“Bridgerton” fan favorite Regé-Jean Page scored his first Emmy nomination this week. The actor posted a series of photos on Instagram to celebrate his nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, as well as the other 11 nods the Netflix series racked up after the 2021 nominations were announced on Tuesday.
