<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">TSR Black Excellence: The Emmys are benefitting from a LOT of melanin this year and we’re here for the representation in these nominations!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Just in the categories for acting alone, there are at least 32 Black actors and actresses nominated for their performances in a variety of shows. Some of our veteran actors are being acknowledged for their greatness including Regina King, Don Cheadle, Angela Bassett and Eddie Murphy!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Then we have Zendaya, who wowed people with her performance in HBO’s “Euphoria,” earning her her first nomination ever as well as another HBO star, Yvonne Orji, getting her MUCH overdue credit for playing Molly on “Insecure.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">SWIPE to see the black excellence being celebrated for the 2020 Emmys.</span></p>
