The actress, who previously won the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her performance as Rue, was nominated for the award again, making her the youngest two-time nominee in the category.
She was also nominated twice for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics. One is for “Elliot’s Song,” co-written by Labrinth and songwriter Muzhda Zemar-McKenzie, and the other is for “I’m Tired,” co-written by Labrinth and creator Sam Levinson. Zendaya celebrated the nominations on Instagram, saying, “Making this show with this cast and crew of the most incredibly talented people that I get the privilege of learning from every day has been a highlight of my life.”
