Emmys 2025 diversity report shows decline in actors of color despite historic nominations
Actors of color representation drops to five-year low The 2025 Emmy nominations produced mixed results for diversity representation, with actors of color comprising 24 of 94 total nominees in main acting categories. This represents a decline from 2024's 30 nominees of color, which constituted 31 per cent of all acting nominations. The 2025 figures mark the lowest representation for actors of color in five years, falling short of the 2022 peak when 42 of 108 nominees (39 per cent) were people of color, representing the highest percentage in Emmy history. The current numbers also trail 2020's 37 nominees of color. Also read: Emmy Nominations 2025: 'Severance,' 'The White Lotus' and 'Adolescence' to bag big scores?

Lead comedy actress category achieves majority women of color The lead comedy actress category features a majority of women of color for the second consecutive year, including Brunson, Uzo Aduba from "The Residence," and Ayo Edebiri.

Severance leads 2025 Emmy nomination pack: Where it triumphed and where it fell short
Severance is back at the front of the pack. This year, it's bagged 27 Emmy nominations, more than any other show. Not bad for a series about corporate drones who've had their minds split in two so they can't remember what they do all day. The show's main hook is as bleak as it is brilliant. Lumon Industries, a shadowy biotech giant, has perfected a procedure that divides its workers into 'innies' and 'outies'. At work, you don't remember home. At home, you have no clue what you've done all day. The lines between free will and control, identity and obedience, blur fast. Britt Lower is up for lead actress for her turn as Helly R., whose rebellious streak inside Lumon's sterile corridors sets the second season's engine roaring. She's up against heavyweights like Kathy Bates for Matlock and Bella Ramsey for The Last of Us, but Lower's character arc is the show's pulse. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you have a mouse, this game will keep you up all night.

This is his second time in this category for Severance, and he's joined by co-stars Tramell Tillman, John Turturro, Zach Cherry and Patricia Arquette in the supporting slots. Together they turn Lumon's basement offices into one of the strangest, saddest places on TV. Severance at the 2025 Emmys: Where it scored and where it fell short Best Drama Series No shock. Severance has topped Emmy odds all year. Live Events Real question: can it beat Andor, The Diplomat, The Last of Us, Paradise, The Pitt, Slow Horses and The White Lotus? Best Actor Adam Scott makes it two for two. His Mark vs Mark face-off keeps him a frontrunner, with Noah Wyle (The Pitt) right there too.

Crafts (14) Back for casting, titles, score, editing (3) and production design. Added cinematography, music supervision, sound, stunts, VFX, choreography (Milchick's band). Missed costumes, hair, makeup. The competition: Birds, resorts and broken teens While Severance sits pretty at the top, it's got strong rivals. HBO's The Penguin is the year's biggest limited series contender with 24 nominations. Colin Farrell, unrecognisable as Oz Cobb, earned a nod for lead actor, while Cristin Milioti got one for lead actress. The series follows up on The Batman film, zeroing in on Gotham's underworld. The White Lotus, now firmly in the drama camp, matched The Studio with 23 nods. Its third season dragged its privileged guests to Koh Samui, Thailand. Dark secrets, moral rot and ocean views—business as usual for Mike White's vicious satire. Supporting nods went to a cluster of its ensemble cast, including Walton Goggins and Parker Posey. Over on Netflix, Adolescence proved a surprise hit. Stephen Graham co-created and starred in this raw look at a 13-year-old accused of murder. Graham called young lead Owen Cooper's debut 'an astonishing debut', telling The Envelope, 'I can't find enough superlatives to describe the boy.' Cooper, just 15, could join the tiny club of teenagers to ever win an Emmy. Old hands, new highs This year also gave us a couple of firsts. Harrison Ford, at 83, bagged his first career Emmy nomination for Shrinking, a bittersweet comedy where he plays a sardonic therapist. Meanwhile, RuPaul broke his own record, becoming the most nominated reality host in Emmys history for RuPaul's Drag Race. And yes, the usual heavy hitters turned up. The Bear roared back with Jeremy Allen White leading the comedy actor pack. Quinta Brunson returned for Abbott Elementary, continuing her roll as both star and creator. It's easy to see why Severance keeps pulling in nominations. It's not just dystopian window dressing. It holds up a warped mirror to office culture, asking what we trade away every time we clock in. In an era when work and life bleed into each other through screens and endless pings, the show's core question lands hard: if you could cut work out of your mind entirely, would you? And what would you lose in the process? Behind the glossy Apple TV+ sheen is a series that refuses to let you forget who's really in control. It's sharp, unsettling, and still weirdly funny. No other show this year stitches existential dread to fluorescent office lights quite like it. Come 14 September in Los Angeles, we'll see if it can convert those 27 nods into trophies. No matter what, Severance has already done what the best television does: it made us look at our own lives and ask if we're really awake.

Mariners' Star Cal Raleigh Earns Championship Belt from Former Undisputed WWE Champion After Derby Victory
Cal Raleigh (Image Source: calraleigh_/Instagram) Cal Raleigh was on fire Tuesday in the 2025 MLB Home Run Derby at Truist Park in Atlanta, becoming the first catcher in history ever, and then the first switch-hitter to take the top prize. Famed for his monster power and regular contribution of big flies, Raleigh not only won the honour but a one-of-a-kind prize, a custom WWE Championship belt awarded by the former Undisputed WWE Champion himself, Cody Rhodes. Cody Rhodes surprises the crowd with a WWE moment Things got electric when "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes showed up after Raleigh's win. And in his iconic WWE gear, Rhodes walked out onto the field to give Raleigh a custom WWE Championship belt designed with MLB and Home Run Derby logos. It was an electrifying moment that combined the worlds of baseball and pro wrestling, getting the fans in the stadium and at home buzzing. The crossover celebration emphasized MLB's plans to combine sports and entertainment over All-Star Weekend. Raleigh, clearly choked up and thrilled, raised the belt high above his head as the cheers rang out around the ballpark. As if the night weren't already legendary, the novelty of the presentation (easily a highlight of the All-Star festivities instantly) also made the night memorable. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Warren Buffett Says These 5 Books Are a Must-Read for 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Cal Raleigh's historic path to the championship Cal Raleigh saw the Derby run play out with drama, power, and precision. With 38 home runs, the Mariners slugger entered the event with the most homers in MLB at the All-Star break and proved the reason why he is among the most feared hitters in the game today. Raleigh narrowly edged past Brent Rooker in round one, deadlocked in the home run tiebreaker. The longest homer of the round got Raleigh ahead, but it was narrowly, just 0.08 feet farther than Rooker's best shot. He eased through the semifinals, taking out Oneil Cruz with 19 homers, then finished off the night with 18 homers in the finals to outslug 22-year-old Tampa Bay upstart Junior Caminero, who ended with 15. By hitting an impressive total of 54 home runs in all rounds combined, Raleigh not only took home the $1 million prize but also secured a spot in Derby history. The real family atmosphere continued, with Raleigh's father pitching to him and his brother caging in the earlier rounds — a heart-warming backdrop to all the power of the night.
