The Emmy Nominations: Actresses of a Certain Age Rule

We're thrilled to see women over 45 getting the love they deserve. This year, older actresses account for 53 percent of all female acting nominees. Bravo!

When the nominations for the 2020 Emmys were announced this morning, we were happy to see so many names of dynamic women our own age. It's supposedly the New Golden Age of Television, but it's also the Golden Age of Actresses of a Certain Age. Women over 45 made up 53 percent of all actress nominations.

Some of the nominees are usual suspects. Dame Meryl's role as a creepily controlling mother-in-law in the second season of Big Little Lies almost guaranteed that she would extend her Oscar dominance into the smaller-screen acting awards. In fact, many Academy Award winners are on this year's 2020 Emmy nomination list: Regina King for Watchmen; Olivia Coleman strutting her royal stuff once again, this time as Queen Elizabeth II in The Crown rather than her Oscar-winning role as Queen Anne in The Favourite; Cate Blanchette, nominated for playing against type as Phyllis Schlafly in Mrs. America; Octavia Spencer for Self Made, and Laura Dern for Big Little Lies.

NextTribe is a travel and events company for women 45+. We believe that now—at midlife—is our shaken-Etch-A-Sketch moment, when the slate is once again blank. Today, our conversations question which direction we are headed in and how to get there. How to drink it all in and how to give back. We’d like your voices and humor to be heard, your ideas to be shared, and for you to hear ours. This tribe is one of contemplation, inspiration, wit, and action. Though we may have men in our lives, we believe it’s invigorating to touch base at a time like this with people who have the same sagging parts and swinging moods. Now that we have more time for adventure, more experience for new life paths, more wisdom to connect the dots in our histories, and less care about what people think, we’re sure these coming years can be a glorious stretch. Spiritual and irreverent, creative and courageous, this site, these postings, will serve as our cave drawings and warrior paint. Please join us on our walkabout.
