The Emmy Award nominations are in, and there are congratulations in order.
There are over 140 people and shows nominated this year, and only two and a half black people were recognized.
That’s a big deal for the Emmy Awards.
We are going to throw our support behind the only 2.5 black people nominated – including Beyonce’s performance. She’s the half.
The Black people nominated are…
Kerry Washington in Scandal
Nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in A Drama Series
And…
Don Cheadle in House of Lies
Nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series.
The Halftime Show for Super Bowl XLVII Halftime starring Beyonce & the NFL Network & CBS
Nominated for Outstanding Special Class-Short Format Live-Action Entertainment Program.
Congrats to the very few black people who made the cut. Side eye.
