The beloved sitcom’s stellar performances and writing should’ve gotten all the nods.
TheEmmy nominationsfor the 2018-2019 season was a mixed bag fordiversity.
Machado, in particular, gave a captivating performance in a season 3 episode about her characters anxiety.

And as for Moreno well, theres a reason shes a living legend.
And I would argue that Moreno deserves an Emmy just for her dramatic entrances.
Above all,ODAATis a pitch-perfect family sitcom with heart and soul.

Although Netflix is cagey about releasing numbers, the passion fromODAATfans (includingLin-Manuel Miranda!)
tells us there are many, many people who care about the show.
So 2019 was a somewhat disappointing year for recognition of diverse talent.
Lets hope 2020 will seeODAATget its dues (especially now that it will be coming to Pop TV).
