KINGSTON, Jamaica — Jamaican-American icon Sheryl Lee Ralph has once again captured the attention of the television academy, earning her fourth consecutive nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series at the upcoming 77th Emmy Awards.

The actress—who previously made history by winning the category in 2022—continues to draw acclaim for a role that has resonated deeply with both viewers and critics.
Joining her in this year’s nomination lineup are comedy heavyweights and rising stars alike: Hannah Einbinder (Hacks), Kathryn Hahn (The Studio), Janelle James (Abbott Elementary), Catherine O’Hara (The Studio), and Jessica Williams (Shrinking).
The 77th Emmy Awards ceremony is scheduled for September 14, where Ralph’s fans and the broader Caribbean diaspora will be watching closely, hopeful for yet another historic win.
