This year's nominations for the Golden Globes have been announced.
A candidate from Netflix does not suit many series lovers at all.
The
Golden Globes
take place every year.
Usually the event falls on a date in January.
Due to Corona, the organizers have postponed the award ceremony to
February 28, 2021
.
Accordingly, it took a while for the jury to announce the nominees.
Netflix
can be particularly happy this year: The film
"Mank"
by
David Fincher
and "The Crown" * appear six times in different categories.
This corresponds to the highest number of nominations any single production received this year.
The series “The Queen's Gambit” (two nominations),
“Ozark”
(four nominations), “Ratched” (three nominations) and
“Unorthodox”
(two nominations)
also have a good chance of winning
.
But the jury gave another Netflix production two chances - and not everyone can understand this decision.
Golden Globes: Netflix series "Emily in Paris" has been nominated twice
We're talking about the feel-good comedy "Emily in Paris".
In October 2020, the first season of the series started on
Netflix
.
The reactions to the novelty were very mixed.
Many viewers saw the cheerful plot as a welcome change during the gloomy Corona period.
Others were appalled by the many French clichés.
French film critics in particular did not take good care of the series, which they felt caricatured themselves.
None of this stopped the
Golden Globes
jury
from
nominating
“Emily in Paris”
and lead actress
Lily Collins
in the categories
“Best Series - Comedy / Musical”
and
“Best Series Leading Actress - Comedy / Musical”
.
A questionable decision that is hotly debated on Twitter.
For example, one user writes: “Just saw the #GoldenGlobes nominations.
I'm SHOCKED at how many nominations Emily got in Paris.
Nothing about this series is GG-worthy.
There was probably a lot of bribe. "Another person is surprised:" I thought it couldn't get any worse, but now #EmilyInParis is nominated for the #GoldenGlobes. "
Other users are looking for explanations for the jury's decision.
The reason for the nomination could be due to the Corona year, in which many series could not be finished.
It
is therefore possible that
“Emily in Paris”
only
fills
a space that would normally have been occupied by another work.

Netflix series "Emily in Paris": These productions were nominated in the same categories
"Emily in Paris" has
not
yet
won a prize.
It may not even happen because the competition in both categories is tough.
The HBO surprise hit “The Flight Attendant”, the shrill Hulu production
“The Great”
and the series
“Schitt's Creek”
and
“Ted Lasso” also have a
chance of winning
a prize as the best comedy or musical series
.
Lily Collins
in turn has to face "The Big Bang Theory" star
Kaley Cuoco
("The Flight Attendant"),
Elle Fanning
("The Great"),
Jane Levy
("Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist") and
Catherine O'Hara
("Schitt's Creek ”).
