Niecy Nash-Betts has earned rave reviews for her performance in “Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” Netflix’s hit series from Ryan Murphy. In a now Emmy-nominated performance, Nash-Betts plays Glenda Cleveland, the titular killer’s next-door neighbor.
“It’s a phenomenon I didn’t see coming,” the actress told Variety last year when reflecting on the show’s success. “This story is timeless. We are going backwards in our laws right now. Today, there are people, based on just how they look, who are not believed and are abused, misused, taken advantage of and murdered, even by police … a lot of the themes of the series, you can go outside and find them right outside the front door.”
“Swarm” fans, rejoice! Dominique Fishback, who thrilled audiences in her lead role in the popular streaming series, earned an Emmy nomination for her performance. The Prime Video series, which follows Dre (Fishback), a superfan of world pop star Ni’Jah, had the internet buzzing.
Fishback earned glowing reviews for her performance in the dark, twisted and hilarious series. With performances in “Judas and the Black Messiah,” “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts” and more, Fishback has become one of the most exciting names in young Hollywood.
The Emmys will air on Monday, Jan. 15, at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT, on Fox.
