BLACKPINK’s Lisa Snubbed at Emmys 2025 for The White Lotus Debut, Gets Nominated for Music Role Instead

BLACKPINK’s Lisa, who made her highly anticipated acting debut in The White Lotus Season 3, did not receive an Emmy nomination for her performance — a move that has sparked intense fan disappointment online. Instead, the K-pop icon received a nod in a music-related category, surprising many who expected her acting to be officially recognized.

Lisa played a key role in the hit HBO series, and while her performance was praised by fans and critics alike for its poise and intensity, the Television Academy chose not to nominate her in any acting category.

Instead, Lisa’s Emmy 2025 nomination came in the Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics category for a project tied to her music career, showcasing her versatility — but also highlighting the ongoing underrepresentation of Asian talent in major Western award shows.

Fan Reactions:

“Lisa absolutely owned her scenes in The White Lotus. She deserved a Best Supporting Actress nomination!”

“Why nominate her music and ignore her powerful acting? Feels like a snub.”

“Glad she’s still recognized — but Emmy voters need to catch up with global talent.”

While Lisa remains celebrated across the globe for her dual talent in music and acting, her Emmys 2025 snub in the acting category reignites the debate about fair recognition for non-Western artists in Hollywood’s top awards circuit.
