From Zendaya to the Cast of Squid Game -- Here Is Everyone Who Made History At the 2022 Emmy Awards

Television's biggest night began with a few record-breaking nominations and while many favorites were snubbed from receiving a golden trophy, many stars made history with just a simple nomination.

Zendaya became the youngest two-time lead acting nominee and the youngest woman nominated for producing ever. She also became the first Black woman to be nominated for acting and songwriting in the same year with her nomination for acting and songwriting in HBO's "Euphoria."

Meanwhile, the "Squid Game" crew broke records across the board in nearly every category the Netflix series was nominated in.

Read on for all of the history-defining wins of the night:

Zendaya -- Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama

Zendaya became not only the first Black woman to win an Emmy award for Lead Actress in a Drama twice, but the "Euphoria" star became the youngest two-time winner for any Emmy award category in history.

The 26-year-old won the award for her performance as Rue in HBO Max's "Euphoria," and also made history solely for her nominations for original music and lyrics for the songs "Elliot's Song" and "I'm Tired" from the HBO series. Zendaya is the first Black woman to be nominated for acting and songwriting in the same year.

Barack Obama -- Outstanding Narrator

Former President Barack Obama came one step closer to achieving the coveted EGOT. The 61-year-old took home the award for Outstanding Narrator with his performance in Netflix's five-part docuseries "Our Great National Parks." His historic win made him the first U.S. President to win a competitive Emmy Award.

Obama also served as a producer on his series via his production company Higher Ground.

Sheryl Lee Ralph -- Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series

Sheryl Lee Ralph became only the second Black woman to ever win an Emmy in this category for her performance in Quinta Brunson's "Abbot Elementary." Jackée Harry was the first, back in 1987.

RuPaul -- Outstanding Host for a Reality or Competition Program

RuPaul stands as the most awarded Black individual in Emmy Award history and now has 12 wins with his 2022 award for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Competition Program for "RuPaul's Drag Race."
