30 years ago, in 1986 Phylicia Rashad was nominated for an Emmy, an Emmy for “Outstanding Leading Actress in a Comedy Series”. Since then, no black woman has been nominated for the best comedy actress Emmy, until now!

Ross spoke to ABC about the situations saying:

“At this age, at this point in my career, to be a first-time nominee is extraordinary. To be nominated on behalf of a show that I am so proud of,

“This whole other layer of the historical aspect is mind-boggling to me,” Ross added. “It adds a whole other layer to this that is extraordinary and wonderful.”
