Elizabeth Moss is in the Emmy race, praise be.

The Emmy-winning star of “The Handmaid’s Tale” will be submitted in the guest drama actress category for her reprisal of June Osborne in Hulu’s spinoff “The Testaments,” Variety has exclusively learned. Moss will submit Episode 103, “Daisy,” as her official entry.

Per Television Academy rules, performers are ineligible for guest categories if they have previously been nominated or won in lead or supporting for the same role within the same series. While Moss is an Emmy winner for her portrayal of June (formerly Offred) in “The Handmaid’s Tale,” the Academy recognizes “The Testaments” as a separate series, making her eligible to compete in the guest field. Hulu and Moss’ camps were recently notified about the TV Academy’s approval decision after petitioning. The complete list of category submissions will be released at a later date.
