Bonjour, Here Are Your 2021 Golden Globe Nominations, But I'm Warning You Now: I May Destroy You Was Snubbed

Screw a pandemic, awards show season waits for no one. The 78th Annual Golden Globe Awards will air live on Feb. 28 at 5 p.m. PST on NBC, hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, because what’s better than pretending it is 2013? Sarah Jessica Parker and Taraji P. Henson announced the 2021 nominations on Wednesday morning, and the titles are fairly chaotic nonsense—like, hope you’re ready to give Emily in Paris a critical reevaluation. (Just kidding, that show is ridiculous.) Three women are nominated in the Best Director category (Regina King, Chloé Zhao, Emerald Fennell), which might be cause for celebration, but I May Destroy You was snubbed. So, uh, there’s that.
