This year, Issa Rae is nominated for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series for her work on HBO’s Insecure. This is the only Emmy nomination for Insecure this year. The show is a comedy-drama series based on Issa Rae’s web series, Awkward Black Girl.

Issa was nominated for a Golden Globe for her acting work on this show back in 2017, but she lost to Rachel Brosnahan. I don’t think this year is Issa Rae’s year to win, but I am very happy that she’s nominated. Her show definitely deserves the recognition.
