Tuesday morning. For the first time in the ceremony’s 71-year history, Black actresses dominate the category for lead actress in a limited series or movie.
The three Black actresses in the running are Octavia Spencer , Kerry Washington and Regina King . They’re joined by Cate Blanchett and Shira Haas , both of whom are celebrating their first Emmy nominations. It also marks Spencer’s first Emmy nomination. Washington has previously been nominated for three Emmys, two of which were for her role on “Scandal.” King has been nominated for four Emmys, winning two for “American Crime” and “Seven Seconds.”
LittleFiresHulu watchmen pretty sure kerry will win
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Considering the times...is it because of talent, is it because of color, is it both? Why now then? Nonetheless congratulations! Some of my favorites are black and support because of their talent!
LittleFiresHulu watchmen I am so glad Black women are getting the love they have deserved
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Would you feel good about the nomination when you know it’s likely virtue signaling?
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Yes!!!
LittleFiresHulu watchmen I’m sorry to say I feel the only reason there are so many Black actresses nominated is do to the climate of what is happening right now. If we didn’t have our situation with BLM I don’t believe as many would be nominated. It’s sad but I feel this is true.
LittleFiresHulu watchmen It's late July oscar nominations dont come out until nov at least
LittleFiresHulu watchmen of course they do . They have a pharase for that. Something guilt... RealJamesWoods
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Kerry Washington did her thang on LittleFiresHulu. But to me she will ALWAYS be Olivia Pope. U go girl
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Hire Black people for your camera crews. We want jobs too.
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Wait I thought watchmen got canceled because no one wanted to watch that woke crap?
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Just the Emmys pandering to blacks
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Why is this even a thing!? Colour should never have anything to do with talent!
LittleFiresHulu watchmen But no one really cares anymore do they? All credibility lost
LittleFiresHulu watchmen
JayPharoah LittleFiresHulu watchmen Regina King deserves a medal just for being Regina King.
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Emmy’s are a shit show and most people don’t agree with the choice of winners. Doesn’t mean anything anymore.
LittleFiresHulu watchmen They should be nominated, they have cried and pouted for the last couple of years because none were nominated. I would now have to wonder, did they really deserve the nomination or is it because of the academy pandering to look diverse.
LittleFiresHulu watchmen No one cares as much about skin color as Democrats and the media. They are strangely obsessed.
LittleFiresHulu watchmen If the award is based on merit, why the need to headline it with, “Three Black actresses”? If they are deserving of the “honor”, why not just state that? If Hollywood truly is liberal (like most seem to claim) why the need to state the obvious?
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Sorry not sorry. Little Fires Everywhere was awful! Kerry Washington had one expression through the whole show. It was hard to watch. Not just bc of her but bc the acting all around was subpar. No one should get anything for this waste of time!! 🥱🥱
TiffanyDCross LittleFiresHulu watchmen I’m still mad Kerry never won for Scandal. Especially after the sex tape episode monologue.
LittleFiresHulu watchmen This is just patronizing to the African Americans in light of the BLM. They know if they did not nominate a few black actresses, they would be attack for being racist. There is no true honesty in these nominations
LittleFiresHulu watchmen It’s nice 2 see but they completely shut out the Trans actresses on PoseOnFX which had one of the BEST SEASONS on TV! I Stan Billy Porter but Pray wasn’t the ⭐️. Candy & her death, the ❤️between Angel & Papi, Elektra & Blanca. PERIOD! TRANS ACTRESSES MATTER!
LittleFiresHulu watchmen How racist of them where is the diversity?
LittleFiresHulu watchmen TaliGoldsheft emmymichaelgoldshaft
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Liberate Hong Kong
LittleFiresHulu watchmen So were they nominated BECAUSE they are black OR because they were the best? Both can happen but the best should win no matter the color How is that any different than ONLY having white people. Now Mexicans have been left out Just do away with the awards & no one will be offended
LittleFiresHulu watchmen
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Yeah because white actresses can’t get work anymore. This is just another example of women eating themselves out 🤮
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Pandering
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Let's all celebrate not winning.
LittleFiresHulu watchmen I am happy and will be rooting hard for all you ladies.Seeing Black women succeed is a beautiful thing and hopefully opens up the door for more talented Black women.Supportblackwomen
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Of course! That's no shock! Same thing happened with the oscars the year after they complained about not enough black nominees. It will happen to the next golden globes and oscars. One of the black actresses will win for sure and yes, probably deserves it.
LittleFiresHulu watchmen This is like saying 'they didn't deserve it but we gotta because duhhh skin colour' 🤦♂️
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Theyre not good actors, I guess everyone needs an award
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Can we take a moment to acknowledge ReginaKing who has been quietly taking over TV and racking up Emmys (3 already!) ... she has been the front runner ever since watchmenHBO premiered. If she loses, it better be kerrywashington or octaviaspencer who are brilliant actresses!
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Looks like you are all way too far gone. Not actresses, not just great actors in films... But BLACK actresses. You must identify them as BLACK. Looks like race matters again. Tell me, when do you want to bring back the rest of the horrors of the past?
LittleFiresHulu watchmen This is not about what any one Black actor has done individually but is a boon for Black actors collectively. The specialness of this moment should not be lost. For the first time in Emmy history, Black actors are the frontrunners in a category not just an afterthought.
LittleFiresHulu watchmen It’s wonderful to see this happening after many years of being in the background. Talented black actresses moving forward!!
