were overlooked in the Best Director category, which includes all male nominees. Awkwafina was also on the short list for Best Actress but was snubbed for her performance in the dramedy, which follows a family that hides their grandma’s cancer diagnosis from her. The movie didn’t receive a single nomination on Monday morning.
Awkwafina is now promoting her new comedy, which premieres Jan. 22 at 10:30 p.m. ET on Comedy Central. The half-hour is inspired by Awkwafina’s real life growing up in Queens, N.Y. Here’s the official logline: “Raised by her dad and grandma alongside her cousin , Nora Lin leans on her family as she navigates life and young adulthood in outer borough NYC.”
The comedian told reporters that her unique name came from feeling awkward as a kid. “I feel awkward all the time. It’s been a constant throughout my life,” she said.
Over looked or maybe it just wasn’t that good?
She wasn't snubbed.
come on! hold your breath!
Question: which nominee should be removed to include who you want?
I cannot WAIT to watch Nora from Queens as well as The Farewell. In fact, I'd watch Akwafina reading the phonebook aloud.
Snub: to treat with contempt or neglect. Does Awkwafina really believe Academy voters had contempt for her? Or deliberately neglected her? Do people who are upset think that voters should talk as group, and deliberately include a woman or “person of color”?
