Chadwick Boseman, the late and great actor, and former President Barack Obama are now considered first-time Emmy nominees.
According to CNN, Boseman was posthumously nominated for his performance as T’Challa in the animated Disney+ series What If?, while Obama was nominated for Outstanding Narrator for the Netflix documentary series Our Great National Parks.
Stand-up comic Jerrod Carmichael made this year’s roster, too, nominated for his Saturday Night Live hosting gig and his confessional special, Rothaniel.
