Quinta Brunson’s ‘Abbott Elementary’ Is Nominated For 9 Emmys, Driving Recognition In Black Hollywood

The 2024 Emmy nominations are out, and some of our favorite Black Hollywood “it girls” and “it guys” are up for golden statues. These black actors and actresses are not just nominated; they are changing the game in various categories, from comedy and drama to reality TV and game shows.

These culture celebs exemplify Black excellence, achieving recognition among their peers—some for the first time.

This year’s nominees include a diverse mix of vibrant veteran Emmy nominees, winners, and fabulous fresh faces. Announced on July 17 by the Academy and Sheryl Lee Ralph, the honorees all ‘deliver stories that connect us, uplift us, challenge us, and always entertain us.’

We are rooting for every single one of them.

‘Abbott Elementary’ Leads the 2024 Emmys, Recognizing Black Excellence

Sheryl Lee Ralph wasn’t just on hand to announce the 2024 nods; she was/is notably nominated for the third time for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for Abbott Elementary. The 67-year-old took home the golden statue for her role as “Barbara Howard” in 2022.

But Sheryl isn’t the only Abbott Elementary show star with a nod this year. In fact, the hit show has nine Emmy nominations. Janelle James, Tyler James Williams, and Quinta Brunson all have nods.

Quinta’s brainchild, Abbott Elementary, “remains a driver of Emmy diversity.” Without it, the number of Black nominees would be much lower.

“BEYOND proud of Abbott’s 9 Emmy nominations, including outstanding comedy series,“ Quinta wrote on Instagram to celebrate the glowing announcement. “Thank you @televisionacad! And thank you to our fans, who we share this celebratory day with! Love ya’ll!”

Let’s give Quinta her flowers now. She continues to take the industry by storm, putting Black talent on screen – and we are here for it.
