Sofia Vergara Receives Historic Emmy Nomination for “Griselda” Performance.

Sofia Vergara has earned a landmark nomination at the 2024 Primetime Emmy Awards, receiving recognition for her portrayal of Griselda Blanco in the Netflix miniseries Griselda. The actress, best known for her role as Gloria Delgado-Pritchett on Modern Family, has made history as the first Latina born in Latin America to be nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series.
Her performance as the notorious Colombian drug lord Griselda Blanco has garnered widespread praise, marking a dramatic shift from her usual comedic roles. Despite previous Emmy nods for Modern Family, Vergara humorously reflected on the new milestone, joking that she may finally have a shot at winning an award after several near-misses.
In addition to her acting achievements, Vergara continues to captivate audiences as a judge on America’s Got Talent, a role she has held since 2020. Her recent Emmy recognition serves as a testament to her versatility and enduring influence in the entertainment industry.
