A former winner of Dancing with the Stars had a strong reaction to the recent Emmy nominations. Season 22 DWTS winner Nyle DiMarco shared a video on his Instagram page showing his real-time reaction to learning the news, and fans loved it.
The 2025 nominees for the 77th annual Primetime Emmy Awards were announced on July 15. DiMarco's Apple TV+ project Deaf President Now! received two nominations. One was for the category of Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special, and the other was for Outstanding Directing for a Documentary or Nonfiction Program.
DiMarco videotaped himself preparing for the live televised nominations. "Dang, it's going to be one LONG 15 minutes," he quipped as he braced himself for the lengthy rundown of nominations.
Fifteen minutes later, DiMarco shared, "Wait... they're already done?!" He noted that the full nomination list was online, so he grabbed his laptop and teased, "Ok, LET'S GO THERE."
