The United States Television Academy announced the nominees for the 78th edition of the Emmy Awards, which will be presented on September 14 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. The list highlights a strong Latin presence, led by the Guatemalan-American actor Oscar Isaac, the Colombian Carlos Manuel Vesga and the Puerto Rican Bad Bunny.
Latinos who shine in the Emmy race
Oscar Isaac competes for Best Actor in a Miniseries or Anthology Series for his work in the second season of “Beef” (Netflix). The production is also nominated for Best Miniseries. Born in Guatemala, Isaac adds this recognition to his filmography that includes “Ex Machina”, “Dune”, “Moon Knight” and the Star Wars sequel trilogy.
Carlos Manuel Vesga surprised by obtaining a nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for “Pluribus”, the new science fiction series on Apple TV+. The plot takes place in a world where almost all of humanity has integrated into an extraterrestrial hive mind. Vesga plays Manousos Oviedo, a character who opened international doors for him after a consolidated career in Colombia with projects such as “Amor Sincere” and “La Prepago.”
Bad Bunny also made history. The Super Bowl halftime show in which she starred received nine nominations, the most for a show of that type in Emmy history, surpassing Lady Gaga’s record in 2017. The variety specials category thus recognized her performance.
Colman Domingo, of Belizean and Guatemalan descent, adds his name to the list. He is nominated for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for “The Four Seasons,” a Netflix series created by Tina Fey. This recognition comes after his recent Oscar nominations, reaffirming his great professional moment.
