On Wednesday (February 3), the Golden Globes released its list of nominees for this year's ceremony. There are some well-deserved nods like Regina King being nominated for best director of a motion picture for her film One Night in Miami, or the late Chadwick Boseman being nominated for best performance by an actor in a drama motion picture for his work in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. But there were some notable snubs as well.
Michaela Coel's critically-acclaimed HBO TV series I May Destroy You wasn't acknowledged at all in the list. Neither was Spike Lee's Da 5 Bloods, his Netflix flim that featured a captivating performance from Delroy Lindo. Another surprise snub was Zendaya, who wasn't nominated for lead actress in a drama motion picture for her Netflix movie Malcolm & Marie. Other projects that were well-received last year that weren't nominated also include Katori Hall's Starz TV series P-Valley and Issa Rae's HBO TV series Insecure.
People on social media have criticized the Golden Globes for these snubs.
\u201cMichaela Coel and 'I May Destroy You' were completely shut out from #GoldenGlobes nominations.\u201d— Film Updates (@Film Updates) 1612360386
\u201cI think it is an absolute travesty that Michaela Coel was snubbed in the #GoldenGlobes nominations for I May Destroy You - perhaps the most singular TV series of the past few years driven by a brave and fearless performance from a true auteur\u201d— george griffiths (@george griffiths) 1612360042
\u201cEmily in Paris vs insecure? No Tracee Ellis Ross, Zendaya or issa rae? Yikes. Golden globes continues its down hill spiral of being trash\u201d— Ja\u2019Mon (@Ja\u2019Mon) 1612364818
