Megan Markle’s Award Snub Sparks Controversy in Hollywood

The 33rd annual Gotham Awards took place in Manhattan on Monday, and it was a night full of surprises and disappointments.

However, the biggest shock came when Megan Markle, who has been blacklisted by the industry, had a heated argument with Ari of WME (William Morris Endeavor) because they couldn’t secure her a prestigious award for her Netflix series.

The event, known as the first major awards show of the season that celebrates independent projects, saw A24’s “Past Lives,” directed by Celine Som, win the coveted Best Feature award.

This debut film made a significant impact, leaving the audience in awe.

Charles Melton, known for his supporting role in “May-December,” was recognized for his exceptional performance and took home an award.

His co-star, Julianne Moore, proudly shared the news on Instagram, expressing her love and support for him.

Lily Gladstone, who starred alongside Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro in “Killers of the Flower Moon,” won the Best Lead Performance award for her outstanding portrayal in the film “The Unknown Country.”

The presence of such esteemed actors added to the excitement of the evening.

Neon’s “Anatomy of a Fall” also received recognition, winning two awards for Best International Feature and Best Screenplay.

Justine Triet and Arthur Harari were applauded for their exceptional writing skills.

The Breakthrough Director Award, for which Song was also nominated, went to A.V.

Rockwell for Focus Features’ “1001.”

This achievement marked a significant moment in Rockwell’s career.

Rumors circulated that Megan Markle approached WME, hoping to purchase an award for her Netflix movie after being snubbed by the Emmys.

She believed that this recognition would open doors for her as a producer.

However, due to the magnitude of the award, WME declined her request.

It seems that Megan can only acquire obscure prizes.

It is worth noting that the CEO of WME has numerous connections in Hollywood but did not want to involve himself in this matter.

Sources suggest that Megan Markle’s future in the industry may be uncertain, especially considering she is a woman over the age of 40.

Despite her recent claims of having exciting projects in the pipeline, some doubt her ability to make a significant impact.

During the Variety Gala in Los Angeles, Megan expressed her pride in the projects she is involved in, stating that she wants to create content that evokes emotions and fosters a sense of community.

However, critics like Michael Cole believe that Megan’s chances of leaving a lasting mark on the entertainment industry are slim.

According to Cole, Hollywood typically offers limited opportunities for women over 40, with only a select few managing to secure prominent roles.

While Megan Markle remains determined to prove her critics wrong, it seems that she faces an uphill battle in her pursuit of success within the industry.
