HuffPost
We're scratching our heads at "Emily in Paris," while delighted for "PEN15."
The 2021 Emmys had a smaller field of contenders than usual, as pandemic production delays sidelined many acclaimed shows. But still, there were plenty of snubs and surprises among this year’s nominees, announced Tuesday morning. Below, HuffPost reporters break down what we were excited to see and what we were sad to discover was omitted this year. The ceremony, hosted by Cedric the Entertainer, will air on Sept. 19 on CBS. SNUB: Thuso Mbedu, “The Underground Railroad,” Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series Thuso Mbedu’s performance in Amazon Prime Video’s “The Underground Railroad” was one of the most arresting portrayals of the year. As Cora, an enslaved woman who is on a journey to freedom across the antebellum South, Mbedu captures her audiences through her eyes and body language. The Barry Jenkins limited series, which is an adaptation of Colson Whitehead’s acclaimed novel of the same name, is a huge undertaking. Mbedu’s captivating performance makes all the emotional ups and downs of the limited series truly worth the ride. — Erin E. Evans
