celeb news Zendaya makes Emmys history; youngest producer & two-time acting nominee

[State of Grace.]

 

Superstar Zendaya has made Emmys history again with “Euphoria.”

 

At 25, Zendaya is now the youngest woman ever nominated for producing at the Emmys, in addition to being the youngest two-time lead acting nominee ever. She nabbed four noms in total with today’s haul.

 

For her role as Rue in HBO’s “Euphoria,” she already made history in 2020 by becoming the youngest lead actress drama winner (24 at the time), and only the second-ever Black woman to win the category, following Viola Davis for “How to Get Away With Murder.”

 

With two songs submitted in the original music and lyrics category — “Elliot’s Song” from the episode “All My Life, My Heart Has Yearned for a Thing I Cannot Name” (music and lyrics by Labrinth, and lyrics by Muzhda Zemar-McKenzie and Zendaya) and “I’m Tired” from the episode “You Who Cannot See, Think of Those Who Can” (music and lyrics by Labrinth, and lyrics by Zendaya and Sam Levinson) – she picked up two additional mentions.

 

In addition, 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.

4 nominations, I KNOW THAT'S RIGHT  

 

She'll at least win one of the Music & Lyrics nominations and has a strong chance to win her second Drama Actress Emmy especially for episode 5 of Euphoria.
