Jim Carrey once called himself the “Tom Hanks of the Golden Globes” after his second straight victory with the Hollywood Foreign Press in 2000 (for “Man on the Moon” following “The Truman Show”). He could win with that group but somehow couldn’t impress Oscar voters. And he’s not the only actor in that situation. Our photo gallery features Carrey among the 20 actors who’ve never been nominated for an Oscar.
Even Academy Awards hosts such as Billy Crystal and Steve Martin haven’t been noticed by Oscar voters other than seeing them perform on the ceremony stage. They have both received critics awards and Golden Globe nominations in their long careers. Martin has at least received an honorary Oscar, as has Donald Sutherland, but alas no individual nomination for either one throughout their careers.

Denzel Washington made his feature film debut 40 years ago in 1981’s “Carbon Copy” and in the decades since has played everyone from real-life public figures such as civil rights activist Malcolm X and wrongly imprisoned boxer Rubin “Hurricane” Carter to crooked cops like Alonzo in “Training Day” and Joe Deacon in “The Little Things” to even William Shakespeare‘s most famed villain, Macbeth, in “The Tragedy of Macbeth.”
SEEForum Debate: Oscar ambush by Denzel Washington (‘The Tragedy of Macbeth’)?
For his prolific nature and exemplary work, Washington has received numerous awards: he snagged his first Oscar nomination for 1987’s “Cry Freedom” and won his first Oscar two years later for 1989’s “Glory.” Twelve years after that, Washington made history when “Training Day” made him the first Black actor since Sidney Poitier (“Lilies of the Field” in 1963) to win in the Best Actor category.

Is Meryl Streep the greatest film performer of all time? According to Oscar voters over the past 40+ years, that might just be the case with her record-shattering 21 nominations and three wins. But her filmography is filled with gems that didn’t get any awards buzz.
Streep snagged her first Oscar nomination as Best Supporting Actress for “The Deer Hunter” (1978) and picked up her first trophy in that category the very next year for “Kramer vs. Kramer” (1979). She subsequently snagged two prizes in the lead category (“Sophie’s Choice” in 1982 and “The Iron Lady” in 2011) and competed 17 more times: Best Actress for “The French Lieutenant’s Woman” (1981), “Silkwood” (1983), “Out of Africa” (1985), “Ironweed” (1987), “A Cry in the Dark” (1988), “Postcards from the Edge” (1990), “The Bridges of Madison County” (1995), “One True Thing” (1998), “Music of the Heart” (1999), “The Devil Wears Prada” (2006), “Doubt” (2008), “Julie & Julia” (2009), “August: Osage County” (2013), “Florence Foster Jenkins” (2016), and “The Post” (2017); Best Supporting Actress...

The career of director Steven Spielberg has practically defined modern blockbusters, but he’s also been able to craft more personal films as well. Let’s rank Spielberg’s entire filmography from worst to best in a new photo gallery of his 32 theatrical features.
Spielberg’s reputation as a master entertainer came with the release of “Jaws,” his 1975 shark attack thriller. Made when he was just 29 years old, the film set box office records and made the summer safe for blockbusters again. Such following films as “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” (1977), “Raiders of the Lost Ark” (1981), and “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” (1982) cemented Spielberg’s ability to create spectacular amusements that brought audiences to their feet.

Actress Scarlett Johansson finally escaped our long-running photo gallery of the greatest living actresses to never receive an Oscar nomination. And she did it in grand style by picking up two for her 2019 films “Marriage Story” and “Jojo Rabbit.” Will Kirsten Dunst be the next lady to leap off this gallery into an Academy Awards nomination soon? She has been receiving rave reviews for her latest film “The Power of the Dog” from Jane Campion.
Also in our photo gallery, we include Emily Blunt, who won her first SAG Award in 2019 but also still couldn’t gain attention from Oscar voters. She took home the trophy in the supporting category for “A Quiet Place” but also had a potential bid as a lead actress for “Mary Poppins Returns.”

We’re just days away from finding out the winners of the 2021 Screen Actors Guild Awards, which will be handed out in a pre-taped ceremony on Sunday, April 4. Gold Derby Editors Marcus James Dixon, Daniel Montgomery and Zach Laws recently got together to make all of our final SAG predictions for film and television, including whether “Minari” can overrule “The Trial of the Chicago 7” or if “Bridgerton” will wear “The Crown.” Watch the video above or listen to the audio podcast below.
SEEWhen are the SAG Awards in 2021? What to know about the Screen Actors Guild Awards
“I moved [‘Minari’] up into my first place position a few weeks ago,” Montgomery says about his pick for Best Film Ensemble, citing a combination of “Minari” doing well in the Oscar nominations and “The Trial of the Chicago 7” under-performing. He adds, “The good news is, it’s kind of a coin flip.

