Cynthia Erivo on 'The Outsider' and Need for More Diversity at Award Shows (Exclusive)
Cynthia Erivo stormed the screen, first with a scene-stealing performance in and then with 2019’s acclaimed portrayal of Harriet Tubman in the biopic, which earned her dual Oscar nominations for Best Actress and Best Original Song. Now, she’s earning buzz for her role as Holly Gibney on the HBO series . Unlike this year's Oscars, where Erivo was the only person of color nominated for an acting prize, the actress is hopeful the 72nd Primetime Emmys won’t see a repeat of that situation.
