It was based on Coel’s own experience, autobiographical art that was unafraid and undiminished. I May Destroy You is ostensibly about its main character Arabella’s (played by Coel) sexual assault. The terms ‘groundbreaking’ and ‘once-in-a-generation’ are thrown about far too often but if anyone is deserving, it’s Coel. It had the quality of a literary novel, the fierceness of slam poetry, and a commanding performance by Michaela Coel. "I May Destroy You" didn't get a Golden Globe nomination? Unbelievable. I 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 /epbuwd1sCm No nods for I MAY DESTROY YOU? well i may destroy the hollywood foreign press association how bout that It’s such a glaring oversight that we wanted to take a closer look at the show and consider why exactly it was shunned. The snub that attracted the most furore online though, was I May Destroy You, Michaela Coel’s singular artistic achievement. James bloody Corden being nominated for his stunningly backwards portrayal of a gay person (Corden is straight) in The Prom almost feels like a Sacha Baron Cohen bit (please reveal it to be a bit Borat).Įmily in Paris was banal Netflix light entertainment derided by basically everyone yet it scored two nominations. That would’ve been boring though, so we were treated to the usual plethora of shocking picks and snubs.Įgregious omissions abounded: one of Spike Lee’s best movies in years, Da 5 Bloods, was shunned although Chadwick Boseman rightfully got a posthumous nomination for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, the movie as a whole was underrepresented. Yet it felt like the Golden Globes had the chance this year – given the hugely disrupted movie and TV industry in 2020 due to COVID-19 – to pass by quietly and without incident. Every year, we are let down by the Academy Awards and their ilk.
