Landmark / Starface

This is one of the surprises of this award season.

The BBC and HBO series

I May Destroy You

, created by British actress Michaela Coel, has not received a Golden Globe nomination.

The critically acclaimed program billed as one of the most innovative series of the year in terms of storytelling and writing, was nevertheless a favorite for many critics.

This surprising omission obviously provoked outrageous reactions in the television community.

This is the case of Deborah Copaken, screenwriter of the series

Emily in Paris

, nominated in two categories at the Golden Globes, who did not hesitate to express her dissatisfaction on Twitter at the announcement of the nominations, revealing to Michaela Coel that her series was "my favorite since the beginning of television".

Questioned by the

Guardian

, she put on a diaper.

"Am I glad

Emily in Paris

has been nominated?"

Yes.

Of course.

I've never been so close to seeing a Golden Globes statuette up close, let alone being nominated for one.

But this joy is now unfortunately tempered by my rage at Coel's oblivion.

That

I May Destroy You

didn't receive a single Golden Globe nomination isn't just a bad thing, it represents everything that's wrong with the industry, ”she said.

No debate

Michaela Coel has not reacted publicly to the situation, but her brothers and sisters did for her.

Shameless

actress

Emmy Rossum said without hesitation that

I May Destroy You

“is the best series of the year.

There is no debate, ”while comedian Kathy Griffin is convinced that this omission and the debate surrounding it will allow more viewers to“ experience Michaela Coel's masterpiece ”.

I May Destroy You is the

story of a young Londoner trying to rebuild herself and get on with her life after being sexually assaulted in a nightclub.

Michaela Coel had revealed that she was inspired by her own experience as a survivor of sexual violence.

She claims to have been assaulted while working on the sitcom

Chewing Gum

, which aired between 2015 and 2017 on the British channel E4.
