Did Emily ‘buy’ Golden Globe nominations in Paris? The Netflix programmers received ‘unfair’ allegations that they received awards after treating judges on a luxury set visit
- A source said the allegations were ‘unfair’ and that the Netflix show was ‘extremely successful’.
- The series is the best series, with star Lily Collins nominated for Best Actress
- The voting body behind the Golden Globes came under fire after naming the Netflix junk instead of critical sweets like HBO’s I May Destroy You
The producers of Emily in Paris retaliated after ‘unfair’ allegations that they received Golden Globe nominations after treating the judges on a luxury set visit.
The comedy-drama series is the best series and Lily Collins is nominated for Best Actress.
It was claimed this week that the invitation of 30 members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) – who is voting for the Globes – on a trip to visit the scene in Paris was an ‘ethical conflict’.
C’est chic: It has been reported that the creators / studio behind Emily in Paris donated more than thirty members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association a luxury outing to visit the City of Lights.
According to the LA Times, they stayed in a five-star hotel on behalf of the original production company Paramount.
During the trip, the group was allegedly spoiled for two nights at the five-star hotel in the Peninsula Paris at $ 1400 a night, as well as a meeting and lunch at the historic and private Musée des Arts Forains, all thanks to Paramount Network.
Although members of HFPA were not the only ones to attend, according to Times sources, the rules of their organization specifically prohibit accepting gifts from producers or studios worth more than $ 125.
But a source close to the production told Insider: “It is unfair to say that the conference passed the nominations.” They added that the Netflix show is ‘extremely successful’.
In hot water: The voting body behind the Golden Globes came under fire after naming the light-hearted Netflix junk for an honor while criticizing critics like HBO’s I May Destroy You
Black actress Michaela Coel’s award-winning BBC drama I May Destroy You contributed to the controversy. And the HFPA admitted that it had no black voters on its nomination panel.
Both critics and casual cultural connoisseurs were amazed to see Emily star Lily Collins and the Darren Star series earn their headshots, while things like Michaela Coel’s I May Destroy You and Black ensemble cast like Da 5 Bloods, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Judas And The Black. Messiah and One Night In Miami were overlooked in the main categories.
