The Golden Globes nominations delivered major surprises — from big snubs to breakout recognitions
Cynthia Erivo made Golden Globes history on Monday, becoming the first Black woman to be nominated twice for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. She earned her second nod for reprising Elphaba in “Wicked: For Good,” while Ariana Grande received a supporting actress nomination for Glinda.
Erivo will compete alongside Rose Byrne (“If I Had Legs I’d Kick You“), Kate Hudson (“Song Sung Blue”), Chase Infiniti (“One Battle After Another“), Amanda Seyfried (“The Testament of Ann Lee”), and Emma Stone (“Bugonia“). Only 12 Black women have ever been nominated in this category (prior to Erivo’s second nomination), and Angela Bassett remains the only winner, for portraying Tina Turner in “What’s Love Got to Do With It” (1994).
