The 15-year-old actress was nominated for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for her performance in “Eighth Grade,” but had the time to tweet about how she was “happy” for the big winners of the night, Malek and ‘Rhapsody.’ Fisher tweeted, “IM SO HAPPY RAMI MALEK AND BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY WON GOLDEN GLOBES IM THRILLED TONIGHT IS THE BEST NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” A backlash eventually ensued, which prompted Fisher to tweet, “Why is everyone being so mean about this? I’m genuinely sorry if I did something wrong :(” There have already been plenty of writeups about how the film “de-queered” lead singer Freddie Mercury, not to mention director Bryan Singer being a #MeToo poster boy with numerous rumored sexual assaults being alleged against him. Derrickson’s tweet angered critics such as Variety’s Guy Lodge who wrote, “It’s good to review everything on its terms. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t criticize a film for being limited in scope, ambition or courage..If you’re not bothered by the de-queering of Freddie Mercury’s story for mass entertainment purposes, well, great — you are exactly who Bohemian Rhapsody was made for. Enjoy! But also take a moment to consider whether the film should have been made only for you.” A backlash against Derrickson soon ensued, which lead to the director threatening to exit social-media: “If I keep getting personally attacked by film critics I will leave twitter." he tweeted, adding"They will win. I cannot afford to have them souring my name to other critics and filmmakers. It’s consequential. And none of them come at me directly. That would at least deserve a smidgeon of respect.” Contribute Hire me
