2017 Emmys: Spotlight on First-Time Acting Nominees6 of 23
Donald Glover: Earnest 'Earn' Marks, "Atlanta"
Emmy Category: Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series
One reason Donald Glover has created a sensation with "Atlanta" is his Louis C.K.-like relationship to the series he created; aside from acting, he was also nominated writing, directing, producing — and he also acts as the show's chief music supervisor. Another reason for his success: He's provided a new voice for what it's like to be young, ambitious, conflicted, and under-rated.
