She made history as the most-nominated Latina Producer. The actress stars as Mabel Mora on the hit Hulu comedy.
In the past, her OMITB costars Martin Short and Steve Martin were up for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series in 2022 and 2023 and she supported them at the awards ceremonies. Gomez, meanwhile, had solely been recognized for her work as an executive producer on the show about a sleuthing odd throuple, which was nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series both years.
At the 2024 Emmy Awards, which will be held on September 15, Gomez will compete against Abbott Elementary‘s Quinta Brunson, Hacks‘ Jean Smart, Loot‘s Maya Rudolph, and Palm Royale‘s Kristen Wiig. The singer/actress’ nomination marks the fourth time ever that a Latina performer has been recognized in the category, following Rita Morena in 1985 for 9 to 5, America Ferrera’s two Ugly Betty nods in 2007 and 2008, and last year, with Jenna Ortega in Wednesday.
OMITB is one of the most-nominated shows at the forthcoming awards show. It follows Shōgun, which received a whopping 25 nominations, and The Bear (competing with its second season that aired in June 2023) at 23, as the popular whodunnit garnered 21 total, including acting nods for Martin, Short, and season 3 new addition Meryl Streep, as well.
In the Outstanding Comedy Series category, OMITB is up against Abbott Elementary, The Bear, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Hacks, Palm Royale, Reservation Dogs, and What We Do in the Shadows.
