NOMINATION BREAKDOWN

Ethnic breakdown of nominations. * Stats are as close to accurate based on our analysis as possible.

 Notes:

  • Diverse refers to programming that has a mix of people from various racial/ethnic backgrounds as a part of the cast or as hosts and correspondents.

  • While there were nominations for diverse programming featuring Asian/Asian American and Pacific Islanders as a part of the diverse cast or as a cohost or correspondent. Five nominations represented an individual Asian/AAPI as an actor or host of a series from 2022.

  • Among Hispanic/Latino programming nominated there was a smaller mix of programming featuring Hispanic Americans at the center (three) and Hispanic Americans as a part of diverse programming.

  • One nomination went to a specific Middle Eastern host and other Middle Easterns were featured among diverse series nominations.

  • There was no specific programming nominated featuring Native Americans. People of other non-white ethnicities were slightly visible as a part of a diverse cast or host and correspondents’ positions.

  • The predominant non-white nominations went to those from the African American community or those from Black immigrant backgrounds.

The full list of nominees is below.

Update: An earlier edition of the nominations included Victoria Grace in the Outstanding Younger Actor category. Since the actress has rescinded her nomination. We have updated the article to reflect those changes.
