Golden Globes 2021: Biggest Surprises & The Worst Snubs
3. Seriously, James Corden For Lead Actor!
The equivalent of nominating Gary Busey for almost anything. How James Corden has been nominated for a Golden Globe in acting is a shock and total mystery for those who were predicting nominations.
The Prom, which has two nominations to its name, wasn't well-received by critics, it wasn't well-received by audiences, and James Corden was condemned by the LGBTQ+ community for his atrocious portrayal of a gay man. It has even led some to say that gay characters should only be played by gay actors. When you get that level of flack by an entire community, you stick your head in the sand and pray that you still have a career when you pull your head out.
So, what does The Hollywood Foreign Press do? They nominate him. It is perhaps the biggest failure of judgement by an award-giving association since Crash won Best Picture. Though something says that this might end up being far worse.
