Jada Pinkett Smith is not here for the Golden Globes snubbing the film “Girls Trip” along with her friend/actress Tiffany Haddish.
Jada took to Twitter with a full on explanation as to WHY she feels so strongly about this matter.
“But yet… Tiff has been asked to present at their ceremony. This isn’t about shaming, this is about the need for discussion of an antiquated system” said Jada Pinkett Smith via Twitter .

I have so much to say on why @TiffanyHaddish was not nominated for a Globe… but I won’t

Actually I will… here we go…

I’m not upset about @TiffanyHaddish or @GirlsTripMovie not getting a nom… I’m discouraged about the fact that the Hollywood Foreign Press/@goldenglobes wouldn’t even WATCH the movie.

And I dare not invalidate all the many journalist and people from all walks of life who have supported this movie by defining the issue as simply… racism.

Hollywood has systems in place that must learn to expand its concepts of race, gender equality and inclusion in regard to its perceptions of art across the board.

The fact that the brilliance of @TheBigSickMovie went unnoticed and the fact that one of the most prolific films of the year, @GetOutMovie, is considered a comedy… illuminates the depths of the sunken place… for real.

Moments like this occur so that we have an opportunity to discuss, recreate and regenerate old paradigms. It’s all about growth. Love.
