Reese Witherspoon, Indya Moore, and Harry Styles were all snubbed at the 2020 Emmys.Hulu/Fx/NBCUniversal
The nominees for the 2020 Emmy Awards were announced on Tuesday.
And while some excellent shows like "Killing Eve," "Watchmen," and "Insecure" were nominated, plenty of others were overlooked in key categories.
Indya Moore and MJ Rodriguez of "Pose" were each snubbed for outstanding lead actress in a drama, even though their costar Billy Porter was nominated in the corresponding male category.
Other snubs included Maitreyi Ramakrishnan of "Never Have I Ever," Hunter Schaefer from "Euphoria," and Reese Witherspoon for "Little Fires Everywhere."
And while there were a few pleasant surprises (the 26 nominations scored by "Watchmen" and Zendaya's nod for her role on "Euphoria," to name a few), familiar Emmy favorites still dominated, leading to plenty of snubs for trans actresses and actresses of color, as well as higher-profile stars like Harry Styles and Reese Witherspoon.
Here are 13 stars who snubbed at this year's 2020 Emmy nominations.
