Fogelman also took to social media to state his thoughts, writing, ‘The Emmy noms didn’t break for #ThisIsUs today – if you’re happy when they go your way, you’ve got to take it on the chin when they don’t.’
‘That entire group wins a “Danny” in my book. And so proud that my college roomie @SiddKhoslaMusic will be repping us with Taylor!’

She was also nominated for a Golden Globe for best supporting actress, and won two Screen Actors Guild Awards for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a drama series.
The hit NBC drama aired its series finale in May, and over the span of its six seasons, the show has received more than 35 nominations and four wins, including Sterling K. Brown’s 2017 win for Best Actor in a Drama Series.
The Black Panther star, 46, has previously campaigned for his onscreen mother to receive an Emmy for her emotional performance of a woman struggling with Alzheimer’s disease.

‘Mandy Moore is killing the game, son. She is killing the game and she deserves to be recognized,’ the Golden Globe winner said in an Instagram video in April.
‘Man, that woman. Y’all know Mandy Moore is eight years younger than me and she plays my mama. There’s never a moment on set where I’m like, “Mandy Moore’s too young to play my mama.” No, she is my mama. And the beautifully subtle nuanced work and the portrayal of someone going through what her character’s going through, it’s just exquisite, man,’ he stated.
The actor said at the time he wants ‘anybody who votes’ within the Television Academy to ensure Moore won at the 2022 Emmy Awards.
