“Superstore” consistently impresses me as one of the most well-crafted workplace comedies, perhaps ever. According to Imagen, this year’s awards submissions increased by 55% from 2019.Īnd although it wasn’t nominated this year at Imagen (as it has in the past), among the comedies I would add to that list is the always funny “ Superstore,” starring America Ferrara, who is also a co-executive producer. In comedy, this year that included “One Day at a Time,” “Vida,” “Gentefied” and “Little America,” and stars such as Justina Machado (“One Day”), Mishel Prada (“Vida”) and, yes, Moreno. Such an omission is a bit mystifying, particularly as the Imagen Awards - which also just announced their nominations - demonstrated there’s no shortage of Latinx contenders. In a year where African American performers and shows with Black leads saw a boost in representation at the Emmy nominations, there wasn’t room for similar strides among Latinx, Asian American and other groups. “One Day at a Time” boasts a predominantly Latinx cast, and sadly such shows still aren’t getting their due at the Emmys. Critics have bestowed much love on the series, and fan support kept the show alive when Netflix canceled it, spurring a move to Pop TV. The Television Academy Honors at least smartly recognized the show in 2018 with its “television with a conscience” award.
RITA MORENO ONE DAY AT A TIME SERIES
The new “One Day at a Time” has been virtually ignored by Emmy voters, save an annual nomination in the multi-camera picture editing for a comedy series category (where the competition is limited anyway, since there aren’t many multi-cam shows out there).
RITA MORENO ONE DAY AT A TIME TV
Moreno hasn’t been nominated for a Primetime Emmy since 1983, when she was in the comedy lead actress race for the brief TV adaptation of “9 to 5” - and that’s a shame.īut it goes beyond that. Moreno has two Emmys - one for individual performance in a variety or music program for “The Muppet Show” in 1977 and for drama guest actress on “The Rockford Files” in 1978. But here’s the rub: Moreno should be cracking open one of those beers right now to celebrate an Emmy nod for “One Day at a Time,” which sadly didn’t come.
Seriously, live your quarantine like EGOT winner Rita Moreno. “I don’t drink the hard stuff but now and then an icy cold beer, you just can’t replace anything like that.” “I just finished scrubbing some bottles of beer,” she told me. So I’m in the f-ing kitchen constantly!”Ī careful Moreno has also been washing everything. And I’m one of those people who loves a beautiful, bright, clean kitchen.
I always leave a trail of spots and stains. “I have to eat, right? I’m not a neat cooker. How was she faring in the pandemic? “I can’t get out of the f-ing kitchen,” she proclaimed.
