American actor Anna Camp isn't hiding her feelings after her name was left off the list of 2025 Emmy nominees. The 42-year-old took on dual roles as Raegan and Maddie Lockwood in the final season of You, performances she believes rank among her finest. Anna Camp played Raegan and Maddie Lockwood in YOU
Following the nomination announcement on Tuesday, Anna voiced her disappointment on Instagram. She posted a still from You that shows her character staring at a phone with a puzzled look. 'Me reading about the nominations this morning knowing I gave one of the best performances of my life while also trying to be happy for everyone and while also remembering I vowed to stop drinking during the week,' she wrote alongside the image.
Though visibly frustrated, Anna also received an outpouring of support. Among those cheering her on was her girlfriend, Jade Whipkey, who commented, 'BLOWN AWAY. not many people ever get the chance to play twins and NO ONE has ever done it like you did. Take notes Hollywood!!!' Anna also shared supportive fan reactions on her Instagram Story. She responded to the messages with a heartfelt, 'I love my followers.'
Despite the acclaim from fans and loved ones, Anna was notably absent from the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama category. Nominees this year included Julianne Nicholson (Paradise), Katherine LaNasa (The Pitt), Patricia Arquette (Severance), and The White Lotus stars Aimee Lou Wood, Carrie Coon, Natasha Rothwell, and Parker Posey.
Anna's role on You was recurring in its final season, making her eligible for a nomination. The series itself, however, has never received any Emmy nods across its five-season run.
The nominations for the 2025 Primetime Emmy Awards were unveiled on Tuesday, with actors Harvey Guillén and Brenda Song hosting the announcement. Among the top contenders this year are The Pitt, Adolescence, Severance, The Bear, and Hacks—all receiving multiple nods across key categories.

Upcoming OTT releases in US: Happy Gilmore 2, The Nice Guy, and much more - Movies, web series to watch

The coming week of July 2025 brings a rich mix of sequels, hard-hitting documentaries, fantasy epics, and international dramas. Whether you're a fan of nostalgia, thrillers, or meaningful storytelling, this month's OTT lineup offers plenty to look forward to. Nearly three decades after his first Tour Championship victory, retired golfer Happy Gilmore returns to the sport to fund his daughter Vienna's ballet education. Directed by Kyle Newacheck and written by Tim Herlihy and Adam Sandler, this sequel to the 1996 comedy sees Sandler, Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald, Ben Stiller, and Dennis Dugan reprising their roles. Benny Safdie and Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio join the cast as new characters. In the second volume of the fantasy epic's second season, Dream—the cosmic entity who governs all dreams—must travel across realms and timelines to repair the havoc wrought by his century-long imprisonment. Set against the backdrop of Kashmir, this intense political and military thriller dives into the emotional and psychological costs of conflict. Sarzameen explores themes of patriotism, sacrifice, and identity, making it a powerful addition to this month's streaming line-up. Directed by Kayoze Irani, the film will feature a star studded cast including Prithviraj Sukumaran, Kajol, and Ibrahim Ali Khan. Premiering on JTBC and available on Disney+ in select regions, this South Korean series stars Lee Dong-wook, Lee Sung-kyung, and Park Hoon. The drama follows Seok-cheol, the eldest grandson in a three-generation gangster family, as he struggles to balance protecting his loved ones with preserving his livelihood and romantic relationships. This docudrama explores the inner workings of the American criminal justice system through compelling re-enactments drawn from real courtroom transcripts, delving into some of the country's most notable cases. The second season of the provocative docuseries delves into the darker aspects of evangelical youth culture in the United States. Titled A Teenage Holy War, this instalment investigates how religious groups have used music, celebrity culture, and teen-targeted evangelism to draw adolescents into rigid belief systems.

