The term seems so negative, as if an award contender who doesn't get nominated was purposely excluded.
When in fact, there's only so many spots for each award category, tons of films, and everyone can't get nominated. And those who don't get nominated, in my opinion, are rarely "snubbed."
E!Online's Joal Ryan claimed Matthew McConaughey was snubbed (Bernie, Magic Mike). Joan Ryan also claimed The Dark Knight was snubbed as well.
The Daily Beast's Snub List included Tom Hopper (director, Les Miserables), Jake Gyllenhaal (End of Watch), Anthony Hopkins (Hitchcock), The Hobbit, The Dark Knight Rises, and Quevenzhane Wallis (Beast of the Southern Wild).
Jake Coyle's Huffington Post is titled "Golden Globes Snub and Surprises," but Coyle while listing excluded nominees (such as Javier Bardem for Skyfall or Robert DeNiro, Silver Lining Playbook) does not directly in his artical identify specific exclusions as "snubs" so I will cut Cole some slack and instead blame the Huffington Post editors for their title selection.
Snubs? Nah - I think instead this year offers some better performances and films to choose from then the past couple years, and some films or performances won't make the cut. I'm okay with that and I won't call anything a snub, because nothing is a sure thing...at least not this year.
