The Golden Globes, which are battling to get back into Hollywood’s good graces after numerous scandals at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, announced the nominations for the 80th Golden Globe Awards Monday morning — but instead of the usual inundation of statements by appreciative nominees, there has been virtual radio silence from the stars’ publicists and on social media.
Even first-timers like “Elvis” star Austin Butler and Jenna Ortega of Netflix’s “Wednesday” have remained mum.
As of press time, only three nominated performers had shared a statement on social media: Hugh Jackman, who is nominated for the film “The Son;” Rihanna, whose ballad “Lift Me Up” from “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” is up for Best Song; and Barry Keoghan, who is nominated for his supporting role in “The Banshees of Inisherin.”
