The Globes made some confounding choices this year, like nominating George Clooney’s "long-forgotten" Catch-22, says Michael Schneider, while completely ignoring When They See Us after it earned 11 Emmy nominations. He also notes that Watchmen and The Mandalorian "were perhaps the two most talked-about shows of the fall. But those series don’t exist in the world of the Golden Globes, despite the HFPA’s oft-written spin that it usually gets first crack at rewarding TV’s buzziest programs. Are the Golden Globes, as a result, becoming (gulp) predictable? As much as the When They See Us snub is disappointing, it’s not surprising. When They See Us takes a deep dive into American racial inequality and its troublesome justice system — not the kind of topics generally rewarded by this band of international writers."
