The 31-year-old was among the honorees unveiled on Wednesday, where drama series Shogun reigned supreme at 25 nods.
But Selena's comedy series, which also stars Steve Martin and Martin Short, picked up an impressive collection as well with 21 nominations.
For her role as Mabel Mora in Only Murders in the Building season 3, the former Disney Channel star has earned her first-ever Emmy nomination in the acting categories.
Selena will compete against Ayo Edebiri (The Bear), Quinta Brunson (Abbott Elementary), Maya Rudolph (Loot), Jean Smart (Hacks), and Kristen Wiig (Palm Royale) for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.
This is far from her first honor at the TV award show, though, as 2024 marks her third consecutive year of being nominated as an executive producer in the Outstanding Comedy Series category.
Her cooking show, Selena + Chef, previously scored two nominations for Outstanding Culinary Series at the Daytime Emmy Awards.
Selena's latest nomination comes on the heels of a joint win for Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival, which she shared with her Emilia Pérez co-stars.
