It’s that time of year again when television creatives are anxiously waiting to see if their television shows will receive a nomination for a coveted Emmy Award.
On Sunday, May 17, 50 Cent, the executive producer of “Power,” announced in a now-deleted Instagram post that the Starz crime drama received an Emmy nomination.
During a panel discussion at the Television Critics Association Press Tour last year, 50 Cent revealed that he believed that the show did not receive a nomination at the 71st Emmy Awards because of race.
Courtney Kemp, the show creator, also gave her reason behind the 2019 Emmy snub, sharing that “Power” was ahead of its time.
50 Cent won an NAACP award for Outstanding Directing in a Drama Series for his work on the “Power” episode “Forgot About Dre” at the 51st NAACP awards in February.
