For this year’s Golden Globes, Brunson scored a nomination for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series, Comedy or Musical. FYI, she was nominated for the same award in 2023 and won for her portrayal of Janine Teagues in Abbott Elementary.
Back in April 2022, Brunson spoke with Elle and shared her plans for the beloved mockumentary comedy. “When I was [first] thinking about Abbott, I thought about a season one, and then I thought about a season nine. Not that I’m saying it would make it to a season nine because that’s a long way away—I don’t even know if people want [the show] to go to a season nine—but I was like, Where would I like these characters to end up?” she explained. “And I think that, if you know the end of the story, you can do everything you need to do in between to keep it from getting there too soon but still be building up to that.”
Leave it to Quinta to steal the show on the red carpet (yet again!).
