'Boss Baby' Got A Golden Globe Nomination & Twitter Can't Handle It
Another day, another very strange move made by Hollywood. On the morning of Dec. 11, the 2018 Golden Globe nominees and categories were announced. Among them was a nod to the movie Boss Baby for Best Animated Film. I know. Life is weird. Tweets about the Boss Baby Golden Globe nomination prove fans are just as confused as we are.
To be fair, at least the category is technically fitting. It's not like it's getting huge acclaim for acting, direction, or is up for best film of the year or anything. But still, we live in a world where a film titled Boss Baby is up for a Golden Globe nomination, and that's a world I'm not sure I want to be a part of.
BB, (as I like to call it), is up against the truly emotionally-fulfilling film Coco and movies The Breadwinner, Ferdinand, and Loving Vincent. In an uncertain world during uncertain times, it's like, can we please not let this happen?
Twitter agrees with me, BTW. People don't know what to make of the nomination, and many are questioning the validity of the Globes entirely because of it. While there is a lot to celebrate in television and movies this past year, Boss Baby is seemingly not one of them.
Look at what the masses are saying.
In particular, animated die-hards can't get over the massive snub against the apparently epic movie, LEGO Batman.
You can tune in and see what happens on Jan. 7 at 8 p.m. EST on NBC, and check out the other nods and snubs in the categories below!
