Bella Ramsey, known for their role in “The Last of Us,” was back in Vancouver filming a new movie when they received the exciting news of another Emmy nomination. What makes this nomination even more special is that their co-star, Carrie Coon from “The White Lotus,” was also nominated.

Ramsey reflected on their journey as an actor, starting with their breakout role in “Game of Thrones” and how they have approached acting with a sense of fun and exploration. Despite the challenges of filming intense scenes for “The Last of Us,” Ramsey found strength in the support of the crew and their newfound responsibility as the lead actor following Pedro Pascal’s departure.
With Druckmann’s departure from the show, Ramsey acknowledged that his creative influence will always be present in the world of “The Last of Us.” As for their character Ellie’s role in Season 3, Ramsey remained tight-lipped about specific details but hinted at exciting developments.

It’s ridiculous to say their
Janet Lavigne never was, still isn’t. You’ve used it in the singular text thousands of times without thinking about it. It’s just a problem now because you are a bigot
Janet Lavigne why? The role is theirs. And they are in multiple other production with others. Use of they/their in the singular form is pretty easy and normal.
Katie Price maybe for young people with pliable brains, but for someone approaching 80 yo the use of plural pronouns for one person is confusing and jarring.
Linda Guthrie no, I donât believe that. 80 yr olds have also always used they/their as singular forms as well. I believe in their abilities.
Im not a bigot, I just feel they, theirs, them, used as a pronoun for one person is going too far
Janet Lavigne So should we refer to you as âheâ?
Janet Lavigne bit judgmental thereâŠnone of my business what they do with who. If that is their preference is it really up to you?
Janet Lavigne then shut your bigot mouth and say nothing. Also know as mind your own business!
The pronouns make this impossible to read. Just call her a her.
Jerry Waggoner then donât read it asshole! Itâs really none of your business. Keep scrolling DB.
Daniel Fry down, boy.
Jerry Waggoner never! I will always defend a persons right to be who they are.
Jerry Waggoner poor you . This must really make you uncomfortable. Maybe you should join the 21st century.
I love the actress and the work and I want to be respectful and supportive of the lgbtq+ community but the pronoun usage is difficult. Itâs not only awkward and goes against the grammar my teachers taught but most of all itâs confusing. In the above post itâs hard to tell who is being referred to. Isnât it possible to come up with a better pronoun. I saw someone suggest ze on some format.
Linda Guthrie same, but I am not changing pronouns for anyone
Linda Guthrie you state, I like the actor. But you feel compelled to make their choice of pronouns all about you. Nice job! Youâre an old fashioned, stuck in the mud bigot! đą
Daniel Fry and this sounds like an ageist remark to me. See how easy it is to be offended.
Linda Guthrie Iâm sure youâre easily offended. You lashed out at the pronouns someone uses. Youâre a bigot!
Spin it anyway you like, you just confirming everything I said to you.
