The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (Television Academy) has announced the nominations for the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards, and HBO’s The Pitt leads with 25 nominations. But it appears that Filipino-American actress Isa Briones, who plays Dr. Trinity Santos, has been snubbed.
The Pitt’s Noah Wyle received a nomination for Lead Actor in a Drama Series, while co-stars Patrick Ball, Shawn Hatosy, and Gerran Howell received nominations for Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. Actresses Taylor Dearden, Fiona Dourif, Katherine LaNasa, and Sepideh Moafi were all given nods for Supporting Actress. Ernest Harden Jr., Jeff Kober, Brittany Allen, Tal Henderson, and Tina Ivlev were also nominated for the Guest Actor and Guest Actress categories. In total, The Pitt received 13 acting nominations, with Allen and Kober self-submitting after HBO left them out of its slate of official submissions. But where’s Briones’ nom?
Emmy nominations and snubs have been known to stir reactions from avid TV viewers. Briones and co-star Supriya Ganesh, who plays Dr. Samira Mohan, are considered by The Pitt fans to be the biggest snubs this year. Fellow Filipino-American actresses Amielynn Abellera and Kristin Villanueva, who play supporting roles, also didn’t get any love.
HBO’s sleeper hit financial drama Industry was another major snub, even after Myha’la and Marisa Abela (who have consistently given incredible performances since the first season) were submitted for the Lead Actress and Supporting Actress categories, respectively. The Bear’s Ayo Edebiri was given a nod for Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, but not lead actor Jeremy Allen White. Connor Storrie earned a nom for hosting Saturday Night Live, but comedian Ashley Padilla was overlooked even after her breakout season.
The deadline for errors and omissions is on July 22, according to the Television Academy’s rules and procedures, which means it has two weeks to rethink ignoring Briones and Ganesh.
