By:\u00a0Anne T. Donahue<\/p>\n

Here is my new favourite piece of information: when HBO didn\u2019t submit Gwendoline Christie for an Emmy for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama (for Game of Thrones<\/em>), she submitted herself. And then she was nominated. And now everybody can go fuck themselves.<\/p>\n

Which is not what Christie said. Alternately and much more professionally, she took to Instagram, posted the email<\/a> informing her that she\u2019d earned a nomination, and thanked the universe. Admittedly, I would\u2019ve done the same, but in my salty, vengeful heart, I\u2019d forever harbor resentment for not being submitted by the network that employed me and \u201cmistakenly\u201d forward them the same email with the simple caption: \u201cWho would\u2019ve thought? Not you, I guess!\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the thing: I obviously don\u2019t know Gwendoline Christie, and I obviously don\u2019t know what her dynamic with HBO is like because I don\u2019t work there. I also don\u2019t want to make the assumption that Christie put on a lady boss slogan t-shirt as she advocated for herself because her costars Alfie Allen and Carice Van Houten also submitted their own names and also garnered nominations. (And then I would have to assume that they did the same thing.) Also, I think it\u2019s a mistake to define every power move with \u201cget it, girl!\u201d rhetoric because not every choice is defined by one\u2019s gender, and I don\u2019t want to assign a footnote to Gwendoline Christie\u2019s narrative because who the hell am I to do that? She\u2019s a talented, powerful woman who earned a deserved nomination for her work on a series that, for one reason or another, didn\u2019t submit her on their own. So she opted to submit herself and got results. And that, I fucking love. And want to learn to do more of.<\/p>\n

\"\"I\u2019m someone who wants (and needs) an inordinate amount of praise and attention because I\u2019m a demon. And I\u2019m someone who, if I don\u2019t get that inordinate amount of praise and attention, will begin harbouring a type of resentment that is quenched only by, say, being nominated for an Emmy that I submitted myself for. And yet, owning my shit is a challenge. With every, \u201cLook what I wrote!\u201d tweet or, \u201cCome see this panel I\u2019m on!\u201d I hesitate to self-promote because what if it annoys someone? What if I\u2019m being too loud? What if it\u2019s classier just to let strangers stumble upon things? Why can\u2019t I master the art of being demure? Why do I feel like a teen putting up posters for the school election during lunch? (\u201cLook at me! But also don\u2019t! I don\u2019t know, guys! Do you like me?\u201d)<\/p>\n

But thinking this way is annoying. As in, I\u2019m annoyed by it. I\u2019m annoyed that it\u2019s common to neutralize one\u2019s enthusiasm about their work because it seems too aggressive to simply own it. I\u2019m tired of accompanying something I\u2019ve done with the fear that being makes it less valid. I\u2019m exhausted by this conversation in general because I feel like we\u2019ve been having it since social media was born. Especially since we know that even if accompanying a major life development with the simple, \u201cI did a thing\u201d (I can\u2019t with this anymore, I\u2019m sorry), you\u2019re still asking everybody to acknowledge it. Without asking everybody to really acknowledge it. What the hell? Are we okay?<\/p>\n

Well, no. (Like, nobody is. In the world.) But there\u2019s a difference between being a dick and being proud of something you\u2019ve done. It\u2019s not up to you to make your cool thing easier for other people to digest. It isn\u2019t necessary to play down how excited you are or how hard you worked or how much a project means a lot to you. You don\u2019t need to tweet, \u201cHey losers, look what I did!\u201d (because that would be absolutely bananas and super rude if you\u2019re not joking), but if your sincerity makes other people angry, that\u2019s on them. Frankly, it\u2019s weird for someone to dislike you because you\u2019re promoting your work. Again, unless you\u2019re being condescending and terrible. Which I\u2019m sure you aren\u2019t, so there.<\/p>\n

And I get that this is difficult. We want to be liked. We don\u2019t want to be rude. We don\u2019t want to make people feel bad. But you achieving something has nothing to do with any of the aforementioned. You posting a piece you wrote and asking people to read it isn\u2019t being rude. Revealing how excited you are about something isn\u2019t an exercise in bullying. You can totally just submit yourself for an Emmy and then be excited when the Academy\u2019s like, \u201cWell, duh.\u201d You can champion yourself. And you can still be kind.<\/p>\n

So while I don\u2019t know Gwendoline Christie, I do know that I respect the hell out of (and love) her self-submission. I love that she clearly thought, \u201cWhy not me?\u201d and then celebrated that recognition when it was finally announced. I love the enthusiasm and the earnestness and the public display of believing in herself. I like it so much better than the casual \u201cI guess I did something cool guys, IDK!\u201d or playing down something you worked so hard for. Fucking own your shit. Because nobody else will. Not even HBO. (That is, until after you\u2019ve done the work, I guess.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
