History Made? Possibly…
Congrats to Taraji P Henson and Viola Davis for being the first two women of colour to earn Emmy nominations at the same time in the same category for lead actress in a drama series. Everyone is buzzing that one could win, which would make either of them the first Afrikan American female to win an Emmy in this category.
Aside from that, they deserve it! Both performances were powerhouse, let’s hope the Emmys don’t pull something crazy and give em a tie…considering how they do us, they may just, but who do you think will win?
Even though diversity, EG. add more people of colour to Television, is still a serious issue in Hollywood, this years Emmys is not so bad…
