Stranger Things SNUBBED, gets ZERO Golden Globe noms in final season

The show received nominations for best drama in 2017 and 2018, with Winona Ryder’s season one performance receiving a nomination, as well as David Harbour’s performance in season two. The show has also won a dozen Emmy Awards, however, the Hollywood Reporter noted, those awards have all been for technical categories such as prosthetics, sound editing and mixing, and music supervision. The show won an Emmy in 2017 for casting.

The first four episodes of Stranger Things 5, three of which were released the night before Thanksgiving, were submitted for consideration for the Golden Globes, while the entire cast was submitted individually as supporting actors and actresses. The show was submitted for best drama, but lost consideration to The Diplomat, Pluribus, Severance, Slow Horses, The Pitt, and The White Lotus.

Three more episodes of Stranger Things’ final season will debut on Christmas Day, and the series finale will premiere on New Year’s Day.

The released portion of the final season has received backlash over a scene that Christian parents say is deeply inappropriate for younger viewers. The show has been accused of depicting a graphic "pedophilic" flashback scene in which one of the main characters, 11-year-old Will Byers, in which the series’ main antagonist, Vecna, knocked Byers unconscious and forced a tentacle-like appendage into Byers’ mouth. The scene is an expanded version of one shown in season one of the show.

Human Events Daily host Jack Posobiec has sharply criticized the show for the scene, writing, "The very first scene of Stranger Things season 5 is a young child getting raped in the mouth. Netflix knows that millions of kids watch this. They do it on purpose."
