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.

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.

Cal Raleigh's 'Big Dumper' gets a cheeky closeup in Yankees broadcast
Cal Raleigh's nickname means exactly what you think it means, as you may know. The Seattle Mariners catcher is known as "Big Dumper," because ... well, it's about his butt. I know, kind of awkward, but it's really the reason behind that nickname. His former teammate Jarred Kelenic revealed the nickname when Raleigh was called up in 2021, and it was the outfielder who gave him that moniker in 2020. Raleigh initially disliked it, apparently, which I'd understand! I don't want people staring at my backside when they learn why I'm called "Big Dumper!" Per The Athletic in 2023: 'So if we go back to the very beginning, everyone has always joked around that I have a big butt,' Raleigh said. 'It's not anything that I thought about. And then they said the same thing in college and in the minors.' ... 'I love it. I think it's great,' Raleigh said. 'My mom had other opinions about it. But it's good. It gets the fans involved and they have fun with it. And that is what it's all about. It's a good time. 'You got to own it, embrace it. As long as you're having fun with it, that's what baseball is all about. As long as it brings good energy and vibes it's all good.' So let's fast-forward to Tuesday night. On the New York Yankees' YES broadcast, Michael Kay and crew told the tale of "Big Dumper," and to illustrated the point about Raleigh's "posterior," cameras focused on the, uh, big dumper in question: Well handled by the booth, and I guess ... give that director a Sports Emmy for his coverage?

Trea Turner's career gets even more decorated with surprising Emmy win for MLB documentary role
Trea Turner stuns fans by earning an Emmy for documentary work (AP Photos) Trea Turner has already checked off some of baseball's biggest accomplishments in his 11-year career—an NL batting title and a World Series championship among them. But now, the Philadelphia Phillies' shortstop finds himself associated with an entirely different kind of accolade—an Emmy Award . Trea Turner isn't just a baseball champ—now he's an Emmy winner too While Turner doesn't personally own the Emmy, he proudly hoisted it ahead of the Phillies' game against the Toronto Blue Jays in celebration of The Turnaround, a short sports documentary that captured his dramatic 2023 mid-season revival. The film, which documented how Philadelphia fans rallied around the struggling star, took home the Sports Emmy for Best Short Documentary in May. 'Trea Turner's an Emmy winner, absolutely,' said Kyle Thrash, the film's director. 'He definitely held it up like he owned it.' — AntSanPhilly (@AntSanPhilly) At the core of the documentary is Jon McCann—known by fans as "The Philly Captain"—whose mental health journey and emotional connection with Turner served as a powerful narrative thread. After batting practice, McCann shook Turner's hand and beamed, 'Cuz, we did it, huh?! Trea Turner, we share an Emmy together.' In August 2023, Turner's first season under an 11-year, $300 million contract had hit a rough patch. He was batting just .238, had only 11 home runs, and had been demoted to eighth in the lineup. The Phillies fan base, notorious for its tough love, decided to rally behind him instead. During a home series against the Kansas City Royals, they gave Turner repeated standing ovations—something rarely seen in Philly for underperforming stars. The support sparked something remarkable. Over that weekend series, Turner responded with a 4-for-12 performance that included two doubles, a home run, and five RBIs. His momentum carried through the rest of the season, helping lead the Phillies into the playoffs. To return the love, Turner later funded digital billboards across Philadelphia that simply read 'Thank You, Philly.' 'It's pretty incredible,' Thrash said. 'We get to bring a trophy back to the ballpark tonight and share it with so many people that were involved in the standing ovation.' The documentary was produced by Higher Ground, the media company founded by Barack and Michelle Obama, adding another layer of prestige to the project. During the Emmy ceremony, McCann recalled bracing for disappointment. 'During the ceremony, one of the award presenters said, 'When you go up against the Olympics, you lose.' So I kind of thought we already lost,' he said. 'We didn't. It was a great, great shock.' In a season filled with drama, resilience, and connection, Turner's story was no longer just about baseball. Thanks to the city that believed in him and a documentary that captured it all, his comeback earned more than redemption—it earned an Emmy.

ESPN's College GameDay announces Week 1 location: Where Nick Saban, Lee Corso will be
ESPN's College GameDay announces Week 1 location: Where Nick Saban, Lee Corso will be ESPN's 'College GameDay' has announced where Nick Saban and crew will be during Week 1 of the 2025 college football season for Lee Corso's grand sendoff. Given that Corso announced his retirement back in April, it's not much of a surprise where the legendary fixture on fall Saturdays will make his final headgear selection. Saban, host Rece Davis, Desmond Howard, Kirk Herbstreit and Pat McAfee will accompany Corso to Columbus, Ohio, for the Aug. 30 matchup between Texas and Ohio State. Corso's first headgear selection while on location with 'GameDay' was at Ohio Stadium on Oct. 5, 1996. He donned the Brutus Buckeye headgear before Ohio State defeated Penn State, 38-7, in a top five matchup. Texas and the defending champion Buckeyes are all but certain to be ranked in the top five in the preseason polls entering the 2025 season. The Texas vs. Ohio State clash was chosen by 'GameDay' over Doak Campbell Stadium for Alabama's season opener at Florida State (2:30 p.m. CT, ABC). Corso played for the Seminoles from 1953-56. Clemson vs. LSU at Clemson Memorial Stadium was another destination some thought ESPN might choose since Texas-Ohio State will be airing on Fox. According to ESPN, Corso is 286-144 overall in his 430 headgear selections. He's worn the Brutus Buckeye headgear 45 times in those selections, followed by the Big Al headgear 38 times while picking Alabama. Ohio State has hosted 'GameDay' 26 times overall, the most of any school. Alabama is second on the list, having hosted 19 times. For Saban, who won a Sports Emmy for his work as an analyst on 'GameDay,' it will mark the beginning of his second full season with the ESPN crew.
