Emmy Awards Nominations

On Tuesday, July 12, The Television Academy announced this year’s Emmy nominees which includes Shows like;

Euphoria, Succession, and Abbott Elementary impressed their respective audiences and critics this year, so hearing those names announced in various categories was no surprise. Streaming services like Netflix, Apple TV+ and Hulu continued to provide incredible content, adding shows like Squid Game and Only Murders in the Building to the Emmys mix.

Chairman and CEO Frank Scherma stated the number of entries, citing a record amount of TV production and lots of high-quality programs.

With 14 nods, Squid Game made history by becoming the first-ever non-English language show and series solely produced outside of a Western country to receive a major-category nomination. Ted Lasso once again secured 20 nods, the same total it earned last year where it had the most nominations in a single year for a freshman comedy.

‘Abbott Elementary’

If you were surprised by Abbott Elementary getting seven nominations, you must have not been paying attention. According to Variety, Quinta Brunson made Emmy history by becoming the first Black woman to earn three nominations in the comedy categories in the same year. The 32-year-old is also now the youngest Black woman ever nominated in the comedy acting category thanks to her breakthrough show.

The ABC workplace sitcom received nominations for Outstanding Casting For A Comedy Series category, the Lead Actress In A Comedy Series category for Brunson’s role as Janine Teagues, twice in the Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series nominations for Janelle James nominee for her role as Ava Coleman and Sheryl Lee Ralph for her role as Barbara Howard, Supporting Actor In A Comedy Series category for Tyler James Williams for his role as Gregory Eddie, as well as the Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Writing For A Comedy Series categories.

There was no denying that this show would win over Emmy voters just as it did viewers throughout its first season. Now we will have to wait and see how the sitcom holds out against the established Academy favorites like Ted Lasso and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. From where we’re standing, Brunson and crew have nothing to worry about. —Karla Rodriguez
