Darren Criss, last seen in ''Hedwig'' on Broadway, is the rare Asian-American nominated for Lead Actor of a Limited Series or Movie.
(Last year, Riz Ahmed won in this category for 'The Night Of,'' becoming only the first Asian man to win an Emmy for acting.)
And Sandra Oh, who got a Theatre World Award for ''Stop Kiss,'' is the first Asian woman nominated for Best Actress in a Drama.
If Oh wins, she'll become only the third actor of Asian descent to receive an Emmy. (Archie Punjabi, from ''The Good Wife,'' won in 2010.) |
