I May Destroy You Cannot Get Golden Globe Nomination, Warganet Is Disappointed

JAKARTA - The nominations for the Golden Globe 2021 were announced on Wednesday, February 3, United States time. A number of nominations for awards in film and television have been broadcast live.

The award is never separated from controversy and public protests, one of which is the BBC / HBO original series, I May Destroy You, which did not win a single nomination at this prestigious event.

I May Destroy You is a television series that explores various themes, namely friendship, race and sexual violence. This series received appreciation from the audience, especially Michaela Coel's acting which received a positive response.

But in the nominations for Best Limited Series or TV Movie, there are only Normal People, The Queen's Gambit, Small Ax, The Undoing, and Unorthodox. Meanwhile, some unpredictable series like Emily in Paris gave a surprise by appearing in the nominations.

Warganet expressed their disappointment with the Golden Globe for not claiming a single nomination for I May Destroy You.

"Every conversation I've had with people on television over the past 10 months has always been influenced by I May Destroy You."

"The vacant nominations for I May Destroy You and Michaela Coel are proof that the Golden Globe does not deserve any attention or connection to true culture."

Actor Dylan O'Brien also wrote about his disappointment. “Cute Golden Globes. I May Destroy You is not only brilliant, it is worth watching. "

Golden Globes are laughable. Not only is I May Destroy You absolutely fucking brilliant, it should be required viewing. Apparently you can be TOO far ahead of humanity @MichaelaCoel we don't deserve you.

Not a few internet users have compared I May Destroy You to the Netflix original series, Emily in Paris. It is known that Emily in Paris received two nominations, namely Best Television Series - Musical or Comedy and Best Performance by An Actress.

"No kidding, Emily in Paris, this television joke got a Golden Globe while I May Destroy You a brilliant work didn't get a nomination."

No joke here, it's fucking criminal that Emily in Paris, a joke of a tv show, was nominated for a Golden Globe while I May Destroy You, an absolute masterpiece, was snubbed. @goldenglobes fuck you, burn in hell

"I May Destroy You is the most creative, awesome series I've ever watched and the fact that they didn't get a Golden Globe nomination at the time Emily in Paris got a few nominations is very harsh."

I May Destroy You tells the story of Arabella (Michaela Coel), a writer who has become an icon among millennials thanks to her popular book debut. When about to finish the production of the second book, Arabella took a break and met her friends at night. The next day, it was difficult for him to remember what happened that night.

I May Destroy You received positive responses and won nominations for a number of awards, namely the Critics' Choice Television Awards and the Independent Spirit Awards.
