Yahoo Finance All the Historic Nominees at the 2022 Emmys, Including Selena Gomez, Zendaya, and More
The upcoming Emmy Awards include a handful of record-breaking and historic nominations.
On July 12, the Television Academy announced the nominations for the upcoming 2022 ceremony, with Succession, Ted Lasso, and The White Lotus leading the pack of nominees.
While some stars and shows were notably snubbed from this year's ceremony — including the multi-award-winning series This Is Us, which received zero nominations for its final season — others made history for their nods.
Though she didn't score a nomination for outstanding actress in a comedy series, Selena Gomez makes history as a Latina producer for her work on Hulu's Only Murders in the Building.
Additionally, Quinta Brunson, whose fan-favorite ABC series Abbott Elementary scored seven nods, makes history as the first Black woman to receive three comedy Emmy nominations.

With Only Murders in the Building's nomination for outstanding comedy series, Gomez — who serves as an executive producer for the show alongside costars Steve Martin and Martin Short — becomes the second Latina to be nominated in the category as a producer, Variety reports. The first was Salma Hayek for Fox's Ugly Betty in 2007.

Gomez isn't the Only Murders in the Building star who scored a historic Emmy nomination this year. With his recent nod, Nathan Lane has become the most-nominated actor in the history of the comedic guest actor category, per the show's official Twitter.
Quinta Brunson
ABC Quinta Brunson on Abbott Elementary
Quinta Brunson and her show Abbott Elementary scored a handful of Emmy nominations this year, helping the actress and writer make history. With three nominations for outstanding comedy series, lead actress in a comedy, and writing for a comedy series, Brunson is the first Black woman to earn three nominations in the comedy categories in the same year, according to Variety.
Zendaya

In 2020, Zendaya made history as the youngest actress to win outstanding lead actress in a drama series for her performance in Euphoria, and she recently made history again for her 2022 nominations.
With her nomination for outstanding lead actress in a drama series on Euphoria, she becomes the youngest two-time lead acting nominee ever, Variety reports. She also becomes the youngest woman ever nominated for producing at the Emmys as Euphoria is up for outstanding drama series.
As if that wasn't exciting enough, she is now the first Black woman (and second Black person) to be nominated for acting and songwriting in the same year at the Emmys; in addition to her lead actress nomination, two Euphoria songs that she co-wrote, "Elliot's Song" and "I'm Tired," are nominated for outstanding original music and lyrics.
Squid Game