The anti-woke can be as woke as the woke

NOT YOUR IDEA OF DAVID COPPERFIELD, EH? I consider myself to be slept, not woke. Each time I learn about some school in Britain pulling some book out of their library on account of it being 'regressive' - or, not 'progressive enough' - I chuckle and eyeroll at the same time like a gay John Wayne, thinking of the books they pull out of American school libraries for being 'progressive' - or, 'too progressive,' as my grandma would like to call people who 'live in sin' (unmarried cohabiting couples). But let's just say there are sins far graver than excessive or performative activism - that is, being woke. Sure, finding 'narcissistic behaviour' or 'cultural appropriation' lurking under every lamp post can make a chic virtue out of virtue-signalling. But what was considered woke yesterday (without the word being invented then) - whether it be demanding a 'benign' colonial power to bugger off, or being against 'disciplinary' corporal punishment, or finding 'tough love' domestic violence to be abhorrent - can become SOP good sense today. But being anti-woke has also emerged as a new form of intelligence-signalling. There are people who can now make a living (read: dinner party conversations and columns) by woke-hunting. This is especially evident whenever traditional depictions in pop culture are stitched to PC culture. Like, say, Disney's depiction of a Black actress as The Little Mermaid in the eponymous 2023 film. 'This is the limit!' scream the anti-wokemeisters. I recently watched Armando Iannucci's The Personal History of David Copperfield, a cinematic adaptation of Charles Dickens' 1850 novel. True, meeting the Victorian hero-narrator and finding him being played by Dev Patel was unexpected, especially for us honed on our Occidentalism via Dickens, Enid Blyton, James Bond, Jeeves, and Britannia biscuit diet. But after the initial 'What the Dickens!' surprise of a Brown Copperfield - and other non-White-as-the-cliffs-of-Dover actors - the film proceeds wonderfully with its modernist wit, charm, and freshness. No shred of DEI-ness creeps in to provide any diversity message on the sly beyond the obviously visual. In fact, very subtly, it brings a new layer of depicting how universal Dickens' Victorian characters are to this day, in any society. When I saw Peter Brook's cinematic version of his and Jean-Claude Carriere's 1985 stage play, Mahabharata, in Kolkata in 1989, the terms 'DEI' and 'woke' would have sounded Jesuit Latin and wrong English, respectively. Almost all the characters were played by (non-Hindu) non-Indians, with only Malika Sarabhai as Draupadi. Senegalese-French actor Mamadou Dioume's performance as Bhima left me with goosebumps all over my nominally Hindu, Bengali brown skin. Brook's superb treatment, part-Shakespeare, part-Kurosawa, was far-removed from the opulent kitschof BR Chopra's immensely more popular 1988-1990 TV series on Doordarshan. It gave out no smoke of woke. Instead, it was 'just' a powerful reinterpretation, the 'visual' deviation from standard ethnic depiction adding to its universal power. A new stage production of Ramayana has been making waves in Karachi this month. Directed by Yogeshwar Karera and produced by Rana Kazmi of Mauj Theatre Group, it's incidental that barring the director and two actors who are (Pakistani) Hindu, all other members of the production team are (Pakistani) Muslim. What holds the Karachi Ramayana's appeal is its interpretation not of a religious epic done with a secular mission, but of a human classic staged for thoughtful entertainment. A particular kind of anti-woke brigade rails out against any form of deviation from the original 'purity' of Western-White-gendered tropes - 'Black James Bond!' 'Woman Hamlet!' 'Chinese woman Dr Watson!' Which is as dogmatic as shouting one's head off about Alauddin Khilji being depicted as a 'depraved Muslim' in a Bollywood movie. And as silly as removing golliwogs from Enid Blyton's Noddy books, or changing language deemed offensive from Roald Dahl's children's books. While the public may never take to a Chinese Superman - after all, immigrants from Planet Krypton have to be White as created by Jerry Siegel (Praise Be Upon Him) - a wok Clark Kent needn't be woke. In the head of a clever writer-director, it could be what Shakespeare in his play, Vishal Bhardwaj in Maqbool, and, more recently, Anirban Bhattacharya in Mandaar, superbly did to Holinshed's Macbeth.
