How can the Latino star of Disney's Andor, the best-reviewed show in the Star Wars franchise, be snubbed by the Emmys? 

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on how the voting process really works from the inside.

We're also asking some hard questions: Why are Latinos showing up in record numbers, yet the nomination process doesn't reward them? What does the Diego Luna snub say to Latinos when reaching the peak is still not enough?

We also shoutout the Latino showrunners, writers, composers, editors, and hairstylists quietly winning and shaping mainstream culture. And finally, why does the media keep erasing the "Afro" when describing stars like Colman Domingo and Lisa Colón-Zayas?
