Blackpink’s Lisa Draws Mixed Reactions After Emmy 2025 Snub and Nomination Amid Rumor Storm

Blackpink’s Lisa Draws Mixed Reactions After Emmy 2025 Snub and Nomination Amid Rumor Storm

Lisa's Emmy 2025 Nomination Sparks Heated Reactions Among Fans

The Emmy Award nominations always bring chatter, but this year, Blackpink Lisa finds herself in the eye of the storm. While she snagged a nod for Outstanding Choreography in Variety or Reality Programming, her acting debut in The White Lotus: Season 3 didn't get the same love—prompting a strong response from both fans and critics.

Lisa joined music powerhouses RAYE and Doja Cat in a James Bond tribute at the 2025 Oscars, taking on Paul McCartney and Wings’ “Live and Let Die” while her co-performers handled Bond favorites like “Diamonds Are Forever” and “Skyfall.” The trio’s electric set lived up to the hype, and Emmy voters clearly took note, awarding their work a high-profile nomination. But excitement over her choreography achievement soon turned to frustration when Lisa’s name was absent in acting categories, even though The White Lotus: Season 3 grabbed a massive 23 nominations—including Outstanding Drama Series.

Snub or Scandal? Netizens Speculate on Influence and Industry Politics

Fans didn’t hold back. Social media lit up, with many questioning why Lisa’s breakout role as Mook didn’t get a single acting nomination. Her performance in the luxury-fueled, intrigue-filled show had been widely hyped, and many thought at least a Supporting Actress nod seemed likely.

Murmurs online soon turned personal. Some netizens pointed fingers at the rumored relationship between Lisa and Frederic Arnault, son of French luxury titan Bernard Arnault. Speculations bubbled up, with accusations (all unproven) that industry connections might have played a role in her choreography nomination, and possibly even in her Emmy snub for acting. These claims have no solid evidence, but they show just how heated fandom debates can get, especially when a superstar is involved.

Meanwhile, The White Lotus: Season 3 isn’t just any streaming series—it’s a phenomenon. With 23 nominations, it’s clear Emmy voters were paying close attention to the show, even if Lisa’s turn as Mook didn’t capture their attention in the way fans had hoped.

But the drama hasn’t slowed Lisa down one bit. She’s been tearing it up on the global DEADLINE tour with BLACKPINK, showing off her versatility by mixing the group’s chart-toppers with her solo tracks like the fresh single “JUMP.” Her stage presence, whether in arenas or award shows, keeps placing her in the spotlight—no matter what’s happening behind the scenes at the Emmys.

For now, fans are left debating whether the snub was industry oversight, strategic awards politics, or just how things shake out in Hollywood. One thing’s for sure: Lisa’s influence in both pop music and now television means she’ll be a name to watch at every award show—Emmy nomination or not.

Lisa got nominated for choreo?? lmao i thought that was just a dance battle on a yacht 🤡

Honestly? She killed it in both areas. Choreography is HARD, and acting is even harder. She’s new to this, and she’s already holding her own. Give her time. 🌟

The choreography nomination was a political move. The Emmys always reward pop stars for dancing because it’s easier to justify than actual acting. It’s not about talent-it’s about optics.

OF COURSE she got nominated for choreo. Her boyfriend’s dad owns half of LVMH. The Emmys are just a corporate PR stunt. They don’t care about talent-they care about brand deals. #EmmyScam

People forget that fame doesn’t equal skill. She’s a dancer first. Acting takes years. Maybe next year. Patience.

Choreography? Not acting? Clearly, the voters are clueless.

i think she did great for her first time. honestly, i’m just happy she’s getting this chance at all. no need to be harsh.

Lisa is breaking barriers. A Korean idol getting Emmy recognition for choreography in a Western awards show? That’s historic. The acting snub is frustrating, yes-but let’s celebrate the milestone. She’s rewriting the rules.

And yes, she’s got connections. So what? So did Audrey Hepburn. Talent + access = opportunity. She earned it.

She’s still so young in this industry. I remember when people said the same thing about Zendaya. Give her a few more roles. She’s gonna be amazing. 💪

Wow. A pop star gets nominated for dancing… and you’re all shocked? Next they’ll give an Oscar to a TikTok influencer for ‘emotional depth’.

Let’s be real-this isn’t about talent. It’s about the Arnault family’s influence. They own Louis Vuitton, Dior, and now apparently the Emmy voting committee. Lisa’s choreo nod was a favor. Her acting snub? That’s because the industry still doesn’t know how to handle a non-Western star who doesn’t play the game. The system’s rigged, and they’re terrified of her rising without their approval.

American awards shows don’t care about Asian artists unless they’re convenient. Lisa’s dancing was fire, but they gave her choreo nomination because it’s safe-it doesn’t threaten their narrative. Acting? Too real. Too Korean. Too powerful. They’d rather have another white guy win than let a global icon shine.

I find it deeply troubling that a young woman of Asian descent is being reduced to her romantic relationships in public discourse. This is not a story about connections-it is a story about artistry, perseverance, and cultural representation. To dismiss her achievements as nepotism is not only incorrect-it is xenophobic.

I just watched her performance again. The way she moved with RAYE and Doja Cat? That was pure chemistry. You can’t fake that. I’m not surprised she got nominated. I’m surprised it took this long.

Lisa’s acting was wooden. The choreo was the only thing keeping her from being a joke. And now people are crying about snubs? Wake up. She’s a dancer. Not an actress. Stop forcing her into roles she’s not ready for.