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Just give them all an Emmy!!!
LittleFiresHulu watchmen It only happened because of this BLM bullshit
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Her best role was 'Little Man' waynesbros
LittleFiresHulu watchmen At least there’s black actresses ... I see not much latinas. Yet you don’t hear us complain! Emmys
LittleFiresHulu watchmen All this ends on November 3rd. Hollywood is beyond fake and phony. Doesn’t matter no one will watch just like sports.
LittleFiresHulu watchmen This already happened. Stop virtue signaling
LittleFiresHulu watchmen I'm rooting for ReginaKing!!
LittleFiresHulu watchmen
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Look give all African Americans Actors a Emmy. Any African American Actors in the past 30 years, give them a Emmy. For he next 50 years give all African American Actors a Emmy. Flood the market with Emmys. Then all will be good in the World.
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Off to watch Watchmen!! Love Regina King and 💜 Kerry Washington!
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Never heard of her
LittleFiresHulu watchmen How did they decide how many black actresses were going to be nominated?
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Thanks Emmys2020 for bending over and caving in to pressure. Well, at least you didn’t have to “donate” millions of dollars to undeserving black organizations.
LittleFiresHulu watchmen See, if you complain and cry enough you get what you want. The squeaky wheel gets the (undeserved) grease. Pathetic.
LittleFiresHulu watchmen When will all the unecessary charity end?
LittleFiresHulu watchmen I’m rooting for them all!
LittleFiresHulu watchmen
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Why did you add Cate and Shira to this tweet? We can't have shit.
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Who cares?
LittleFiresHulu watchmen I loved Kerry Washington in LittleFiresHulu ....
ReignOfApril LittleFiresHulu watchmen Give Regina King all her flowers! 👑
LittleFiresHulu watchmen We have always been brilliant. They can't stand to have more than a token black in each industry. Why do you think they whipped our ancestors across their bare backs if found reading a book? Can't be smarter/better than a white person. We were still smart without books🤓
LittleFiresHulu watchmen octaviaspencer you remind me of that cool aunt and that aunt who got plastic furniture in the house tells you dont go in living rm 'ITS FOR COMPANY' THAT HYBRID AUNT.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
LittleFiresHulu watchmen kerrywashington I'm still fuck up in head over OLIVIA POPE!! BADDASS !! 👌👍🏆😤😤😤
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Be real. Nominate Ariellescarcella. She's not an actress, but her series is original and awesome.
LittleFiresHulu watchmen ReginaKing if you dont win that would be tragic!! Da Kang!! 👍👌🏆
LittleFiresHulu watchmen You made sure to capitalize the B in Black, didn't you? 🖕🏾😄
LittleFiresHulu watchmen I love all 3!!!
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Why can't they just be acknowledged by their great acting and roles rather than by their race? It takes away from their accomplishment.
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Literally no one is celebrating. What goes into writing a headline? Anything? Here lemme try.... Twitter celebrates as the LA Times is reporting that the news outlet will be transforming into a nationwide frozen yogurt chain. Wow, that was easy.
LittleFiresHulu watchmen That should stop the rioting. All is equal.
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Nobody cares
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Loved ReginaKing in Watchmen. She deserves it!
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Nothing is ever merit based just crisis and pandering based. Why anyone watches when always fixed I dunno.
LittleFiresHulu watchmen who are these people?
LittleFiresHulu watchmen We all knows what's up....Let's not be surprised. I thought Regina King did an amazing job in watchmen.
LittleFiresHulu watchmen What about BLACK actresses making comparable salaries to their white peers? equitypay leveltheplayingfield
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Nothingness. Worthless. 'I don't believe'! (c) Konstantin Stanislavsky.
LittleFiresHulu watchmen The sad thing is that if one of the women of color wins, everybody is going to think it was a racial publicity stunt due to the current state of identity politics being shoved down our throats. This will greatly tarnish the accomplishment of the winner, unfortunately.
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Who cares? I'd rather be making my own entertainment at this point
LittleFiresHulu watchmen WAIT WHAT? Kerry Washington is bominated for a fucking Emmy for little fires? The biggest complaint I’ve heard about that show is her horrible acting.
LittleFiresHulu watchmen sounds like a publicity stunt.
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Ooo I hope Cate Blanchett wins. She's a fantastic actor for a female.
LittleFiresHulu watchmen It's sad they take the sympathy award. I'm all for Blacks but for them to all of a Sudden....
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Haven't seen those shows. Any good ?
LittleFiresHulu watchmen oscarssoblack
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Guess if we have to give up some emmy’s perfect time to give them away b/c no good movies came out and if we just didn’t give it to them emmy’s would be burnt down like Portland
LittleFiresHulu watchmen And every one of them that wins will get up on stage and still complain.
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Watchmen was SO GOOD
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Hollywood is already dominated by whites and blacks. The world holds so many more types of people. For example, there are more Asians than any other type of people in the world. But Hollywood fails to realize this.
LittleFiresHulu watchmen So over these awards shows, with an epidemic going on, forced vaccination impending, businesses closing, people being depressed, there's no need for this type of entertainment, it's a worthless distraction.
LittleFiresHulu watchmen Bow to social pressure and base nomination on race over performance. Pandering nothing more and even though these women are good actresses their win will always be undermined by knowing skin color was the reason they won! Thats actual racism you idiots! Advantage based on race!
