Issa Rae is also a contender for the same category Quinta is in for Best Lead in a Comedy Series. This is Issa’s second time being nominated in the category for “Insecure”
Zendaya scores THREE #Emmys nominations this year.

Zendaya’s performance in “Euphoria” was an obvious shoe in for an Emmy nod, but she is also nominated for original songs. She is also breaking a record for the youngest producing nominee in Emmy Award history. She also is now the youngest two-time lead acting nominee ever.
