The young actress Zendaya, star of the HBO series “Euphoria”, broke yet another record at the 2022 Emmys, for which nominations were announced today.
Zendaya garnered four nominations in this 2022 Primetime Emmy for “Euphoria” and became the youngest producer to be nominated for an Emmy at just 25 years old. By 2020, Zendaya had already made history by becoming the youngest star in a grassroots production to win an Emmy, aged just 24 at the time.
Plus, she became only the second black woman to win the Best Actress category in a drama series at the time. The first of her was Viola Davis in 2015, for “How to get away with murder”.
In addition to being nominated as a producer with “Euphoria” in the nominees for Best Drama Series, Zendaya was again nominated for Best Actress in a Drama Series category. She also accumulates two other nominations, in the Lyrics and Original Music category, for two songs of “Euphoria”.
Zendaya was nominated for “Elliot’s Song”, from the episode “All My Life, My Heart Has Wanted One Thing I Can’t Name” (lyrics and music by Labrinth and lyrics by Muzhda Zemar-McKenzie and Zendaya), and also for the song “I’m Tired” from the episode “You Who Cannot See, Think of those Who Can” (lyrics and music by Labrinth and lyrics by Zendaya and Sam Levinson).
With these nominations and Best Actress, Zendaya also becomes the first woman of color, and the second person of color, to be nominated for both writing and performance at the same Emmy.
At the moment, Zendaya is in the middle of filming “Dune: Part Two”, a science fiction by Denis Villeneuve adapting Frank Herbert’s iconic work.
