Bella Ramsey Becomes First Non-Binary Person to Earn Two Emmy Nominations
Bella Ramsey is making history for the non-binary community. On Tuesday, the non-binary actor earned a nomination in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for their role in The Last of Us Season 2 — and with the nod, they become the first non-binary person to earn more than one Emmy nomination. Ramsey was first nominated in this category in 2023 for their role as Ellie in the show's first season. More from Rolling Stone The 2025 Emmy Nominations Are Here Lady Gaga Nears EGOT Status After Sports Emmy Win Nate Bargatze to Host 2025 Emmy Awards Ramsey has been very clear that gendered awards are 'very important' despite their non-binary identity. In an interview with Louis Theroux in May, the actor expressed how they wish there was 'an easy way around' honoring people who don't conform to the gender binary, 'but I think that it is really important that we have a female category and a male category.' 'I think it's so important that that's preserved, as well,' they said about ensuring women get nominated for awards. 'The recognition for women in the industry is preserved.' While Ramsey said they are OK with being included in an Actress category, the actor explained that they 'have a guttural, 'That's not quite right,' instinct [to it],' Ramsey said. 'But I just don't take it too seriously… it doesn't feel like an attack on my identity.' Also nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress In A Drama Series are Kathy Bates for Matlock, Angela Bassett for 9-1-1, Britt Lower for Severance, Emma D'Arcy for House of the Dragon, and Keri Russell for The Diplomat. Last year, Anna Sawai took home the award for her role in Shōgun. The Last of Us earned 16 nominations this year, bringing their total to 40 nods across the two seasons.

Former NFL CB compares Steelers Jalen Ramsey to HOF corner
When the Pittsburgh Steelers traded for cornerback Jalen Ramsey, they knew they were getting a former All-Pro and a defender with plenty of game left at just 30 years old. We already talked about where we think Ramsey will and should play in the Steelers' secondary this season, but more and more pundits and former players tend to see Ramsey as a safety at this point in his career. But maybe that's not such a bad thing, if your career trajectory is being compared to a similar player who made the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In a recent interview, former NFL cornerback Antrel Rolle talked about Ramsey's situation with the Steelers and compared him to former NFL defensive back Charles Woodson. Woodson had an elite career and successfully went from cornerback to safety and excelled at both. Rolle also made a very successful transition from corner to safety and understands what it takes. Here are some excerpts from the interview: Rolle comparing Ramsey to Woodson 'Jalen is a unique talent. I've always felt like he could be your Swiss army knife type of guy. You can play him in the slot, you can play him at corner, play him at safety, in dime. And he's aggressive enough that he can get all those jobs done extremely well. He reminds me of Charles Woodson, with the body stature, the coverage ability, and they're not afraid to go in there and get their hands dirty. Most importantly, he has that competitive dog in him. Corner is a different type of dog, safety is a different type of dog. 'To be a hybrid player, it takes a different mental capacity, as far as understanding the playbook, understanding what the front is doing, what the linebackers are doing, et cetera. That's the part people don't understand – when you move from that island to the box, or back at safety, you have to be aware of what everyone on that defense is doing.' Rolle on his advice to Ramsey 'The first piece of advice is to always work the craft that you had before. Still work on that corner craft, because it's going to make you that much better as a player, that much more versatile. When I made the transition to safety, yeah, I grew a different mentality, but in my heart I stayed a corner. If I stayed a corner, when I was lined up on the Wes Welkers, the Calvin Johnsons, my mentality never switched. I was just a more physical corner now.' Rolle on Ramsey being more involved defensively at safety 'Now you have to know, if that three-technique is stunting to the 'B' or the 'A' gap, this hole may open up. If they pull, you've got to cancel out a gap. That's a totally different vocabulary than what we learned out there on the island. It's very basic. There's not too much you need to know out there on an island. But once you come into that core, you have to know what you're doing.'

Tottenham handed Morgan Gibbs-White lifeline as Nottingham Forest make transfer plan
Tottenham are hoping to sign Nottingham Forest star Morgan Gibbs-White and have been handed a boost, with Nuno Espirito Santo eyeing a potential replacement for the England international Nottingham Forest are reportedly interested in Aston Villa star Jacob Ramsey in a deal that could pave the way for Morgan Gibbs-White to join Tottenham. Forest enjoyed an excellent campaign last season, finishing seventh in the Premier League. They will also play in the Europa League next season after FA Cup winners Crystal Palace were demoted to the Europa Conference League after they were found to have breached UEFA's multi-club ownership rules. Forest have made just two senior signings so far this summer, bringing in striker Igor Jesus and defender Jair Cunha from Botafogo, and a new report from the Telegraph states that Ramsey has now emerged as their top target. Ramsey was ever-present for Villa last season, making 46 appearances across all competitions, and has been identified by Forest as someone who can play anywhere across their frontline. And Ramsey is on the radar of England boss Thomas Tuchel, who name checked him when he unveiled his first Three Lions squad. "There are some tough ones, with the likes of James Maddison, Gibbs-White and also Jacob Ramsey," he said at the time. "I am sure that I miss out now only players who were also close. Very close calls. They were all disappointed, but it was important to bring the message in person." It is claimed that Forest's interest is 'long-standing' and Villa could be tempted to sell as any fee would count as pure profit on their accounts as Ramsey is an academy graduate. The 24-year-old largely played on the left for Villa, but has also featured more centrally and on the right. As a result, Ramsey could end up replacing either Gibbs-White or Anthony Elanga, who has been sold to Newcastle in a £55million deal. Spurs are hoping to sign Gibbs-White this summer, but Forest have accused them of making an "illegal approach". Tottenham triggered Gibbs-White's £60m release clause, but Forest halted the deal after accusing them of effectively tapping up the player. Spurs, though, are said to still remain confident that the deal will be done. Gibbs-White was a key player for Forest last season, producing 17 goal contributions in 34 league games, and was linked with a move to Manchester City before they signed Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki.
