Stars you didn’t know were Emmy nominees this year

The 2022 Emmy Awards nominations are filled with major stars and multiple nominees – big names like Zendaya (a three-time nominee this year, including Best Actress in a Drama Series for “Euphoria”), Bill Hader (a four-time nominee this year, including Best Actor in a Comedy Series for “Barry”), and Quinta Brunson (a three-time nominee this year, including Best Actress in a Comedy Series for “Abbott Elementary”), all of whom will add more individual nominations when the Television Academy officially confirms their respective producing credits for series nominees.
