We have a long way to go, but this could be a sign of progress: The 2016 Primetime Emmy nominations were announced today, and 21 nominated actors are people of color. That's two more than in 2015 and, well, 21 more than received Oscar nods over the past two years. Is this a sign that TV is at least a little closer to reflecting the real-life diversity of our population?The nominees include Taraji P. Henson (Empire) and Viola Davis (last year's winner, for How to Get Away With Murder) for Best Actress in a Drama, and Rami Malek (Mr. Robot) for Best Actor in a Drama.Anthony Anderson (black-ish) and Aziz Ansari (Master of None) for Best Actor in a Comedy, and black-ish's Tracee Ellis Ross for Best Actress in a Comedy. Supporting Comedy Actor and Actress nods went to Andre Braugher (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), Tituss Burgess (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), Keegan-Michael Key (Key and Peele), and Niecy Nash (Getting On). In the TV Movie and Limited Series categories, Kerry Washington, Audra McDonald, Idris Elba, Courtney B. Vance, Cuba Gooding Jr., Sterling K. Brown, Bokeem Woodbine, and Regina King are all nominees.
