“Golden Globes are a joke of an award,” one user wrote bluntly. Another added, “Golden Globes are out of their minds.” Some remarked, “There are clear favorites here. Some people always get nominated no matter how good/bad they are🧐.”
Some netizens voiced frustration over omissions and questioned the inclusivity of the nominations. One user criticized the lack of recognition for “Dune: Part 2” and “Challengers,” arguing these films made a significant impact.

Others expressed disappointment over snubs, including Hulu’s “English Teacher,” which they believed deserved recognition in the comedy categories.
