The nominations for the 2025 Emmy Awards were revealed Tuesday morning, but some of the glaring omissions stood out even more than the nominees.
One of the most shocking omissions from the nominations was for Selena Gomez, who has a long history of snubs for her popular series Only Murders In The Building.
While her Hulu show has been nominated in multiple years for Outstanding Comedy Series, it wasn’t until last year that Selena finally earned an Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series nomination.
But the Emmys snatched away any hopes of her finally winning the award at the 2025 ceremony when she was left out of that category’s nominees, who include Uzo Aduba (The Residence), Kristen Bell (Nobody Wants This), Quinta Brunson (Abbott Elementary) Ayo Edebiri (The Bear) and Jean Smart (Hacks).
This year, Only Murders In The Building secured a lead-actor nomination for Martin Short, but Steve Martin, the other key member of the lead trio, was also snubbed after receiving a nomination in 2024.
Oscar winner Meryl Streep received plenty of buzz for joining the comedy series — in which a group of podcasting neighbors try to solve a series of murders that occur in their proximity — during its third season, but she also wasn’t able to garner an Emmy nomination.

Only Murders In The Building has received Emmy nominations for years, but Selena only was nominated for Lead Actress in 2024, and she was bounced from the category this year; seen on Only Murders In The Building with (L–R) Steve Martin and Martin Short
Streep has been attracting buzz both on- and off-screen for the role, as she and Martin Short reportedly began dating after she joined the series in a supporting role.
Their chemistry in front of the camera will likely be even more palpable in the upcoming fifth season, as their characters will now be married.
Despite the individual acting Emmy snubs, Only Murders In The Building again scored an Outstanding Comedy Series nod.
Also joining the ranks of snubbed stars are Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren, both of whom lead the popular Yellowstone prequel 1923.
Although the Taylor Sheridan–helmed universe of Yellowstone spinoffs have proven to be fan favorites, they haven’t been favorites among critics.
Although Renée Zellweger’s latest Bridget Jones sequel Mad About The Boy was released theatrically in other countries, it went straight to the Peacock streaming service in the US, meaning that she could have been eligible for Outstanding Lead Actress in a limited series/movie.
But even though the movie was a hit with critics — who seemed to prefer it over the previous entry in the series — Zellweger was left out of the conversation on Tuesday morning.
The comedian Megan Stalter has seen her profile rapidly increase due to starring in Lena Dunham’s new Netflix rom-com Too Much, but it was her scene-stealing turn in Hacks that she would have been eligible for.

Although Renée Zellweger’s latest Bridget Jones sequel Mad About The Boy (pictured) made her eligible for a nomination because it premiered on Peacock, but she was shut out

Another snubbed actress was Natasha Lyonne, who has attracted stellar reviews for her Peacock mystery comedy Poker Face (pictured)
Although The White Lotus season three earned plenty of nominations, one surprising omission was an acting nod for Patrick Schwarzenegger (R). His disturbing incest storyline was one of the most talked-about parts of the season
One of the best reviewed recent dramas was HBO Max’s The Pitt, but only series lead Noah Wylie and supporting actress Katherine LaNasa secured nominations, while the rest of its beloved ensemble cast was shut out
Alas, Stalter failed to earn a Supporting Actress nod.
Hacks series creator Paul W. Downs, who also has a supporting part on the show, was also snubbed despite Hacks being a reliable award winner.
Another snubbed actress was Natasha Lyonne, who has attracted stellar reviews for her Peacock mystery comedy Poker Face.
The series — which was created by Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Knives Out director Rian Johnson — is inspired by the classic mystery series Columbo and features Lyonne as a former casino employee on the run from mobsters who has an uncanny ability to tell whenever someone is lying to her.
Although The White Lotus season three earned plenty of nominations, one surprising omission was an acting nod for Patrick Schwarzenegger.
His disturbing incest storyline was one of the most talked-about parts of the season, which scored a bevy of other nominations in the supporting categories for Walton Goggins, Jason Isaacs, Sam Rockwell, Carrie Coon, Parker Posey, Natasha Rockwell and Aimee Lou Wood.
One of the best reviewed recent dramas was HBO Max’s The Pitt, which stars Noah Wylie as Dr. Michael ‘Robby’ Robinavitch, a senior attending physician supervising a team of medical students and residents at an overcrowded and underfunded hospital emergency room in Pittsburgh.
Although several critics have declared it the best medical drama since ER, and its ensemble cast has been widely praised, only Wylie and Katherine LaNasa secured acting nominations, while the rest of its beloved cast were shut out.
