“The Golden Globes are stupid. Not only is I May Destroy You totally freaking brilliant, it should be seen,” the 29-year-old Teen Wolf alum tweeted on Wednesday, Feb. 3, following the nominations for the upcoming awards show. were announced. “Obviously you can be TOO far ahead of humanity @MichaelaCoel we don’t deserve you.”
Coel, 33, created, wrote, co-directed, created and starred in the critically acclaimed HBO series, which was shut down from all eligible categories for the 78th Golden Globe Awards. I May Destroy You follows Arabella (Coel), a young girl trying to rebuild her life after being sexually assaulted. As he struggles to recall the details of the incident, he tries to put the pieces back together with the help of his friends.
The British show was among the most talked-about shows of 2020, but it clearly didn’t impress the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Many enthusiasts compared Coel’s powerful project to Netflix’s Emily in Paris, which was nominated for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy. Leading celebrity Lily Collins was also recognized for her performance.
TV fans aren’t the only ones disappointed by the lack of recognition for Coel and her series.
“I’ll Destroy You wasn’t just my favorite show of 2020. It’s my favorite show,” Copaken wrote. “It takes the complex issue of rape – I’m a sexual assault survivor myself – and injects heart, humor, pathos and a narrative so well constructed that I had to watch it twice, just to understand how Coel pulled it off… That I get to destroy you you didn’t get no Golden Globe nod isn’t just wrong, that’s what’s wrong with everything.”
Capoken’s disappointment “isn’t just about race” or representation, she added, but paints a bigger picture of where the industry could improve.
“Yes, we need works of art that reflect all our colors, not just a few. But we will also have to give awards to exhibitions (and songs and films and plays and musicals) that deserve them, regardless of the skin color of their founders,” she reasoned. .” Is Hamilton great because Lin-Manuel Miranda is Puerto Rican? Not. It’s great because it shoots. By the same token, how anyone can watch I Will Destroy You and not call it a brilliant piece of art or Michael Coel a genius is beyond my ability to understand how those decisions are made.”
On Thursday, February 4, Coel was nominated for Best Actress in a Television Movie or Limited Series for the 2021 Screen Actors Guild Awards.
