Celebrity reactions to award nomination: Sofia Vergara, David Beckham and others
Television’s biggest night is nearly here.
After all, the 2024 Emmy nominations have just been announced, and the anticipation will only continue to build until the ceremony airs live Sept. 15 from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
Abbott Elementary’s Sheryl Lee Ralph and Veep alum Tony Hale announced every nominee for the small screen’s biggest honor in a livestream on July 17—and their list proves the 76th annual Emmy Awards could be the most competitive yet.
Sofía Vergara made history with her nod for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology series for Griselda.
While the 52-year-old already had four nominations under her belt for her performance in Modern Family, she is the first Latina to ever be nominated for her category.
«Griselda was my first dramatic role ever, and it took us 15 years to bring her to life,» the America’s Got Talent host said in a statement. «I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who was a part of this series.»
And in addition to thanking her collaborators, including director Andres Baiz and her costar Alberto Guerra,
she congratulated her fellow nominees Jodie Foster (True Detective), Brie Larson (Lessons in Chemistry), Juno Temple (Fargo) and Naomi Watts (Feud: Capote vs. The Swans).
«I never dreamed that after Modern Family, I would be able to work on something as special as Griselda,» Sofia continued.
«I’m honored to be recognized alongside Jodie, Brie, Juno, and Naomi, incredible women who gave us incredible TV this year.»
As for the frontrunners this year? The Bear set a record for the most nominations for a comedy series with 23 nods, beating out 30 Rock’s 2009 feat of 22.
Only Murders in the Building followed closely behind with 21 nods, while Abbott Elementary took eight total.
