Emmy, Andor
Digest more
With 14 Emmy noms today for the second season of Disney+/Lucasfilm’s Andor –the third most ever for a Star Wars show after the second and first seasons of The Mandalorian (24 noms and 15 noms)–you’d think there be some cause to celebrate.
Andor creator Tony Gilroy on the Star Wars series' Emmy nominations and the nominations that they didn't get too.
The Star Wars series—which is by far one of the best TV shows of the year—only nabbed one performance-related nomination from the awards body. Why?
Sen. Alex Padilla's forcible removal from a Dept. of Homeland Security press conference is among the real-world events the 'Andor' showrunner likens to his 'Star Wars' prequel.
Selena Gomez, who scored her first acting nomination for her role on 'Only Murders in the Building' last year, was also left out of this year's nominees, along with 'Andor' star Diego Luna and 'White Lotus' actor Patrick Schwarzenegger.

Only Martin Short got a nomination this year for Only Murders in the Building, leaving co-stars Selena Gomez and Steve Martin in the dust. With the addition of shows like Nobody Wants This, The Residence and The Studio this award cycle, it was going to get tougher to get both Martins AND Gomez in, but it's tough to see regardless.
A slow-burning tale about the creep of authoritarianism, the show explores how the “Star Wars” universe’s revolutionary Rebel Alliance is born from the wreckage of state surveillance, militarism and the erosion of civil liberties under the fascist-coded Galactic Empire.
Andor Season 2 has earned 14 Emmy nominations, including two for actors who reprised their old Rogue One roles.
