The awards shows have given her an equally mixed response with the Golden Globes giving her a gong and this year’s Emmys ignoring her altogether.

In April 1949, among the Peabodys presented were its first two for television, to the NBC kids’ show “Howdy Doody” and to ABC’s dramatic anthology “Actors Studio”.

Elba, who is now starring in the Hollywood blockbuster Star Trek Beyond, said he planned to celebrate his Emmy nomination with a trip to the pub. Thrilled for the show receiving so many nominations.
