The 2024 Emmy Awards nominations have sparked outrage among fans as several high-profile stars, including Selena Gomez and Oscar Isaac, were conspicuously absent from the list. Despite their critically acclaimed performances, the duo failed to secure nods, leaving many questioning the selection process.
Selena Gomez's Surprising Omission
Selena Gomez, who stars in the hit series Only Murders in the Building, was widely expected to receive a nomination for her role as Mabel Mora. Her co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short both earned nods, making her exclusion even more baffling. Fans took to social media to express their disappointment, with many calling it one of the biggest snubs of the year.
Oscar Isaac Overlooked for Moon Knight
Oscar Isaac, who delivered a powerhouse performance in Disney+'s Moon Knight, was also left out of the running. His portrayal of the complex character Marc Spector/Steven Grant had been praised by critics and audiences alike, making his absence from the nominations a shock to many.
Other Notable Snubs
The Emmy snubs didn't stop there. Several other fan favourites were overlooked, including:
- Bella Ramsey (The Last of Us)
- Dominic West (The Crown)
- Elizabeth Debicki (The Crown)
These omissions have led to heated debates online, with many accusing the Emmy voters of favouring established names over fresh talent.
What's Next for the Snubbed Stars?
Despite the disappointment, both Gomez and Isaac have busy schedules ahead. Gomez is set to release new music later this year, while Isaac is rumoured to be in talks for several high-profile film projects. Their fans remain hopeful that their talents will be recognised in future award seasons.
The 2024 Emmy Awards ceremony will take place on September 15, and all eyes will be on whether the winners can justify the controversial nominations.
