Pedro Pascal
He might be Hollywood's golden boy at the moment, but Pedro Pascal's Emmy nomination is quite controversial.
**Spoilers for The Last of Us Season 2 below**
The Last of Us star is up for Best Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his role as Joel Miller in Season 2, despite dying in the first episode.
Many thought he wouldn't even make the cut for the supporting actor category, but apparently the Television Academy though differently.
Bella Ramsay
Bella Ramsey is up for Best Lead Actress in a Drama Series for their role as Ellie in the hit show – which is also up for Best Drama Series.
Despite being non-binary, Ramsay has been placed in the Best Actress category, which they have previously said they're not offended by saying that the gendered categories are important because, "it's so important... that the recognition for women in this industry is preserved."
"I think the gendered categories conversation's a really interesting one and I don't have the answer. I wish that there was something that was an easy way around it," they said during an appearance on Louis Theroux's podcast.
"I think that it is really important that we have a female category and a male category - but then, where do non-binary and gender con-conforming people fit into that? I don't know.
"I've literally sat and tried to think my way to the answer, and haven't got there."
