She's gonna have one hell of a career.

 

[Volimar]

Well deserved. Euphoria is a heavy show and she carries it.

 

[Leona Lewis]

Future EGOT winner right here.

A most deserved win.

On a more selfish note, it's criminal how many red carpet high fashion looks from her we were denied this year because of COVID.

 

[Wracu]

Now please film the next season ughhhhhhhhh

 

[Lotus]

Completely deserved, she's an amazing actress, youngest to win the award too

 

[FelipeMGM]

cool, she was incredible in it

season 2 when tho?

 

[Lifejumper]

Nice

 

[Einchy]

Well deserved, Euphoria is one of the best shows I've seen recently.

[Nightwing123]

Zendaya absolutely deserves this win she was amazing in Euphoria. She had so many stand-out scenes throughout the show.

 

[platocplx]

Queen!

 

[Heshinsi]

She's really talented. Congrats to her for the win.

 

[Perfect Chaos]

She was absolutely incredible in Euphoria, so it's entirely deserved.

 

[henhowc]

Need to watch that show next time I subscribe

 

[BobLoblaw]

:)

 

[latex]

So, so, so deserved. She is phenomenal in Euphoria. Love that the Emmys showed some spirit tonight with that exciting pick!

 

[Dany]

Wow. I dunno why I didn't watch it before. I thought it was still over substance from what I saw.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

Deserved, she was excellent in Euphoria.

Need that season 2 though.

 

[Leona Lewis]

The fact that the Skins US remake was so close to being on HBO instead of MTV still makes me depressed.

Euphoria shows us what could've been, but its writing is honestly dreadful. The show is 90% Zendaya and 10% her narration that accompanies the little vignettes that open each episode.

 

[infinitebento]

her performance in euphoria is fucking flawless

i have rewatched the entire season 4 times and her role fucks me up every single time

 

[Yourfawthaaa]

so happy for her

Euphoria was fire.

Let's be real. It's at least 15% Jacob Elordi's ass. Show some respect.

 

[Callibretto]

Sony is like "let's give her spider power and her own spin off movies" lol

 

[Slayven]

She didn't have one for Shake it Up? Wow Emmies be fucking up

They gonna let her be Mary Jane now or is it still "an unrelated character who just happens to have the initials MJ"?

I know the answer.

 

[fauxtrot]

She was amazing in Euphoria and her chemistry with the other main character (I'm blanking on her name) was something to behold. I can't wait for season 2.

I'd watch it lol

 

[Orion]

It's exactly what she deserves.

I was really impressed with her performance. Hopefully season 2 isn't too far away.

I love Zendaya. She's fantastic. I wish I could watch Euphoria, and keep trying, but I get flash backs of my childhood and my drug addicted mom.

 

[Dank Lotion]

So deserved! I remember being shocked she wasn't nominated for it last year, but it seems like I was upset for no reason since it looks like the show wasn't eligible.

If only Insecure/Issa Rae got some love too. I don't think it's won anything yet which is pretty criminal. The cinematography alone warrants some recognition.

 

[dallow_bg]

Didn't like the show but good for her.

 

[Kino]

I have no interest in watching Euphoria because high school drama bullshit drives me up the walls, but I've loved Zendaya since her Cinderella Met Ball look and am very happy her talent is getting recognition.

 

[Dank Lotion]

So cruel. 🤣

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Zendaya deserves all the awards.

 

[Emiya777]

Love Zendaya but Sam Levinson makes me want to vomit. Dude got to be a druggy for a decade then walked into the Euphoria deal because of his dad.

And yet he created a fantastic show.

What's the problem?

 

[Deleted member 13188]

Great show. Hope more people watch it.

 

[Conditional-Pancakes]

Well deserved! It was a jaw-dropping performance in an amazing show.

Hunter Schafer should have had a nomination too.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

well-earned, my sister. Zendaya can get all the fuckin awards forever. #blackexcellence😭

Euphoria was next-level shit.

So cruel. 🤣

BRUH! 😭

 

[scitek]

She didn't win one for Shake It Up?

 

[Titik]

There is still no second season ? Awe :(

It's probably gonna be even later then esp with the pandemic going on.

 

[sredgrin]

Only reason to watch the show really, it's kinda garbage without her performance.

See also Ozark and Julie Garner.

I mean she hella busy. We'll be lucky if she can spare the time. Plus that's a pretty dark place she has to go for that role, so I wouldn't be too disappointed if the ending for Season 1 is all we get. It was #chefkiss

 

[Titik]

Ah yeah. It's a heavy show. I felt like I had to take a break from tv for a couple days after binging the entire show.

Fantastic show and fantastic actress.

I think for tv contracts she'd have to work around that and not the other way around. You can't have your main character be too busy to continue the next season, you'd completely fuck over hundreds of jobs.

Season 2 was confirmed, though. So she's 100% doing that one at least.

mmm good point. I have no idea how that stuff works, so I'll defer to you.

Yeah, season 2 is 100% happening. Good HBO shows often take minimum 1.5+ years between seasons and no doubt covid has had an impact
