 The Hollywood Foreign Press Association showered awards praise on "Vice," which received six Golden Globe nominations on Thursday. Last year’s winner, Brown, was fully expected to at least get a nomination once again for This Is Us. Let’s take a look at some of the biggest snubs and surprises from this morning’s nominations. Mary Poppins’s Magic Burns Out 
 
 Mary Poppins Returns was richly rewarded Thursday: for Emily Blunt’s and (surprisingly?) Though Marc Shaiman's score earned a nomination, none of the songs in the musical, including "The Place Where Lost Things Go," were recognized. We’ll have more of surprises along the way. for his much-lauded turn as Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar Live, and even Robin Wright’s complex tightrope act behind the scenes of a House of Cards in upheaval didn't impress Globes voters. Instead, there was a minor surprise on the list: Outlander’s Caitriona Balfe, who was nominated last year, but wasn’t necessarily expected to make the list this time given the intense competition from newcomers like Oh and Homecoming‘s Julia Roberts. But so did her 24-year-old breakout co-star, Stephan James—beating out Costner to enter a bizarre, but fascinating category for best actor in a drama series. Edging out worthies like Bob Odenkirk, Sterling K. Brown, Jeffrey Wright, and Globes perennial favorite Liev Schreiber are James, Jason Bateman, Emmy winner Matthew Rhys, and two more big surprises: Billy Porter from FX's queer ballroom drama Pose, and Richard Madden from Netflix's word-of-mouth hit Bodyguard. Five-time nominee Schreiber was fully expected to get nominated once again (due to the HFPA’s curious love for Showtime’s Ray Donovan). Atlanta (FX): The second season of the innovative rap-scene comedy, despite being an Emmy favorite, was surprisingly shut out of the top comedy slots (though star Donald Glover was nominated). Neither were the later seasons of This Is Us, Westworld, and The Handmaid’s Tale, reflecting the Globes’ interest in what’s up and coming. There was an upside: The Good Place (NBC) finally broke into this category with its first Globes comedy series nomination, and star Kristen Bell was nominated for lead actress in a comedy too.

– Golden Globe nominations were announced Thursday, and along with a surprise frontrunner, there were a number of snubs. USA Today, Entertainment Weekly, and Vanity Fair are among the outlets running them down: Ryan Gosling was not nominated as best actor for his role as Neil Armstrong in First Man—which was also not nominated as best drama. Black Panther was nominated for best drama, but stars Chadwick Boseman and Michael B. Jordan were denied best actor and best supporting actor nods. Atlanta, Donald Glover's FX series, won best comedy series at last year's Golden Globes, but wasn't even nominated this year.
