The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences are in their queer era (finally!).
On Wednesday (17 July), the full list of nominations for the upcoming 76th Primetime Emmy Awards were unveiled and its dominated by LGBTQIA+ actors and stories. Seriously, there’s a lot of rainbow rep here.
First of all, ‘Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie’ is stacked with queer talent, with four out of five nominees identifying as part of the LGBTQIA+ community: Matt Bomer (Fellow Travelers), Richard Gadd (Baby Reindeer), Tom Hollander (Feud: Capote vs. The Swans) and Andrew Scott (Ripley). They join Jon Hamm (Fargo), who is repping for the heterosexuals.
Baby Reindeer, Richard Gadd’s lauded Netflix series about his experiences with sexual assault, received seven nominations including the aforementioned category and three additional for acting: Tom Goodman-Hill, Jessica Gunning and Nava Mau.
With her nomination, Mau makes history as the first trans actress to be nominated for ‘Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie’.
As well as Scott’s performance as the title character in Ripley, which marks his second nomination, the Netflix series has been nominated for ‘Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series’, in addition to three more for directing, writing and Dakota Fanning for Supporting Actress.
While there was significant uproar over Fellow Travelers’ snub in the ‘Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series’ category, Jonathan Bailey earned his first-ever nomination in ‘Supporting Actor’, while creator Ron Nyswaner was recognised for his writing.
For its third acclaimed season, Max’s comedy series Hacks landed six nods including ‘Outstanding Comedy Series’ and a third consecutive nomination for Hannah Einbinder in ‘Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series’.
Jean Smart, her co-lead, is once again in contention for ‘Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series’, an award she won in both 2021 and 2022.
As always, RuPaul’s Drag Race has been nominated for ‘Outstanding Reality Competition Program’, where it faces stiff competition from The Amazing Race, Top Chef, The Voice and – we reckon this will be the one to beat – The Traitors.
Additional queer actors nominated are as follows: Ayo Edebiri (The Bear), Jodie Foster (True Detective: Night Country), Holland Taylor (The Morning Show), Lily Gladstone (Under the Bridge) and Bowen Yang (Saturday Night Live).
Shows nominated that are queer/queer-adjacent include Girls 5eva, Loot, The Morning Show, Only Murders in the Building, Palm Royale, The Other Two and What We Do In The Shadows.
Over at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards (7-8 September), nominees include instant LGBTQIA+ classic Red, White & Royal Blue for ‘Outstanding Television Movie’ and HBO’s Peabody-winning reality series We’re Here.
