I used quotation marks for "snubbed" because I don't really consider her missing out on a Golden Globe nomination this morning to be that big of a deal. Only Murders in the Building received four nominations (Best Comedy Series and for its three leads Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez), and some thought Meryl would receive another nod for her supporting role in the series.
I, for one, wasn't surprised in the least. In fact, it didn't even occur to me that she would be in the running. While the Emmys have rules about screen time or number of episodes/percentage of episodes to designate acting categorizations, I don't think the Golden Globes has such rules. Meryl's role in season four was rather minor, and she didn't have much of a character arc. I don't rule out the possibility of a guest actor Emmy nod, but no sane person should really have been thinking she was likely to get recognized for this latest season.
The full list of nominations can be seen here.
Still hoping that we get some more confirmation on when filming is set to get underway for The Devil Wears Prada 2. And I'm even more interested to get some (any) casting news for The Corrections. Alas, silence.
The bigger thing to ponder is she will attend to honor Viola. And more importantly will she attend as Martin’s date? 🙂
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine Meryl wouldn't be the one to do it. Davis reveres her and it would be a nice reciprocation from 2017. OMG I can't believe that was almost eight years ago.
DeleteUnfortunately they are doing the Cecil B Demille and Carol Burnett awards during a separate dinner this time, so that's ruled out too.
DeleteOh wow I had no idea bout that. Strange.
DeleteI'm getting concerned for DWP 2 as Emily and Anne keep booking themselves up for 2025 and Emily recently remarked the situation as "rumblings." I imagine they're waiting on a script or negotiations are dragging on (as they did last time funnily enough!). Either way, if it's meant to be it'll happen! P.S. a few interesting possibilities on the Black List for Meryl, which I know always catches your eye, Jeff!
