So far, Corden has not responded to his nomination or addressed the criticism - but given his silence over the past six months, as accusations about his attitude and behaviour swirled - this is not much of a surprise. Vanity Fair's Richard Lawson called it so bad "no more straight actors gay men until the sins of The Prom are properly atoned for". "Few straight actors could get away with a gay character like this, a role that would feel stereotypical in an 80s sitcom and here feels offensive," Newsweek critic Samuel Spencer said, noting Corden was "offensively miscast" in the role.
"Corden is playing off crass gay stereotypes rather than sublimating them into his character," Indiewire wrote. In Netflix's The Prom, Corden, a straight man, plays gay Broadway star Barry Glickman in a way many considered stereotypical and offensive. What is the Golden Globe nomination drama? The criticism is similar to that levelled at Ellen DeGeneres throughout 2020 and ironically, there was speculation Corden could replace her as host of the daytime show.īut the internet has strong thoughts and feelings on Corden, and there are signs Corden's reputation could be heading the same way. It's also further increased the mutterings that Corden is not 'nice'. It's scored him a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor-Comedy or Musical, but also a barrage of criticism and controversy.
