In this year's version of the Emmys, Selena Gomez was nominated not as an actress, but as executive producer of her series Only Murders in the Building, which airs on Hulu and Star+.

Gomez, who is one of the show's leads, is also part of the executive production alongside Steve Martin, John Hoffman, Martin Short, Jamie Babbit, Dan Fogelman and Jess Rosenthal.

Gomez, of Mexican descent, is not be the first Latina to be nominated in the Best Producer category. The merit also went to Salma Hayek for Fox's Ugly Betty in 2007. However, during all the previous versions of the Emmys, only one Latina woman has won as a producer in any of the series categories. That was Celia D. Costas, who won for her work on Angels in America in 2004, as reported by Variety magazine.

The 2022 Emmy Awards will be held on Monday, Sept. 12, at the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles.
