Selena Gomez Finally Earns Emmy Nomination for Acting, Makes History Following Cannes Best Actress Win
Selena Gomez finally landed a nomination for "Only Murders in the Building," alongside her costars.
Competing against Quinta Brunson (“Abbott Elementary”), Ayo Edebiri (“The Bear”), Jean Smart (“Hacks”), Maya Rudolph (“Loots”) and Kristen Wiig (“Palm Royale”), Gomez is the fourth Latina to be nominated in the category’s history following Rita Moreno for “9 to 5” in 1983, America Ferrera’s two noms for “Ugly Betty” in 2007 and 2008 and Jenna Ortega for “Wednesday” last year. Only the third to be recognized in the category, Gomez follows Mexican multi-hyphenate Salma Hayek for ABC’s “Ugly Betty” in 2007 and Cuban producer Marlis Pujol, who was nominated for two consecutive years for Netflix’s “The Kominsky Method” in 2020 and 2021. Proudly identifying as a third-generation American-Mexican (her father is Mexican, and her paternal grandparents were born in Monterrey), Gomez’s inclusion is fresh air for Latin representation in Hollywood.
