Selena Gomez bags Emmy Nomination as producer

Selena Gómez became the second Latina to be nominated for an Emmy Award as a producer for the comedy series Only Murders in the Building, after Salma Hayek for Ugly Betty in 2007.

Along with co-stars Martin Short and Steve Martin, who were nominated for best actor in a comedy series, the 29-year-old star is listed for the most prestigious awards in American television.

In the 74-year history of the Emmy Awards, Gómez's inclusion marks just the second instance of a Latina being among the producers nominated for a comedy series (after Salma Hayek), according to Variety.

They claimed that just one Latina (Celia D. Costas for Angels in America in 2004) had ever taken home a major win as a producer.

However, it was unexpected that Gomez was not one of the acting candidates by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for his lead role in Only Murders in the Building.
