Latinos Make Historic Gains at 2022 Emmys But Overall Diversity Still Lacking

  • Pedro Pascal and Jenna Ortega become the first Latino actor and actress nominated for Emmys in lead comedy and drama categories in over 15 years.
  • Aubrey Plaza and 10-year-old deaf actor Kevionn Martin also make Emmy history for Latinos and the disabled community.
  • While these nominations are groundbreaking, Latinos and other minorities remain underrepresented compared to their share of the U.S. population.
  • Veteran stars like Steve Martin and Harrison Ford were surprisingly snubbed in major categories.
  • Activists continue calls for Hollywood to expand diversity and inclusion both in front of and behind the camera.
