Pedro Pascal and Jenna Ortega have made history today, as their main acting category nominations for this year's Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony place them in a very select group of Latino actors who have received such an honor. Pascal is the first Latino to be nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series since Jimmy Smits received a nomination back in 1999 for his role on NYPD Blue. On the other hand, Ortega's mention within the list of Outstanding Lead Actresses in a Comedy Series nominees list makes her the first Latina actress to be included in the group since America Ferrera in 2007, and only the third to be nominated in any lead actress category following Ferrera and Rita Moreno for 9 to 5 in 1983.
