Golden Globes: 'Get Out' Biggest Snub, James Franco's Win Greatest Surprise, Says Fandango Survey (Exclusive)TheWrap

“Get Out” going home with no awards at the 2018 Golden Globes was the biggest snub of the night, while James Franco’s win for “The Disaster Artist” was its greatest surprise, according to a new Fandango survey.

Fandango surveyed more than 1,000 film fans who watched the award show on Jan. 7.

Following the “Get Out” shutout, the biggest omissions for fans were Christopher Nolan (26 percent), Meryl Streep (13 percent) and “The Shape of Water” (10 percent) not winning for Best Director, Best Actress and Best Picture, respectively.

“Call Me by Your Name” was another snub in all categories, and fans also cited Willem Dafoe (“The Florida Project”) as a shutout.

Pleasant surprises for fans included “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” winning Best Picture, Drama, “Lady Bird” winning Best Picture, Comedy, and Allison Janney, Sam Rockwell and Frances McDormand each winning awards for their roles.

“For many moviegoers, it’s a happy surprise to see Globe Best Picture Awards go to ‘Three Billboards’ and ‘Lady Bird,’ two films centered on strong female protagonists,” Fandango Managing Editor Erik Davis told TheWrap. “The big wins should help give these two small films needed momentum as we head towards the Oscars on March 4. At the same time, the top snubs include virtual shutouts for films like ‘Get Out,’ ‘Dunkirk,’ ‘Call Me By Your Name’ and ‘The Post.’

Davis added, “I think the biggest shocker was Willem Dafoe getting passed over for his authentic and heartfelt performance in ‘The Florida Project,’ but it’s clear that Sam Rockwell’s win was part of the general adoration for ‘Three Billboards,’ which also took home wins for Best Actress and Best Screenplay. Overall, it was great to see so many talented, deserving artists take home awards for the first time in their careers.”

13 Golden Globes Snubs and Surprises, From Sam Rockwell to Tommy Wiseau (Photos)

Here's who the HFPA embraced -- and skipped -- during the 75th Golden Globes on Jan. 7.
Surprise: Sam Rockwell, Best Supporting Actor for "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri"

Rockwell winning for his role in Martin McDonagh's drama is a clear upset over other nominees Willem Dafoe, Christopher Plummer and Armie Hammer.

Snub: Willem Dafoe, Best Supporting Actor for "The Florida Project"

Dafoe was a clear frontrunner for his role in "The Florida Project," and Armie Hammer and Christopher Plummer were considered strong contenders too, but Sam Rockwell managed to upset them all.

Surprise: Rachel Brosnahan, Best Actress in a TV Series Musical or Comedy for "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel"

Pamela Adlon and Issa Rae were snubbed in this category as Brosnahan won for a new show by the creator of "Gilmore Girls" from Amazon Studios.

Snub: Tommy Wiseau not being allowed to speak on stage

James Franco called "The Room" filmmaker Tommy Wiseau on stage while accepting his award for Best Actor Musical or Comedy for "The Disaster Artist," a movie about the making of "The Room." When Wiseau gunned for the microphone, Franco pushed him away. The crowd -- and a good portion of the Twitterati -- anxiously waited for Wiseau to speak, but he never did.

Surprise: "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" wins Best Screenplay

Sure, the race was tight between Greta Gerwig's "Lady Bird" and McDonagh's "Three Billboards" -- but many thought the award would go to Gerwig due to the fact that it's more heartfelt and has become the best-reviewed film in Rotten Tomatoes history.

Snub: Robert De Niro, Best Actor in a Limited Series or Motion Picture Made For Television for "The Wizard of Lies"

Many predicted De Niro to win in this category, or Kyle MacLachlan for "Twin Peaks." But instead, Ewan McGregor won the award for "Fargo."
HBO
Surprise: Aziz Ansari, Best Actor in a Television Series - Musical or Comedy for "Master of None"

Anthony Anderson for "black-ish" is always a strong contender, and voters apparently really liked the revived “Will and Grace,” so Eric McCormack was a frontrunner. TheWrap's Steve Pond predicted Kevin Bacon would win for "I Love Dick," but in the end, Ansari took home the prize.
Snub: "The Shape of Water" for Best Picture -- Drama

“The Shape of Water” has gotten raves for its gloriously imaginative filmmaking, yet it was snubbed for "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri."
Surprise: "Lady Bird" wins Best Motion Picture -- Musical or Comedy

"Lady Bird," "The Disaster Artist" and "Get Out" were sure frontrunners, but many had thought "Get Out" would win due to its social criticism (although the HFPA received criticism for accepting it as a comedy). "Lady Bird" is also a surprising win given that director Greta Gerwig wasn't even nominated in the Best Director category.

Snub: "Get Out"

Jordan Peele's directorial debut was one of the most-talked about films in 2017, but the HFPA sent the film, starring Daniel Kaluuya and Allison Williams, home empty-handed.
Universal
Surprise: "This Is Me" for Best Original Song from "The Greatest Showman"

The category had a lot of great nominees, including "Remember Me" from "Coco" and Nick Jonas' "Home" for "Ferdinand."
Fox
Snub: "Call Me by Your Name"

"Call Me by Your Name," starring Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer, was a strong contender in multiple categories, but one of the most critically-revered films in 2017 went home without one Golden Globe award.

Snub: "The Post"

Like "Call Me by Your Name," Steven Spielberg's drama starring Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks took home zero awards.
