Zendaya Eyes Emmy History Again
16 Apr
Summary
- Zendaya could make history by winning an Emmy for every season.
- New talent from freshman shows emerges as contenders.
- British drama 'Industry' actors seek long-overdue Emmy nods.
The competition for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series is intensifying as the Television Academy's awards season progresses. Rhea Seehorn is an early frontrunner, having secured Golden Globe and Critics Choice Awards for her role in Apple's 'Pluribus.' Keri Russell also remains a strong contender for her performance in Netflix's 'The Diplomat.'
Zendaya is eyeing potential history, aiming to win an Emmy for every season of HBO Max's 'Euphoria,' a feat previously achieved by only one performer in Emmy history. She faces a new cohort of talent, including Michelle Pfeiffer for Paramount+'s 'The Madison' and Chase Infiniti for 'The Testaments.' Returning nominees like Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon are also in contention.
Veteran actresses such as Kathy Bates and Carrie Coon are seeking comebacks, while Kristin Scott Thomas has transitioned to a lead role in Apple TV+'s 'Slow Horses.' Social media is abuzz with calls for recognition for 'Industry' stars Marisa Abela and Myha'la Herrold, who have yet to receive Primetime Emmy nominations despite critical acclaim and an acting win at the BAFTAs for Abela.
Nomination voting for the Emmys is scheduled from June 11-22, with nominations announced on July 8. The final voting period runs from August 17-26, leading to the awards ceremony on September 14.
