QueenAndSlim director Melina Matsoukas claims GoldenGlobes voters refused to watch her film: 'We held three screenings for the HPFA and almost no members attended'
didn’t set her alarm for the Golden Globes announcement — she didn’t bother. When she woke up on Dec. 9 to the news that her movie, “Queen & Slim,” a powerful drama about a young black couple forced to go on the run after a fatal encounter with a racist cop, hadn’t received a single nomination, she wasn’t surprised.
A representative for the HPFA disputes the claim that members didn’t watch the film. All voters had been sent screeners and could have seen it at home. “The HFPA maintains that ‘Queen & Slim’ was in the conversation amongst the membership,” the organization toldThe Golden Globes encountered an avalanche of criticism this week for not nominating a single female director or screenwriter. This omission was particularly glaring given that.
Not every movie screened for the HFPA has a press conference, a lengthy rite of passage for prestige movies that involves some questions from members — and more selfies and schmoozy moments with them. But Golden Globes nominations are valuable. Not only do they serve as a springboard to the Oscars, they can help a movie’s profits and boost a young director’s career and salary on future projects.
“I was warned by three different people that I may be harassed or spoken to in an inappropriate way, which I was,” she said.
