Following her historic award nominations, Selena Gomez shared a single emoji on social media

Selena Gomez deserves congratulations for making history today with her Emmy nominations.

A fresh turning point in Gomez’s career was reached when the Only Murders in the Building actress was nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy Series for the first time.

She naturally announced the distinction on her Instagram Story, expressing her happiness with just one emoji—a teary-eyed smiling face.

Gomez is among the nominees for Outstanding Comedy Series for her role as the show’s executive producer, Only Murders in the Building. In 2022 and 2023, the series (together with Gomez) received nominations in this category as well.

According to Deadline, this makes Gomez the most Latina producer to receive an Emmy nomination in the history of the best comedy series category.

Gomez’s Oscar nominations follow her victory in the Best Actress category at the Cannes Film Festival in May, when she shared the prize with Adriana Paz, Zoe Saldaña,

and Karla Sofía Gascón, all co-stars with Emilia Pérez. Gomez wrote, «I’m so excited!» in a social media post following her news announcement.

Gomez discussed focusing on acting instead of music in an interview with Rolling Stone March.

She stated, «I think it’s normal for people to take breaks, but there’s another part of my life that I think is really important—pride and joy.» «I adore movies. I adore television.

Simply put, I feel like I haven’t accomplished many of my goals in that area. It’s not that I say «no, never» to music; rather, it’s that I’d like to delve a little deeper into that realm and have more time to do so.

«I enjoy taking on roles that I have to fight for in the acting industry, as opposed to ones that are given to me,» she continued. «I’m aiming for the things that truly, truly inspire me.»
