Jenna Ortega's Wednesday has taken the internet by storm, leading to the renewal of the fantasy horror series for a second season. Ortega won the hearts of fans with her splendid portrayal of Wednesday Addams in the Miles Millar and Alfred Gough-created comedy horror.

Following the release of Wednesday season 1, the series has managed to bag a number of prestigious award nominations, including the Golden Globes.

After the 80th Golden Globes award ceremony was aired last night, fans are now eager to know whether Wednesday has managed to win any accolades. Sadly, neither the hit Netflix series nor Jenna Ortega managed to bag any Golden Globes last night, much to the dismay of fans.


Who won the Golden Globe in place of Jenna Ortega?

Jenna Ortega did not win the award for the category of Best Actress – Television Series Musical or Comedy at the 80th Golden Globes, although she was nominated alongside Quinta Brunson for Abbott Elementary, Kaley Cuoco for The Flight Attendant, Selena Gomez for Only Murders in the Building, and Jean Smart for Hacks.

Quinta Brunson managed to take home the award last night for her stunning performance in Abbott Elementary.

Ortega's Wednesday also did not bag the Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy award. But the series was nominated along with Abbott Elementary, The Bear, Hacks, and Only Murders in the Building. Ultimately, it was Abbott Elementary that won the Golden Globe yesterday.

Fans were not impressed with the jury's decision and took to social media to express their disappointment. Most of them felt that it was Jenna Ortega who should have taken the award home for her role in Wednesday, instead of Quinta Brunson.
