Even though the show only just ended, she's already a big contender for the Emmys and there's a good chance she could take the award home on her first nomination. Joey King has already been getting a lot of buzz over her portrayal of Gypse Rose Blanchard, which is a complete departure from her other big-time role as Elle Evans in the Netflix rom-com The Kissing Booth.
