Netflix's 'Emily in Paris' received a Golden Globes nomination for best comedy and people are confused

• The 78th annual Golden Globes nominations were announced Wednesday.
• Netflix's "Emily in Paris" was nominated in the best comedy series category.
• Fans are wondering if it's a joke, noting the show wasn't very good.

The 2021 Golden Globes nominations were announced Wednesday morning. And among the biggest surprises was that Netflix's "Emily in Paris" was nominated not once, but twice.

It's up for best comedy series or musical while the show's star, Lily Collins, was nominated for best actress.

The comedy stars Colins as a struggling American who moves from Chicago to Paris to work at a marketing firm.

Many on social media were confused by the show's nomination for best comedy, especially because the show's reviews are tepid at best. It currently sits at 63% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Even people who enjoyed the series said it didn't deserve a nomination.

The show was nominated alongside "The Flight Attendant," "Schitt's Creek," "The Great," and "Ted Lasso."

Many are wondering why other shows like HBO's powerful "I May Destroy You," Netflix's "Never Have I Ever" or NBC's darling "Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist" weren't nominated instead.

"I May Destroy You" navigates the trauma of trying to piece together a sexual assault with dark humor.

Netflix's comedy follows a young girl navigating school as her life is humorously narrated by John McEnroe.

"Zoey's" is a musical about a young woman who hears people's thoughts as songs. Still, the series' main star, Jane Levy, received a nomination for best actress in a comedy or musical.

The 78th annual Golden Globes will air on NBC on Sunday, February 28, 2021 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
