Millie Bobby Brown is one of the most discussed Hollywood celebrities today. The actress won many hearts with her role as Eleven in Stranger Things. The young Brit who played Eleven on the show was highly appreciated for acting so well and working on her accent to give complete justice to the role. This sure contributed to the show’s overall success since it won many nominations for Emmy 2022.

Surprisingly, the cast members of Stranger Things were missing from the television’s biggest award functions. Maybe Millie is busy considering the door of opportunities that this show got her. She had been previously nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series at the Emmys. During the 2018 Emmys, the ever-shining actress made headlines, looking like an absolute cupcake in her pink gown. So when this year’s Emmy came and went, we had one question. Where was Millie Bobby Brown?

But despite Millie’s amazing performance as Eleven, she was not nominated for any awards. The scenario is unlikely to change as Season 4 will not qualify for next year’s Emmys as well.

Although fans are unhappy with the Emmys snub, it doesn’t affect Brown much. In a matter of a few years, she managed to turn her life around, from being an actress to a producer and a business mogul. Add to it, she is also admitted to Purdue University for higher studies. So maybe the weekday homework kept her busy as she juggles between the Stranger Things finale shoot and schoolwork. She already has a lot on her plate and is recently enjoying her time off.
