The 2024 Golden Globes nominations are out and there are some surprising snubs — with A Thousand and One, Origin, and Swarm shut out of the competition.
After picking up a Gotham Award, the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, and two Independent Spirit Awards nominations, A Thousand and One was snubbed by Golden Globes voters. The Harlem-set drama from director A.V. Rockwell stars Teyana Taylor as an impoverished single mom who kidnaps her six-year-old son.
Director Ava DuVernay’s critically acclaimed drama Origin, about a writer researching racism and oppression while dealing with heartbreaking personal losses, was also snubbed. The film stars Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Jon Bernthal, and Niecy Nash.
