Kidman, Sarah Snook and Kodi Smit-McPhee.
The HBO drama Succession very unsurprisingly earned the most nominations for a TV series with five noms. If you haven’t heard someone tell you “You MUST watch Succession!” honestly, where on earth have you been?
The movies The Power of the Dog and Belfast were also steadily in the lead of film nominations with 7 noms each.
While the Award ceremony has recently copped a bit of slack over lacking diversity on the panel of judges, some people are just upset that their favourite films didn’t quite make the cut this year.
