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).

Emily Blunt delivered an incredible performance in The Girl On The Train did, 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, as was Anthony Hopkins for his stellar turn as Westworld's creator in the hit show.

Hollywood royalty: Meryl Streep is being honored for her outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment with the 2017 Cecil B. DeMille Award

Managing director Chris Beachum said: 'Normally the Globe voters like to spread the wealth among a lot of different films, but I could honestly see it winning the (best) film award and (awards) for Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone.

'It's got a very good shot at (the) directing (category) and maybe the score or song categories - it could do really well.'  

Meryl Streep is being honored for her outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment with the 2017 Cecil B. DeMille Award.
