So the biggest surprise for me in the just released 2024 Baeksang Art Awards nominations the TV category are on who was and was not nominated in the Queen of Tears family. Kim Soo Hyun got yet another Baeksang Best Actor nomination for this role but the rest of the drama was missing in the Best Drama, Best Screenwriter, and Best Actress for Kim Ji Won. I understand why its fraught to nominate it in the Best Drama and Best Screenwriter categories since the drama isn’t done yet and can fall apart, and Kim Ji Won is giving the best performance of her life but I don’t think compared to the other nominees she was better enough to consider this a snub, but then I wished QoT was not nominated at all and is considered for next year’s awards instead IMO. But I can see the awarding body absolutely wanting to laud Kim Soo Hyun and also use him for buzz hence it’s kinda like a rock and a hard place decision. I don’t know if he’ll win since he’s won before but his strongest competition would be zaddy Ryu Seung Ryong in Moving and Namgoong Min in My Dearest, though Im Shi Wan in Boyhood could be the dark horse. K-netizens are also calling Kim Tae Ri not getting a Best Actress nom for Revenant a snub and I think the 5th nomination for Best Actress got taken by Lim Ji Yeon in a surprise nod is why. Also it’s as double great year for Ra Mi Ran and Honey Lee both of whom got Best Actress nominations in both the TV and Movie sides.
