The Big Problem With That ‘Controlling Britney Spears’ Emmy Nomination
A documentary about Britney Spears and the conservatorship that subjugated her has been nominated for an Emmy, despite the singer’s strong public repudiation of her portrayal.
Controlling Britney Spears, released on FX and Hulu last September, is up against The Tinder Swindler, George Carlin’s American Dream and other titles for Outstanding Documentary Or Nonfiction Special.
A winner will be announced at the ceremony in September, though in Spears’ eyes, the whole effort is an unworthy sham meant to embarrass her even more.
