However, this claim was vehemently denied. Some members of the documentary committee realized the potential damage it would cause to have two individuals with questionable credibility win in the non-fiction category, especially considering the number of claims that have been disproven.
The infamous cab chase in New York further tarnished their reputations. Speculation arose that Megan Markle may have resorted to desperate measures, such as selling her best wig on eBay, to secure the nomination. With limited seating space, even some committee members who have worked on shows may not be able to attend the Oscars, which has even stricter criteria.
As a result, Harry and Meghan may not receive invitations to present, giving them little reason to attend. Any attempts by Megan to release PR statements about this situation may only make her appear more desperate.
Harry and Meghan Markle's documentary nomination has faced heavy criticism from critics who argue that the content of their Netflix show is more fiction than non-fiction. Despite enduring a challenging period, including the recent news of Spotify canceling their Archewell Audio podcast, Harry and Meghan have found some positive news to celebrate. Their Netflix documentary series, "Harry and Meghan," has been nominated for a Hollywood Critics Award in the Best Streaming Non-Fiction Series category.
They will be competing against other shows like "Prehistoric Planet 2," "Rainn Wilson and Geography of Bliss," "Renovations," "The 1619 Project," and "The Reluctant Traveler" with Eugene Levy. While some praise has been given to the documentary-making duo, there has also been significant backlash against the nomination.
Released in December, the series offered an intimate glimpse into Harry and Meghan's lives as they navigated their departure from their royal roles. However, critics argue that the documentary does not deserve the nomination and question its authenticity, labeling it more fiction than non-fiction.
