The Many LGBTQ+ Golden Globes Nods Unfortunately Include James Corden

The 78th Annual Golden Globes nominations are here -- and many of them are queer.

Notably, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association gave love to Schitt's Creek in the category of Best Musical/Comedy Series and nods for its four leads, including out actor Dan Levy. The recognition is significant, as the gay-centered comedy had been snubbed by the ceremony in past years.

In the world of film, Ryan Murphy's The Prom was nominated for Best Picture - Musical/Comedy -- although James Corden, whose performance was panned as "gayface" by many critics, was oddly the only actor nominated from the queer musical production.

But there was still much to celebrate in TV inclusion. In Best TV Series - Drama, Netflix's Ratched is up against HBO's Lovecraft Country. Happily, both of Ratched's out stars, Sarah Paulson and Cynthia Nixon, received nominations as well for their queer roles. Paulson will vie against Jodie Comer, Killing Eve's queer assassin, for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series.

Other LGBTQ+ highlights from this year's nominees include Hollywood's Jim Parsons, HBO Max's The Flight Attendant, The Queen's Gambit's Anya Taylor-Joy, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom's Viola Davis, The United States vs. Billie Holiday's Andra Day, The Mauritanian's Jodie Foster, I Care a Lot's Rosamund Pike, and Disney/Pixar's Onward. Best Picture - Foreign Language also featured two queer-centered productions: The Life Ahead and Two Of Us.

There were also some surprises in the lineup. Emily in Paris, from gay creator Darren Star, is more escapist than highbrow fare, but it garnered nods in Best Television Series, Musical or Comedy and Best Actress in a TV Series, Musical or Comedy. Sia's Music was not beloved by critics but also scored two nominations. Likewise, The Undoing, a critically panned but star-studded HBO Max soap, received nods for Nicole Kidman, Hugh Grant, and Donald Sutherland as well as Best Limited Series, Anthology Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television.

This year's Globes is also notable for honoring three women, two of whom are people of color, in the category of Best Director, Motion Picture: Emerald Fennell (Promising Young Woman), Regina King (One Night in Miami), and Chloe Zhao (Nomadland). However, the Best Picture categories largely snubbed Black-centered productions. Additionally, I May Destroy You, Michaela Coel's searing and lauded HBO drama on sexual abuse (which included a rare storyline from a Black gay survivor), was shut out.
