On social media, amid recent photos with her rumored boyfriend, netizens claimed that the nomination was due to Arnault pulling strings.

These days, dating a rich man seems to open more doors than having real talent or making an actual contribution https://t.co/5gtlb4Wbcw

Yet, netizens defended Lisa from the criticism on various platforms, explaining that it’s not Lisa who submitted the application, but that HBO made multiple submissions for stars in their shows.

The Emmys will take place in September, but the submission doesn’t guarantee Lisa’s nomination.
