Several notable names left empty-handed at this year's Golden Globe Awards, leaving fans and industry insiders scratching their heads. Ryan Coogler's highly-anticipated film 'Sinners', which was expected to sweep the awards, surprisingly didn't take home any major prizes.
In a stunning upset, Brazilian actor Wagner Moura took home the award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama, beating out big names like Oscar Isaac and Dwayne Johnson. The win marked Moura's first Golden Globe triumph, cementing his status as a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood.
Another surprise winner was Teyana Taylor, who walked away with the Best Supporting Actress award for her explosive performance in 'One Battle After Another'. Despite being the pundit pick and Amy Madigan's villainous turn in 'Weapons' gaining steam in the race, Taylor secured the coveted win.
However, some notable names were snubbed by the Golden Globes. Paul Thomas Anderson lost to Ryan Coogler for the screenplay award for 'Sinners', with many expecting Anderson to take home the directing Globe for 'One Battle After Another'.
The ceremony also saw a snub in terms of TV series - Michelle Williams took home the Best Actress in a Limited Series win, but was unfortunately unable to attend the event. Sarah Snook's turn in 'All Her Fault' had been predicted as the winner by award prognosticators.
Additionally, some winners were surprised by their own absence from clips shown during the ceremony. The one-hour show featured no clips from films, which left fans feeling underwhelmed and missing out on a taste of what these movies had to offer.
Finally, Amy Poehler made history with her first-ever podcast Globe win for hosting the popular podcast 'Smartless'. Her work was certainly deserving of recognition, but many were surprised by this particular award being handed out. The ceremony also featured some unique interstitial music elements, courtesy of DJ Usher, which brought a much-needed dose of excitement to the proceedings.
