channelling of the iceberg that sunk the Titanic were basically the two best moments of the season, and he seems poised to become only the third male cast member (after Bill Hader and Kenan Thompson) to get an Emmy nomination come next month. Alex Newell Someone who will likely be joining Yang among this year's Emmy nominees is Alex Newell for their showstopping work on the wonderful musical comedy series Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist. On the series, Newell plays Mo, the titular Zoey's genderfluid neighbour. Like Mo, Newell — who initially broke out from their work on Glee — goes by they/them pronouns, defining themselves as gender noncomforming. Newell joins a cohort of young performers who are producing brilliant work that breaks free from the gender binary expectations of the entertainment industry. An Emmy nomination for Newell would not only be well deserved but could go a long way toward making awards shows reconsider the increasingly problematic divide between "actresses" and "actors."
