.Beyoncé's Emmy snubs are a reminder of how harshly black women are judged:
You've probably heard by now that Beyoncé's Homecoming documentary/concert special didn't win a single of the Creative Arts Emmys for which it was nominated. It's a huge letdown for the Beyhive, which looked forward to Bey moving one step closer to EGOT status.
When I heard about Homecoming being snubbed, I immediately thought back to the 2017 Grammys, when Adele beat out Beyoncé in all of the three general categories in which they were both nominated. Lemonade, which was released as a creative film on HBO before the album was available to stream, raised the bar on visuals, defied genre boundaries, and took advantage of genius creative storytelling.
Fast-forward three years later, and Beyoncé was beaten by not one other contender, but a predominantly white slew of them. In the different categories in which it was nominated, Homecoming was defeated by Springsteen on Broadway for directing; Rent: Live for production design; Fosse/Verdon for music direction; Hannah Gadsby's Nannette for writing; Carpool Karaoke: When Corden Met McCartney Live From Liverpool for Outstanding Variety Series; and RuPaul's Drag Race for costuming.
Black children are raised to understand that we have to work twice as hard to get half of what our white peers do for the same work. But even when they exceed expectations, Black women like Beyoncé are judged more harshly and aren't justly rewarded—especially when they're advocating for Black liberation, advancement, or excellence.
