Stranger Things SNUBBED, gets ZERO Golden Globe noms in final season
The final season of Netflix's 'Stranger Things' has been nominated for zero Golden Globe Awards, marking a notable absence for a series that previously garnered acclaim, including nominations for best drama in its earlier seasons. Despite winning a dozen Emmy Awards, primarily in technical categories, the series has failed to secure recognition for its last installment, which will conclude with its finale airing on New Year's Day. Controversy surrounds the final season due to a graphic scene involving a young character, igniting criticism from various groups and raising concerns about appropriateness for younger viewers. As the series approaches its end, the lack of nominations may impact its legacy and audience reception. Upcoming episodes will debut on Christmas Day, leading to the series conclusion.
