Sofia Vergara was nominated for an Emmy for Lead Actress in a Limited Series for her role in Griselda. In the series, Vergara plays Griselda Blanco, the real-life Colombian drug lord who worked in Miami during the 1970s through the early 2000s.

This is the fifth Emmy nomination of Vergara’s career. She was nominated four times prior for her role in the comedy series Modern Family.
Selena Gomez was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in Only Murders in the Building. This is Gomez’s first Emmy nomination as an actress. She was previously nominated as an executive producer for the series.
