The 2024 Emmy nominations have officially been announced, and while many fans are celebrating their favorite shows and actors being recognized, there are some surprising stars who have yet to take home an Emmy. Here’s a look at some of Hollywood’s biggest names who have never won an Emmy and their chances in 2024.
1. Ryan Gosling
Ryan Gosling, widely adored for his roles in “The Notebook” and “Barbie,” has surprisingly never won an Emmy. However, this year marks his first-ever Emmy nomination. Gosling is nominated for Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his work as a host on “Saturday Night Live.” This nod could potentially earn him his first golden winged woman.
2. Kristen Wiig
Despite her numerous nominations and her iconic performances on “Saturday Night Live” and in movies like “Bridesmaids,” Kristen Wiig has yet to secure an Emmy win. This year, Wiig has two chances to break her losing streak. She is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in “Palm Royale” and for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for her appearance on “SNL.”
3. Paul Rudd
Paul Rudd, the eternally youthful star known for his roles in “Clueless,” “Friends,” and “Ant-Man,” has finally earned his first Emmy nomination. Rudd is competing in the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series category for his role in “Only Murders in the Building.” He faces tough competition, but his charming performance might just earn him his first Emmy.
4. Dakota Fanning
Dakota Fanning, who has been in the industry for years, has surprisingly never been nominated for an Emmy until now. On July 17th, it was announced that Fanning would be receiving her first Emmy nomination for her role in “Ripley.” She is nominated in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie category.
5. Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez has grown up in front of our eyes, from her early days on Disney Channel’s “Wizards of Waverly Place” to her more mature roles like in the critically acclaimed Spanish-language musical drama “Amelia Perez.” This year, Gomez has finally received her first Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in “Only Murders in the Building.”
