2025 Emmy Nominations Highlight Record LGBTQ+ Representation

News summary

The 77th Emmy Awards nominations announced in July 2025 showcase significant recognition for queer talent and LGBTQ+ themes across television. Ayo Edebiri made history with nominations for Outstanding Lead Actress and Outstanding Directing in a Comedy Series, becoming the second woman ever to receive acting and directing nods in comedy in the same year and the youngest Black woman with three acting nominations. The comedy series Hacks earned 14 nominations, including for queer actors Hannah Einbinder and Robby Hoffman, while The Last of Us received 16 nominations with Bella Ramsey nominated for their role as Ellie. Despite some snubs of queer-themed shows, LGBTQ+ representation remains strong in the nominations, reflecting a growing presence in mainstream awards. Complementing the Emmys, the 2025 Gayming Awards celebrated LGBTQ+ excellence in gaming and television, honoring titles like Dragon Age: The Veilguard and Arcane: Season 2 for their positive queer representation. Both events highlight ongoing progress in visibility and inclusion for LGBTQ+ individuals in entertainment media.
