Anna Camp, best known for her role in Pitch Perfect, expressed both pride and disappointment following her omission from the 2025 Emmy nominations. Camp, 42, starred in the final season of Netflix’s hit series You, playing identical twins Raegan and Maddie Lockwood. Despite critics and fans alike praising her performance, the Emmy nominations were released on July 15 without her name on the list.
Camp took to Instagram early Tuesday to share her honest reaction. She posted a still from the show depicting her character reading her phone with a look of confusion.
She captioned the image: “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,” followed by a nervous sweat emoji.
The candid post quickly garnered support and praise from fans. One follower commented, “You were fire fire fire fire… snubs are for scrubs. I’ll down one for you,” while another wrote, “I would get sh at faced if I wasn’t nominated for this performance.” These comments were later shared in Camp’s Instagram Story, accompanied by a heartfelt message: “I love my followers.”
Her girlfriend, Jade Whipkey, was also quick to voice her admiration. In an Instagram comment, she wrote, “Blown away. Not many people get the chance to play twins and NO ONE has ever done it like you did. Take notes Hollywood.”
Camp’s performance in Season 5 of You was notable for its range and complexity. As Raegan and Maddie Lockwood, Camp portrayed two distinct personalities navigating the chaos surrounding Joe Goldberg, the show’s central character. Fans tuned in for every moment the twins appeared, and critics applauded her portrayal. Yet that acclaim did not translate into an Emmy nod.
You launched in 2018 on Lifetime before moving to Netflix after its first season. The suspenseful psychological thriller followed Joe Goldberg as he stalked and targeted romantic interests, evolving into a critical darling. Despite its popularity and strong performances, the show never secured an Emmy nomination over its five-season run. 2025 marked yet another year without recognition, leaving many viewers and supporters questioning the awards process.
Camp’s roles in Season 5 would have qualified her for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. The nominees in that category include Julianne Nicholson for Paradise, Katherine LaNasa for The Pitt, Patricia Arquette for Severance, Aimee Lou Wood, Carrie Coon, Natasha Rothwell, and Parker Posey for The White Lotus. The competition this year is formidable, but Camp’s exclusion has sparked a conversation about which series and performances receive attention.
Fans took to social media to voice their disappointment. Many praised Camp for her ability to bring two separate characters to life, often within the same scene. Critics echoed this sentiment in reviews, calling her performance “riveting,” “masterful,” and “incredibly nuanced.” The twins’ dynamic provided emotional depth to a season already packed with tension and psychological drama.
Camp’s post joins a growing number of public responses from actors and viewers disappointed by the Emmy nominations. In recent years, fans and performers have grown more vocal about the exclusion of genre shows and streaming series, which, despite strong viewership and cultural impact, often receive limited recognition from awards committees.
Netflix also made headlines this awards season for other notable snubs. You, despite its runaway success on the platform, has consistently been overlooked by the Television Academy. Other Netflix giants like Stranger Things and Bridgerton have found themselves in similar positions, raising questions about the evolving criteria for Emmy consideration in the streaming era.
Camp, a Tony-nominated performer, has enjoyed success on both stage and screen. She earned praise for her work in Broadway productions including The Bedwetter and Cinderella, and became a household name after playing Aubrey Posen in the Pitch Perfect franchise. Her ability to transition from musical comedy to psychological drama demonstrates her range as an actress.
Season 5 of You featured a number of high-profile guest stars in addition to Camp’s dual roles. The final episodes carried the weight of wrapping Joe Goldberg’s story, and Camp’s characters played a crucial part in delivering that narrative. The twins possessed unique traits that tested Joe’s intentions and forced him to engage in deeper emotional conflicts.
The You creative team shared their support via social media. Co-creator Sera Gamble called Camp’s performance “extraordinary” while showrunner Greg Berlanti praised her “fearless and transformative” portrayal of both twins.
As the 2025 Emmy Awards approach on Sept. 14, Camp’s omission stands out as one of the more surprising snubs. Streaming giant Netflix continues to campaign for You in various award circuits, including the Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild Awards, but recognition from the Television Academy has remained elusive.
While Camp did not receive a nomination, her bold and multifaceted performance has already resonated with audiences and critics alike. It also highlights the growing dissonance between awards recognition and fan support. For Camp and her fans, the lack of an Emmy nomination may sting—but her message to the industry and her followers is clear: she delivered a performance worthy of celebration.
As the television landscape shifts, with streaming platforms increasingly dominating viewership, discussions about who gets nominated and why will continue. For now, Camp’s Instagram post and fan solidarity signal that new voices are calling out the Emmys to evolve.
