When the Golden Globe Award nominations came rolling in, three words stuck out like a sore thumb: Emily in Paris.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Netflix show, which had been torn apart by critics everywhere \u2014 and in France especially \u2014 had been nominated not once, but twice, for the annual awards ceremony: best comedy for musical series and best actress in a comedy or musical for Lily Collins\u2019 performance.<\/p>\n

Historically, the Golden Globe winners’ list is a telltale sign of who you can expect to win big come the Academy Awards. So the inclusion of the Darren Star series\u2014and equally, the exclusion of Michaela Coel’s I May Destroy You<\/em><\/a>\u2014naturally raised questions. Even one of Emily in Paris<\/em>‘ writers, Deborah Copaken, admitted<\/a> she was shocked a show about “a white American selling luxury whiteness” was nominated.<\/p>\n

Following the news, many an op-ed was written and speculation about the ethics of the Golden Globes started brewing. On celebrity Instagram account @DeuxMoi, anonymous followers alleged they’d been tasked to write handwritten notes from actors to each member of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), a group of 87 international journalists who vote on the annual Golden Globe Awards for the television and film industry. Others said some celebrities went so far as to host private parties and invite judges in a bid to receive a nod. It should be noted Instagram account is a collection of unverified gossip submissions so take this with a grain of salt.<\/p>\n

But as rumors swirled, the Los Angeles Times<\/em><\/a> conducted an investigation into how Emily in Paris<\/em> got its nomination, the results of which were published today, alleging ethical conflicts and a “culture of corruption.”<\/p>\n

BEVERLY HILLS, CA – JANUARY 06: The new 2009 Golden Globe statuettes are on display during an unveiling by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on January 6, 2009 in Beverly Hills, California. The 66th annual Golden Globe Awards are scheduled for January 11.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The report covers the \u201cwidespread perception\u201d among Hollywood\u2019s awards campaigners \u201cthat members can still be wheedled and swayed with special attention and access to A-list stars with whom they can take selfies to post on Instagram.\u201d More specifically, it revealed that Emily in Paris<\/em> creators flew 30 HFPA journalists to France and put them up in $1400 per night hotel rooms so they could visit the show’s set during filming. \u201cThey treated us like kings and queens,\u201d one member who participated in the junket told the Times.<\/em><\/p>\n

The allegations are reminiscent of Ricky Gervais’ 2016 Golden Globes monologue when he called the awards \u201cworthless\u201d and \u201ca bit of metal that some nice old confused journalists wanted to give you in person so they could meet you and have a selfie with you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

In response to the report, the HFPA said in a statement, \u201cNone of these allegations has ever been proven in court or in any investigation, [and they] simply repeat old tropes about the HFPA and reflect unconscious bias against the HFPA\u2019s diverse membership.\u201d<\/p>\n

Let’s hope that the HFPA journalists could speak French better than Emily in Paris<\/em> when they were treated to an all-expenses trip to the city.<\/p>\n

Let’s also hope that this embarrassing revelation prompts every Hollywood awards ceremony to do better\u2014much better\u2014next year.<\/p>\n
