<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">#Roommates, the wait is finally over, as the 2021 <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/hbo-announces-they-will-not-be-moving-forward-with-the-second-season-of-lovecraft-country/">Emmy</a> nominations have finally been announced! After sending shockwaves through the Internet following its abrupt cancellation, HBO’s &#8216;Lovecraft Country&#8217; was one of the biggest success stories this year, racking up a whopping 18 nominations. Critically-acclaimed shows like &#8216;Pose,&#8217; &#8216;Bridgerton,&#8217; &#8216;Black-ish&#8217; and &#8216;This Is Us&#8217; also earned multiple nominations.</p>
<p>While several of the 2021 Emmy nominees are being discussed, arguably none are getting as much attention as &#8216;Lovecraft Country&#8217; due to its inspiring comeback story. Earlier this month, fans of the show were devastated to learn of the show’s unexpected cancellation—but now a well-earned 18 nominations definitely make the unfortunate news of the show’s end a little bit easier to accept. Of the show’s nominations, Jurnee Smollett earned a nomination for Lead Actress In A Drama Series, Jonathan Majors for Lead Actor In A Drama Series, Outstanding Drama Series, and Courtney B. Vance for Outstanding Guest Actor.</p>
<p>After officially ending its three-season run, FX’s Emmy-winning LGBTQ+ series &#8216;Pose&#8217; also earned nominations for series stars Billy Porter and MJ Rodriguez for Lead Actor and Lead Actress In A Drama Series. Meanwhile, Netflix’s massive hit period drama &#8216;Bridgerton&#8217; racked up a dozen nominations of its own, including Lead Actor In A Drama Series for Rege-Jean Page and Outstanding Drama Series. Tracee Ellis Ross and Anthony Anderson once again received nominations for Lead Actress and Lead Actor for their roles on ABC’s &#8216;Black-ish,&#8217; which will end its run with its final season this fall. Emmy winner Sterling K. Brown also received another nomination for his role on NBC’s hit family drama &#8216;This Is Us.&#8217;</p>
<p>Elsewhere, the #BlackExcellence was also shining on other stars who earned Emmy nominations, including Michaela Coel for HBO’s &#8216;I May Destroy You,&#8217; Cynthia Erivo for the National Geographic anthology series &#8216;Aretha,&#8217; Leslie Odom Jr. for &#8216;Hamilton&#8217; and the legendary Phylicia Rashad for her guest appearance on &#8216;This Is Us.&#8217; You can check the full list of nominees <a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href="https://www.emmys.com/awards/nominations">here</a>.</p>
