Blackness isn't a trend or a wave to ride until the mainstream gets bored with melanin, and the proof is in the trophies. For the past few years, Black film and television have been dominating the award shows, proving that all of the Hollywood critics who said people of color are not marketable were dead ass wrong.

Recently, the full list of this year's Emmy's nominations was announced, and just know that over here, we're rooting for everybody black. While Game of Thrones made history with a recording breaking 32 nominations, Queen Bey stole the show in the way that true Black girl royalty always does. The nomination announcement revealed that the behind-the-scenes documentary of her wildly popular Coachella performance, Homecoming, racked up a total of six awards.

Bey has been nominated for four Emmys before, and although she's never taken home a trophy, it's looking like this may just be her year. The announcement comes just on the heels of the live-action Lion King release, where she stars as Nala, and her soundtrack single "Spirit". Thanks to her multi-million dollar collaboration projects with Netflix and Disney, Beyoncé might just win an Emmy, Oscar, and Grammy in the same damn year.

Along with Beyonce, there were a few other stars that dominated this year's Emmy nominations, including but not limited to Viola Davis, Sterling K. Brown, and the cast of When They See Us, who racked up a total of 16 awards. Here's our black AF list of all of the Emmy nominations that were announced today:

Simone Biles Gets Emotional About The State Of Her Mental Health

Simone Biles is a decorated U.S. gymnast who captured the hearts of many with her ambitious, yet graceful moves. However, over the past year, fans got to witness another side of Simone after the gymnast began expressing the issues she's faced regarding her mental health. The Olympic gold medalist shocked everyone when she pulled out of some of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic games, citing "twisties" as the reason. The twisties is a gymnastics term that is described as losing control of your body while spinning in the air.

Sex

Wanna Climax More? KISS MORE.

Kissing is such a fascinating thing — to me. The reason why I say that is because, if the person you are exchanging a kiss with is someone who is good at it, it can be the sexiest, most special and most exhilarating thing ever. On the other hand, if they aren't so good — it's just gross. I don't know about y'all, but kissing is such a big deal in my world that I once broke up with someone, in part, because they totally sucked at doing it. It was like, no matter how hard I tried to explain to them what I needed in order to feel like we were in "kissing sync", they would continue to go off and do their own thing. All over my face (yuck).

"To do something that I've done forever and just not be able to do it because of everything I've gone through is really crazy because I love this sport so much."

"I don't think people understand the magnitude of what I go through, but for so many years to go through everything that I've gone through — put on a front — I'm proud of myself and I'm happy that I can be a leader for the survivors and bring courage to everybody speaking up."

A Journey Into Self-Love & Self-Healing

"I was always surrounded by people, but I was always alone in my mind. My self-esteem was so low and I started to attract people that reflected that. I attracted men that were treating me in an unhealthy way. One relationship got extremely abusive."

"Whatever pain and hurt that is within me that feels the need to manifest this man to reflect my beliefs at me this strongly...this will never happen again. I will never be at this place again. Whatever I have to do to heal it, I will do."

How Meditation & Self-Healing Led Her To True Love

"I struggled for a while trying to fit a circle in a square peg and tried to make myself into what I thought a rapper's girlfriend should be. That didn't last long. [I had to understand that] this is who I am. I'm Shelah. This is me."

"I had to be proactive about the feelings I wanted [and] I'd fuse that into my meditations. Do not leave it in the hands of someone else to provide you what you need."
