Zendaya won her first Emmy over Zoom , but it looks like she may take center stage in person at the awards show come September.

The Euphoria star received four nominations Tuesday for her work on HBOs critically acclaimed series and made Emmys history in the process.

The 25-year-old was once again honored with an Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series nod for her gripping portrayal as troubled high schooler Rue Bennett, making her the youngest ever two-time acting nominee in the category.

Shes favored to win that category, though she faces a number of distinguished competitors: past winner Jodie Comer (Killing Eve), as well as Laura Linney (Ozark), Melanie Lynskey (Yellowjackets), Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) and Reese Witherspoon (The Morning Show).

But Zendaya wasnt done breaking records just yet. She also serves as an executive producer on Euphoria, which earned a nomination for Outstanding Drama Series.

The honor makes the former Disney Channel star the youngest woman ever to receive an Emmy nomination for producing.

Zendaya landed another two nominations for her musical talents, as shes credited for writing the lyrics to two tracks featured in the show Elliots Song from the episode All My Life, My Heart Has Yearned for a Thing I Cannot Name, and Im Tired from the episode You Who Cannot See, Think of Those Who Can.

The Dune star is no stranger to making history at the awards show, after becoming the youngest winner ever in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series category and only the second Black woman to take home the trophy, following Viola Davis (How To Get Away with Murder).

And whenever the highly anticipated third season of Euphoria rolls around, the multi-hyphenate entertainer just might add director to her credits.
