Coel recognised for her performance in I May Destroy You a day after her omission from the
Golden Globes nomination list
Michaela Coel has been nominated for a Screen Actors Guild award for I May Destroy You, a day after her BBC/HBO show was snubbed at the Golden Globes. The omission from the shortlist has caused a furore, with many bemoaning the failure of the
Hollywood Foreign Press Association, who vote on the Golden Globe awards, to recognise either the show or its stars.
Coel will be up against Cate Blanchett, Nicole Kidman, Anya Taylor-Joy and Kerry
Washington in the category of outstanding performance by a female
Actor in a television movie or limited series.
