'Golden Globes so white' trends on Twitter
Golden Globes 2020 nominations were recently announced. Films like Marriage Story, The Irishman, and Parasite are in the lead. The Morning Show starring Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon was the debut of Apple TV Plus at the Golden Globes. But amidst all of these achievements and nominations, the Golden Globes 2020 and HFPA are receiving severe backlash. Many social media users took to Twitter to express the whitewashing that has taken place this year. These social media users were quick to point at several nomination snubs that happened this year. For example, Lupita Nyong’o was not nominated in the 'Best Actress' category for the movie Us. Another example was no nominations for the Emmy-nominated series When They See Us.

So, not a single nomination for Ava Duvernay and When They See Us despite the fact that it was one of the most powerful, impactful shows of the year? I wonder why 🤔#GoldenGlobesSoWhite #GoldenGlobes https://t.co/cr620Qqp8r

Lupita getting straight ROBBED for not being nominated for her role in US. That movie was a straight up mind fuck and NO ONE could’ve played that part better than her #LupitaNyongo #US #GoldenGlobesSoWhite
