Nominated: Netflix smash-hit Emily In Paris found itself as one of the more controversially nominated shows, landing a nomination for best TV series, musical or comedy. The show’s star, Lily Collins, also got a nod for best actress (Lily pictured in Emily In Paris)
Nominations were announced on February 3 with streaming giant Netflix receiving 42 nominations across film and television.
David Fincher’s Mank lead with six nominations across film, while The Crown also topped the TV categories with the same number of nominations.
Netflix smash-hit Emily In Paris found itself as one of the more controversially nominated shows, landing a nomination for best TV series, musical or comedy. The show’s star, Lily Collins, also got a nod for best actress.
Much of the uproar surrounding the nomination stems from the snubbing of Michaela Coel, whose HBO drama I May Destroy You failed to land any nominations despite being one of the summer’s most critically-acclaimed shows.
Deborah Copaken, one of the writers of Emily in Paris, even spoke out to criticise the snub and insisted that Coel’s show deserved a nomination.

Copaken tweeted that it was ‘just wrong’, and later expanded on her thoughts in an op-ed for the Guardian.
‘Am I excited that Emily in Paris was nominated? Yes. Of course. I’ve never been remotely close to seeing a Golden Globe statue up close, let alone being nominated for one,’ she wrote.
‘But that excitement is now unfortunately tempered by my rage over Coel’s snub. That I May Destroy You did not get one Golden Globe nod is not only wrong, it’s what is wrong with everything.
‘We need art that reflects all of our colours, not just some. But we also need to give awards to shows (and music and films and plays and musicals) that deserve them, no matter the colour of the skin of their creators,’ she went on to write.
