Jada Pinkett Slams The Golden Globes Over Tiffany Haddish Snub

It’s no secret that 2017 has been Tiffany Haddish’s breakout year. Her critically praised performance in Girl’s Trip opened a handful of seemingly impossible doors for the comedian, including hosting SNL and getting lots of airtime across all sorts of platforms. She made Girls Trip A HIT.

Tiffany’s costar Jada Pinkett is now raising an obvious question surrounding Golden Globes nominations. Why wasn’t Tiffany Haddish nominated?

I have so much to say on why @TiffanyHaddish was not nominated for a Globe… but I won't 🤐

Actually I will… here we go…

Jada explains that the Globes didn’t even give the film the time of day, literally! They refused to watch it, even after breaking box office records. Hit the flip to see the rest.

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?

And to add insult to injury…they actually asked Haddish to present an award.

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.

Hollywood has systems in place that must learn to expand its concepts of race, gender equality and inclusion in regard to its perceptions of art across the board.

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.

Moments like this occur so that we have an opportunity to discuss, recreate and regenerate old paradigms. It's all about growth. Love.

What do you think of all of Jada’s issues towards the Globes.
