Three Latinos are nominated. Chilean actor Pedro Pascal is nominated for Best Male Actor in a Television Series Drama for his role as Joel in HBO’s “The Last Of Us.” Mexican American actress Selena Gomez is nominated for Best Female Actor in a Television Comedy Series for her role as Mabel Mora in Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building.” Belizean-Guatemalan American actor Colman Domingo is the third Latino nominated for Best Male Actor in a Motion Picture Drama for his role as the openly gay civil rights leader Bayard Rustin in Netflix’s “Rustin.”

The insufficient representation of Latinos in films has reignited a persistent discussion on diversity in Hollywood. As noted by the LA Times, a recent study by the Annenberg Inclusion Initiative at USC revealed that Latino representation in film has shown no improvement over the past 16 years.

Analyzing 1,600 films spanning from 2007 to 2022, the report highlighted that 4.4% of all lead and co-lead roles were by Latino actors. Within this timeframe, only eight leading roles were Afro-Latino actors.
