“For years I didn’t complain about the limited roles my people were offered…turns out not complaining doesn’t change anything. So, for the past few years, I’ve been complaining,” Leguizamo said.
“And I see lots of my incredibly talented Latinx brothers and sisters. Selena Gomez is nominated for “Only Murders in the Building.” And she’s been carrying Steve Martin and Martin Short for three whole seasons,” Leguizamo said as the crowd laughed.
The camera panned to Gomez as Leguizamo spoke, in which her face showed deep emotion and tears began to form in her eyes.
Only Murders in the Building
The “Only Murders in the Building” cast were assigned to announce the winner of the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series category.
The crowd laughed as Martin Short, Steve Martin, and Gomez took the stage to make jokes about one another.
As Martin and Short joked around on stage, Gomez asked the audience, “You guys see what I have to deal with every day?”
Although “Only Murders in the Building” went into the award show with 21 Emmy nominations, the series was ultimately snubbed by the series “Shogun” and “The Bear.”
