LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The nominations for the 80th annual Golden Globes have been announced and like every year, there were a lot of surprises in the list of nominees. Martin McDonagh’s ‘The Banshees of Inisherin’ led the list with 8 noms while ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’ received six nominations, incuding Best Picture. However, the absence of ‘Women Talking’ from the main categories annoyed a lot of movie-goers. Directed by Sarah Polley, the movie primarily focuses on a group of women who has the chance to decide how they want their future to be. The women of a particular place are being sexually abused by men and are told that they are getting a punishment for their sins. However, things change drastically when two young women catch a guy who was trying to abuse them by using a drug. Now, the women need to decide if they want to live there or or not.

The movie garnered universal acclaim for its epic storytelling, great ensemble, and amazing direction. The movie failed to garner a nomination in any of the main categories, but didn’t go empty-handed as it was nominated for Best Screenplay and Best Original Score. Shockingly, the movie couldn’t make it to the Best Picture (Drama) list and actors such as Jessie Buckley and Claire Foy were snubbed in the Supporting Actress category.
