‘Abbott Elementary’ and Quinta Brunson Could School the Emmys With Record-Breaking Nominations for Black Women

18.04.2022 - 22:43 / variety.com

Clayton Davis If the Oscars were looking for a good mood with “CODA,” then the TV Academy might look to Philadelphia school teachers’ delightful and charming maneuvers with ABC’s hit show “Abbott Elementary,” which just had its season finale on April 12. Created, written and executive produced by it-girl Quinta Brunson, the mockumentary sitcom serves as a lovely reminder of the challenges that educators face daily, both in pre- and post-pandemic society, that undervalues their contributions and roles in the lives of our children.

As broadcast television continues its struggles with viewership and overall presence in the awards races, the ABC comedy could be one of the freshman series that aces it with the Television Academy and its members. With Brunson’s multiple duties on the show, she has three shots at possible nominations, including outstanding comedy series, lead actress in a comedy and outstanding writing for a comedy series.

If recognized in all three, she would be the first Black woman to receive three Emmy noms for the same series.Read more: Variety’s Awards Circuit Emmys Predictions HubThe series is not only a critical smash, with nearly a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes, but even after a slow start with its premiere back in December, the show became the first comedy to quadruple its ratings since its original airing, jumping more than 300% after 35 days of viewing across linear and digital platforms.The show’s popularity boom could point to the industry’s yearning for more positive, optimistic programming and narrative works. After a two-year global pandemic and a politically divided country, people are seeking hope for their future.
