Its nominations, for Best TV Series, Comedy or Musical and Best Actress, are both awards that IMDY clearly deserves to be in the running for.
#I may destroy you golden globes series
No, it’s the fact that Emily in Paris – Netflix’s much-watched (and much-mocked) series about a perky American abroad – has got not one but two nods from the HFPA.
It also represents a win for Coel, who had to fight to retain complete creative control of her own work, something that didn’t happen on her first series, Chewing Gum. Michaela Coel (writer, co-director, executive producer and star) has created a juggernaut of a show – a sharp, often funny, exploration of sexual abuse, consent and the effects of trauma. One of the biggest shows of 2020, IMDY pulls off the rare feat of being both critically acclaimed and loved by audiences.
It’s not just the lack of nominations, although that’s bad enough. One of the biggest? The complete shutout of Michaela Coel’s I May Destroy You (let’s refer to it as IMDY). While there were lots of well-deserved nods – Anya Taylor-Joy for The Queen’s Gambit and Emma, Emma Corrin for The Crown, Regina King, Chloé Zhao and Emerald Fennell all up for Best Director – there were also big surprises. How do I know this? Because I’m one of those people! No Best Director (or even Best Screenplay) for Get Out or Call Me By Your Name in 2018, nothing for Steve McQueen’s Widows in 2019, all the nominations thrown at Joker in 2020 – the Globes have been personally victimising me for years.Ģ021’s nominations, freshly released, are no different. This means that people tend to get very annoyed when the nominations come out. With the Golden Globes ceremony taking place just before voting for the Oscars nominations ends, a nod from the Globes is a big deal. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of injustice that washes over you when your favourite film – TV show, director, actor, screenplay, score – doesn’t get the recognition you know it deserves.
