My friend Anna posted an article (from the blog Racialicious) about the racial breakdown of the 2011 Emmy nominees and winners. I thought it was appropriate given the nature of our class and the topics we discuss.
Check it out the stats complied by blog contributor, Arturo R. Garcia:
Number of Awards Handed Out Sunday Night: 25
Number of POC Winners: 0
Number of Individual Acting Nominees: 81
Number of POC Nominees: 6*
* Idris Elba (Luther, The Big C) scored two nominations
Number of Writing Nominees Outside Best Variety, Music or Comedy Series Category: 30
Number of POC Nominees: 1
Number Of Individual Writers in Best Variety, Music or Comedy Series Writing Category Nominees: 97
Number of Individual POC Writers In That Category: 6
Do we know what the count is for Latinos etc.??
ReplyDeleteNo. POC=Person of Color which is pretty vague. I'm not sure what the break down is by specific race/ethnicity.
