It seems Emily in Paris has more to worry about than deciding on which photo to post on her Instagram…

Life imitates art; the same can be said about film and in the case of the recent 78th Annual Golden Globe nominations, the drama on screen has come to life.

Netizens are stirring with the nomination of Netflix’s bubbly and purposefully silly Emily in Paris over Michaela Coel’s powerful drama, I May Destroy You, which even came as a surprise to Deborah Copaken, a a writer on the bubblegum series.

In The Guardian, the Emily in Paris writer confessed “…I May Destroy You was not only my favorite show of 2020. It’s my favorite show ever.” Copaken’s knee jerk response when first hearing her series recieved a nomination was a universal one–“Huh. Weird.”

Emerald Fennell for Promising Young Woman, Regina King for One Night in Miami…, and Chloe Zhao for Nomadland, also caused a stir — but perhaps for good reason. For the first time in the Golden Globes’ 77 year history, three women were nominated in the Best Director category. Only five women in total have ever been nominated by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. They share the shortlist with director David Fincher, whose film Mank amassed the most nominations for film. The throne for most television nominations went to The Crown, earning six recognitions including one for newcomer Emma Corrin in the role of Princess Diana.

While on the topic of powerful women, the awards ceremony will be presented by none other than comedic bffs, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. The two will virtually host from coast to coast–Fey in New York and Poehler in California. We may not know who will be taking home the golden prize at the end of the evening but one this is certain thanks to the Saturday Night Live duo–we’re in for a few laughs.
