This flashy nod would certainly make Tengen Uzui smile. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba Infinity Castle was nominated in the Best Animated Motion Picture category, which marks the first time a Shonen Jump creation has been recognized by the ceremony.

Snub: Katherine LaNasa

The Pittsburg ER should’ve been revived with a few more nods. While The Pitt’s Noah Wyle fittingly received a nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series, Katherine LaNasa’s rousing role as charge nurse Dana Evans wasn’t recognized.

Surprise: Robin Wright

Even the Golden Globes voters couldn’t peel their eyes away from the tense beef in The Girlfriend. Not only did the Prime Video series collect a nod for Best Limited or Anthology Series, but its lead star Robin Wright—who last won a Globe in 2016—also received a nomination for Best Female Actor.
