Selena Gomez Earns Two Primetime Emmy Nominations for “Only Murders in the Building”

Posted on July 17, 2024 by Tom Castaneda

Selena Gomez is celebrating a historic primtetime showing…

The 2024 Primetime Emmy Awards nominations have been revealed, with the 31-year-old Mexican American actress, singer, producer and businesswoman earning a nod for serving as an executive producer on Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building.

Gomez’s acclaimed series, in which she stars, is nominated in the Outstanding Comedy Series.

It’s her second nomination in the category for Only Murders in the Building, making her the most Emmy-nominated Latina producer nominated in the category.

But that’s not all…

Gomez earned her first-ever Primetime Emmy nomination in the Best Actress in a Comedy Series category for her portrayal of Mabel on Only Murders in the Building.

Created by John Hoffman and Steve Martin, Only Murders In The Building follows Charles (Martin), Oliver (Martin Short) & Mabel (Gomez), three strangers who share an obsession with true crime. Each season, the trio is tasked with unraveling the mysteries behind a new murder.

Sofia Vergara has picked up her first acting nod in a drama category.

The 52-year-old Colombian actress, who previously earned four Emmy nominations in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her work on Modern Family, is up for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for leading the cast of Netflix’s Griselda.

The recognition makes Colombia-born Vergara the first Latina born in a Latin country, nominated in the Lead Actress in a Limited Series category. Latin American Anya Taylor-Joy—who won in the category for The Queen’s Gambit—was born in Miami to an Argentine father.

Fred Armisen has picked up his 15th Emmy nomination.

The 57-year-old half-Venezuelan American actor, former Saturday Night Live star and musician earned a nod in the Outstanding Music Direction category for serving as the music director of Late Night with Seth Meyers.

Liza Colón-Zayas has earned her first-ever Emmy nod.

The 52-year-old Puerto Rican actress is nominated in the Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series category for her performance in The Bear.

Nestor Carbonell is also a first-time nominee…

The 56-year-old Cuban American actor is nominated in the Guest Actor in a Drama Series category for his performance in Shōgun.

Carlos Rafael Rivera has earned two nominations this year.

The 53-year-old Guatemalan Grammy composer, who has won two Emmys and a Grammy, is nominated in the Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music and Outstanding Music Composition for a Limited or Anthology Series, Movie or Special (Original Dramatic Score) categories for his work on Lessons in Chemistry.

The forthcoming show will arrive just months after the delayed 2023 Emmy Awards were broadcast in early January due to last year’s actors’ and writers’ strikes.

Shows eligible for the Primetime Emmys must have been broadcast in the US between June 1, 2023 and May 31, 2024, with the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences choosing the nominees.

Winners will be revealed at the live ceremony on Sunday, September 15.

Hulu Renews Selena Gomez’s “Only Murders in the Building” for Third Season

Posted on July 11, 2022 by Tom Castaneda

Selena Gomez isn’t leaving the building just yet…

Hulu has ordered a third season of the 29-year-old Mexican American actress/singer’s acclaimed series Only Murders in the Building from 20th Television.

The first season debuted as the most-watched comedy series in Hulu Originals’ history and is considered a favorite in several categories going into this week’s Emmy nominations.

New episodes of the current second season stream weekly on Tuesdays.

In addition to Gomez, the comedy also stars Steve Martin and Martin Short.

It hails from co-creators and writers Steve Martin and John Hoffman. Martin and Hoffman executive produce along with Short, Gomez, Dan Fogelman and Jess Rosenthal.

“Only Murders in the Building is the true crown jewel of our slate,” said Craig Erwich, President of Hulu Originals and ABC Entertainment, in a statement. “Its appeal across generations, the intersection of humor and heart, and its truly original approach are a hallmark of and testament to Dan, John, Steve, Marty and Selena’s work. We are grateful to be able to continue telling the stories of Charles, Oliver and Mabel to viewers that have consistently shown us they crave more of this story.”

Here’s the synopsis for Season 2: Following the shocking death of Arconia Board President Bunny Folger, Charles, Oliver and Mabel race to unmask her killer. However, three (unfortunate) complications ensue: The trio is publicly implicated in Bunny’s homicide, they are now the subjects of a competing podcast, and they have to deal with a bunch of New York neighbors who all think they committed murder.

Hulu has announced plans to premiere the second season of its acclaimed comedy series Only Murders in the Building, starring the 29-year-old Mexican American actress/singer, Martin Short and Steve Martin on June 28.

The series’ first season introduced viewers to Mabel Mora (Gomez), struggling Broadway director Oliver Putnam (Short) and semi-retired TV actor Charles-Haden Savage (Martin), three strangers who came to bond over their obsession with true crime. After a suspicious death in their New York apartment building, the Arconia, the neighbors decide to start their own podcast about their investigation of the death, which the police ruled a suicide.

Season 2 picks up with the trio following the shocking death of Arconia Board President Bunny Folger (Jayne Houdyshell), as they race to unmask her killer. However, three (unfortunate) complications ensue—the trio is publicly implicated in Bunny’s homicide, they are now the subjects of a competing podcast, and they have to deal with a bunch of New York neighbors who all think they committed murder.

Only Murders in the Building debuted on Hulu last August and was renewed for a second season the following month.

The series hails from co-creators and writers Martin and John Hoffman, who executive produce along with Short, Gomez, This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman and Jess Rosenthal.

It received a SAG Awards nomination for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series.

Posted on June 24, 2021 by Tom Castaneda

Selena Gomez is ready to unravel mysteries…

Hulu has released the latest trailer for Only Murders in The Building, starring the 28-year-old Mexican American actress/singer, Steve Martin and Martin Short.

The teaser, which the streamer dropped on Tuesday, begs the question, “How well do you know your neighbors?”

“You see many of them everyday, but have you ever wondered what goes on behind their doors?” Martin asks.

Co-created and written by Martin and John Hoffman based on an idea by Martin, Only Murders In The Building follows three strangers (Martin, Short and Gomez) who share an obsession with true crime and suddenly find themselves wrapped up in one as they investigate the mysterious death of a neighbor in their New York City apartment building.

The trio of clueless neighbors form an amateur sleuthing group to unveil the secrets of their building and find the truth behind their neighbor’s death.

“We began with the question, ‘How well do you know your neighbors.’ Turns out the ones you knew best might be the ones you know the least,” Short adds.

Gomez, Martin and Short find secret passages, invaluable treasures and more. The teaser also provides viewers glimpses at additional cast members Amy Ryan and Nathan Lane.

Only Murders in the Building is executive produced by Martin and Hoffman along with Short, Gomez, Jamie Babbitt, This is Us creator Dan Fogelman and Jess Rosenthal.

20th Television Fox Television, part of Disney Television Studios, is the studio.

Amy Ryan and Aaron Dominguez also star. Nathan Lane will recur.
