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.