“It was around this time a few years ago that ‘La La Land’ kept winning everything, and you could feel this backlash growing … I’m not feeling that this year for ‘Nomadland,'” says Gold Derby Editor Marcus James Dixon following the Best Picture victory for “Nomadland” at the Producers Guild Awards. “I’m not feeling this anger or jealousy towards ‘Nomadland’ towering over all these other films.” Dixon discussed the Producers and Writers Guild winners with Zach Laws and Daniel Montgomery in their latest slugfest. Watch the video above or listen to the audio podcast below.
“‘Nomadland’ inherently is much more of an underdog story — not just what’s on the screen, but in terms of it being a very modest, low-budget, independent film,” Montgomery argues about why the film might lack the front-runner fatigue that could have been what tripped up past Oscar favorites like “La La Land...

“We are going to talk about the whirlwind 48 hours we’ve had with PGA nominations, BAFTA nominations and DGA nominations,” Marcus James Dixon states at the beginning of Gold Derby’s latest editors’ slugfest. Daniel Montgomery and Zach Laws round out the panel as our staffers discuss the jaw-dropping surprises and snubs, and what it all means for our individual Oscar predictions. Watch the video above or listen to the audio podcast below.
Marcus notes how the Producers Guild fell in line basically with “what we’re expecting to happen at the Oscars,” but then “BAFTA comes along and completely upends everything and throws shockers and snubs all over the place.” However, when the DGA chimed in with their noms, they were basically like, “No, no, no, you were right the first time, you know what you’re talking about,” Marcus adds.

For we awards-obsessed writers and editors at Gold Derby, the Golden Globe Awards are the official launch of a season full of trophies. Ordinarily, we celebrate by gleefully (and sometimes snarkily) watching celebrities drink and mingle while fancy statues are handed out to the best in film and television by about 90 foreign journalists who make up the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. This year the Globes were handed out in a socially distanced virtual and bi-coastal ceremony hosted by comedy queens Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
Even with the Covid-safe restrictions, the Globes still offered up lots of surprises and unforgettable moments. Below, read our collective thoughts on the glorious highs, embarrassing lows, and disastrous “Wtf” moments of Sunday’s kudoscast for the Golden Globes 2021.

Gold Derby’s Experts are nearly unanimous that “The Trial of the Chicago 7” will win Best Film Ensemble at the 2021 SAG Awards. On paper it seems like a safe bet as it boasts a huge cast full of famous faces, its content is timely, and it is a Best Picture Oscar front-runner. But I think these savvy prognosticators are overlooking a true gem of an ensemble — the one with mostly unknown actors that you want to wrap your arms around after watching them in action. The “Minari” cast. Below, I lay out my 4 reasons why director Lee Isaac Chung‘s semi-autobiographical film will win the SAG ensemble prize despite the fact that none of our Experts are predicting it.

Our editors Marcus James Dixon, Daniel Montgomery and Zach Laws got together to dish all of the film and TV noms and make our picks for who we think will ultimately win when the statuettes are handed out Sunday, February 28 during NBC’s bicoastal ceremony hosted by Amy Poehler and Tina Fey. Watch our Golden Globes predictions video slugfest above, or listen to the audio podcast version below.

Since the beginning of January, “The Flight Attendant” star Kaley Cuoco has risen from fifth place to third place in our combined odds for the Golden Globes. As of this writing, and with the Globe nominations right around the corner, she gets 5/1 odds of claiming Best TV Comedy Actress. But keep an eye on her at the Screen Actors Guild Awards too. She could potentially fly away with both prizes.
Cuoco has never been nominated at the Globes despite more than a decade co-starring on “The Big Bang Theory.” But the Hollywood Foreign Press Association loves to award buzzy new shows, unlike other awards organizations like the Emmys that are often pretty set in their ways. “The Flight Attendant” was such a series, premiering on HBO Max on November 26 to critical acclaim, and its murder mystery was popular enough to already earn it a renewal for a second season.

“Schitt’s Creek” dominated the Emmys last fall, winning all seven of its main broadcast categories, an unprecedented feat for a comedy. “So it’s just going to sweep the Golden Globes too, right?” asks Gold Derby Editor Daniel Montgomery. He joined fellow Editors Marcus James Dixon and Zach Laws to discuss whether the Pop TV phenomenon is a done deal or yesterday’s news. Watch our slugfest video above, and scroll down to listen to the podcast version.
SEEThe curious slow rise and sudden reign of ‘Schitt’s Creek’ over TV audiences and Hollywood award voters
“At this early stage, pre-noms, I think it’s a little silly to not have ‘Schitt’s Creek’ and all four actors in,” Marcus argues. “It’s the smart bet to just put them all for now. Whether or not they’re going to win is another story … I do have the show winning, and I have Catherine O’Hara winning,...
