The 2018 Golden Globe Nominees were announced earlier this week, it’s always exciting to see who got nominated and who got snubbed.
Jada Pinkett Smith, who starred in the film Girls Trip earlier this year, took to twitter to voice her disappointment in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for snubbing the film and her co-star Tiffany Haddish. The star claims that not only did the film not receive a nomination, but that HFPA “REFUSED” to even watch the film for consideration.
I have so much to say on why @TiffanyHaddish was not nominated for a Globe… but I won’t

Here we go…
I’m not upset about @TiffanyHaddish or @GirlsTripMovie not getting a nom… I’m discouraged about the fact that the Hollywood Foreign Press/@goldenglobes wouldn’t even WATCH the movie.

Girls Trip was one of the most successful films this summer & Tiff was hands down the funniest person on screen in 2017 and we couldn’t get eyes on the film or a press conference. How could a nom happen & how much more critical acclaim must a movie have to simply get a screening?

She’s not wrong, Tiffany Haddish is one of the funniest female comedians in Hollywood right now.
Check out this clip of her hosting Saturday Night Live recently:
And this clip of her on Jimmy Kimmel LIVE:
Ok, back to Jada..
But yet… Tiff has been asked to present at their ceremony. This isn’t about shaming, this is about the need for discussion of an antiquated system.

And I dare not invalidate all the many journalist and people from all walks of life who have supported this movie by defining the issue as simply… racism.

She also took a moment to stick up for one of this years biggest snubs, The Big Sick
The fact that the brilliance of @TheBigSickMovie went unnoticed and the fact that one of the most prolific films of the year, @GetOutMovie, is considered a comedy… illuminates the depths of the sunken place… for real.

Tiffany eventually chimed into the conversation:
Thank all of y’all for your love and support, I don’t know or care much about snubs because I’m not nasty like that!! But I love my girl Jada and I love all of you! @jadapsmith @VanityFair #SHEREADY
