I think Beyonce’s “Homecoming” documentary on #Netflix had an impact that speaks for itself. She made history as the first Black woman to headline #Coachella and her and her team’s journey to that world-class performance is nothing less than inspiring.
And maybe the Emmys thought so too when the film was nominated for six creative arts Emmys but after she went home empty-handed last night (figuratively speaking as she was not in attendance), social media users took the Emmys to task for what they felt was so obviously a snub.
“Homecoming” was nominated for the following categories: Outstanding variety special (pre-recorded), outstanding costumes for variety, non-fiction or reality programming; outstanding directing for a variety special; outstanding music direction; outstanding production design for a variety special and outstanding writing for a variety special, according to @hollywoodreporter. Beyoncé herself was listed as a nominee in four of those categories, all but outstanding costumes and production design.
