Welcome to The List,
Nominees for the Golden Globes were announced yesterday . . . and remember how Will Smith was concerned that his behavior at the Oscars would unnecessarily punish the cast and crew of “Emancipation”? Well, that may be EXACTLY what happened . . . because the movie was completely snubbed, even though many people expected it to get some love this award season. Tom Cruise also failed to score a nod for “Top Gun: Maverick”. . . even though the movie itself got two, for Best Motion Picture, Drama and Best Original Song.

Lainey Wilson performed “Watermelon Moonshine” on a flatbed trailer on Sunday’s episode of “Yellowstone” . . . and it was a “full-circle moment” for her.

The CMA Country Christmas is Thursday on ABC and Carly Pearce shares one of her favorite Christmas memories … “My favorite Christmas memories is when I worked at Dollywood, I worked in the Christmas show there called Christmas in the Smokies, during Frosty the Snowman, I dressed up as a mascot version of Frosty the Snowman.
