Pose, Schitt's Creek, Killing Eve Among LGBTQ Shows With Emmy Noms

The Emmy nominations began rolling out today and among the nods already announced, Pose, Killing Eve, Schitt's Creek, Russian Doll, and Fosse/Verdon are the queer and LGBTQ-adjacent shows racking up honors.

Game of Thrones is leading with 32 nominations in the drama category, while The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel has 20 in the comedy category, according to Variety.

The landmark series Pose, about transgender women and the ball scene of the '80s/'90s, pulled in nominations in the Best Drama category and for star Billy Porter for Best Actor in a Drama. However, the Academy failed to nominate any of the trans actresses in the series that features more transgender actors than any other in TV history.

Meanwhile, the sexually charged cat-and-mouse thriller Killing Eve landed a nomination in the Best Drama category and nominations for Best Actress in a Drama for its leads Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer (who was snubbed last year). Another actress nominated for a queer role in that category is Viola Davis for How to Get Away With Murder.

The category for comedy series is jam-packed with LGBTQ content including Netflix's Russian Doll, written and directed by Leslye Headland, who is out. Schitt's Creek, created by Eugene Levy and his son Daniel Levy (who is gay) finally got recognition for its fifth season. The other nominated shows are Fleabag, The Good Place, Veep, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, which all have LGBTQ characters or a queer sensibility.

Similarly, the category for Lead Actress in a Comedy Series is brimming with performances in shows that are either very queer or have a queer appeal, like Catherine O'Hara's nomination in Schitt's Creek or Natasha Lyonne's nomination in Russian Doll. The other nominees are Christina Applegate for Dead to Me, Rachel Brosnahan for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Julia Louis-Dreyfus for Veep, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge for Fleabag.

In the supporting actress in a drama category dominated by Game of Thrones stars, out actress Fiona Shaw landed a nomination for her role in Killing Eve.

Meanwhile, Alex Borstein landed a nomination for her queer-coded role in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel while Kate McKinnon pulled in another for Saturday Night Live.

A Very English Scandal, about a famous court case involving a closeted member of British Parliament in the 1960s and '70s, earned a nomination in the Limited Series category, while its stars Hugh Grant was nominated for best actor and Ben Whishaw for best-supporting actor.

Fosse/Verdon, which doesn't feature leading LGBTQ characters but charts the marriage and careers of musical theater icons Gwen Verdon and Bob Fosse, earned a nod for the series and for its leads Michelle Williams and Sam Rockwell.

Another series that was embraced by LGBTQ viewers, HBO's Sharp Objects, landed nominations for the show in the Limited Series category, for Amy Adams in the leading actress category, and for Patricia Clarkson for supporting actress.

Laverne Cox earned a nomination in the category for guest actress in a drama for Orange Is the New Black while Cherry Jones was nominated for her guest part in The Handmaid's Tale. Meanwhile, Jane Lynch pulled in a nomination for guest actress in a comedy for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

The Television Academy also recognized Ava DuVernay's acclaimed and important Netflix series When They See Us, about the Central Park Five. That show earned a nomination in the limited series category while its stars Aunjanue Ellis, Niecy Nash, and Jharrel Jerome all earned nominations.

In the Outstanding Competition category, RuPaul's Drag Race landed another nomination while RuPaul was nominated in the host category. Ellen DeGeneres was also nominated in the host category for Ellen's Game of Games.

The beloved and iconically queer musical RENT stands out with a nomination under the Live Variety Special category, which starred an immensely talented cast, including non-binary drag queen Valentina.

Hannah Gadsby picked up two nomations for her hilarious and brutally honest comedy special Nanette, for both her writing and her breakout show amongst other Variety Specials.

The nominations for short-form TV included several nods for LGBTQ programming including one for Netflix's Special, Funny or Die's Billy on the Street and Gay of Thrones, and Youtube's The Randy Rainbow Show, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
