No GG love: Matthew McConaughey was not given a Golden Globe nomination on Monday morning for his movie Gold. Here he is seen in early December

The Golden Globe nominees were announced on Monday morning with La La Land coming out on top and the film's stars, Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, also getting singled out.

But there were plenty of names left off the list, too.

Tom Hanks was not recognized for his work in the film Sully, Matthew McConaughey did not pick up a nod for Gold and Taraji P Henson was left out in the cold even though she delivered an impressive performance in Hidden Figures (her co-star Kevin Costner also got the cold shoulder).

Hanks played Captain Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger in the Clint Eastwood directed film about how the pilot tried to make an emergency landing in New York's Hudson River after US Airways Flight 1549 strikes a flock of geese. 

Miraculously, all of the 155 passengers and crew survive the harrowing ordeal, and Sullenberger becomes a national hero.

Henson made a splash in Hidden Figures, but it was co-star Octavia Spencer who got a Supporting Actress nomination.

Not flying high: Tom Hanks was not recognized for his work in the film Sully (pictured, left, in November) and Taraji P Henson (pictured right on Sunday) was left out in the cold even though she delivered an impressive performance in Hidden Figures. Her co-star Kevin Costner also got the cold shoulder

Taraji is best known for her TV series Empire. 

McConaughey has been given attention by the Globes before, most notably when he won for Dallas Buyers Club.

But he did not get noticed for his new movie Gold, about a prospector who draws the attention of the FBI and the Indonesian military after finding an enormous amount of gold in the jungles of Indonesia in 1993. 

Emily Blunt delivered an incredible performance in The Girl On The Train, but she was shut out.  

Director Martin Scorsese was left out in the cold with his film Silence. He is best known for GoodFellas and Gangs Of New York. 

There was talk that Jeffrey Dean Morgan could get noticed for The Walking Dead but that did not happen.

Michael Keaton was not recognized for The Founder.

Some thought Milo Ventimiglia should get noticed for his TV series This Is Us, but he was overlooked. 

The film Fences was ignored, though its star Denzel Washington did get a nod. 

The Seth Rogen film Sausage Party was passed over as was Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, House Of Cards, Better Things, Silicon Valley, Black Mirror and Empire were not noticed. 

Variety noted that two cable channels had less love this year: Netflix and Amazon hit lows. Netflix had five nominations (The Crown, Claire Foy, John Lithgow, Stranger Things, Winona Ryder).

Amazon also landed five noms this year (Mozart And The Jungl, Transparent and their stars Gael Garcia Bernal and Jeffrey Tambor). Billy Bob Thornton is in contention for lead actor in a drama series for the legal drama Goliath.
