Harrison Ford's Emmy chances for 'Shrinking,' by the numbers
1
Ford's Emmy nomination for 'Shrinking' Season 2 is his first ever. Granted, most of his small-screen work has come about recently.
1986
But Ford's prolific film career also has yielded just one Oscar nomination, for lead actor in 1986, for his soulful performance in 'Witness.'
10
Factoring in Screen Actors Guild (two), BAFTA (one) and Golden Globe nominations (five), Ford's major awards nominations barely reach double digits.
0
Ford has never won a major competitive film or television award.
20+
On the other hand, he has a trophy case worth of lifetime achievement awards (from AFI, César Awards, Cannes and more), which suggests that his contributions to the industry haven't gone unnoticed.
7
'The Fugitive,' a 1993 blockbuster led by an emotionally charged Ford, drew seven Oscar nominations, including for best picture and eventual supporting actor winner Tommy Lee Jones, but none for Ford.
'42'
Ford drew some critics groups' attention for his thoughtful performance in this 2013 film as baseball executive Branch Rickey, who brought Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman) into the major leagues.
83
Forty years ago, no one envisioned a supporting actor TV award as a career highlight for Ford. But an Emmy at age 83 would be lovely — and he's the frontrunner.
2
'Shrinking' Season 3 has already wrapped, giving Emmy voters a clear path to justice for Ford: not just one but multiple Emmys.

Ariana DeBose mourns death of her mom at 57: 'My favorite person'
Ariana DeBose is in mourning after the loss of her mom and "best friend." The Oscar-winning "West Side Story" star, 34, shared in a touching Instagram post on Aug. 19 that her mother, Gina Michelle DeBose, has died at age 57 after a three-year battle with ovarian cancer. "She was my favorite person, my biggest fan and toughest critic," DeBose said. "My best friend. She was my date to every important moment in my professional and personal life — and I wouldn't have it any other way. It had always been the two of us for as long as I can remember. She fought like hell to give me a good life, a good education and every opportunity in the world. I wouldn't be where I am without her." DeBose grew up in North Carolina, and her mother, a social studies teacher, raised her as a single parent. "Because it was just the two of us, we kind of raised each other," the "Hamilton" alum told Tamron Hall in 2023. In a 2016 interview with The Great Discontent, DeBose shared that she and her mom "lived with my grandmother for a portion of my youth," and her mother and grandmother helped her get into dance. "It was financially challenging because, at that point, it was just me and my mom," she said. "She was starting out in her professional career, so it was tough, but she took me to Dance Theater of New Bern." In her Instagram tribute, DeBose noted her mother's "life's purpose, aside from being my mom, was educating young people," and she had almost 30 years of experience as a public school teacher. A post shared by Ariana DeBose (@arianadebose) "My greatest and most proud achievement will always be to have made her proud," she added. "I love you mommy. Now travel amongst the seas, the winds and the angels as I know you always loved to do." DeBose also said that she "couldn't be more proud of her and how she fought this insidious disease" for three years. According to the American Cancer Society, more than 20,000 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the United States in 2025. Ariana DeBose talks 'House of Spoils' and why she's using her platform to get out the vote When DeBose won the Oscar for best supporting actress in 2022 for "West Side Story," she shared a hug with her mom, who joined her at the ceremony. DeBose also thanked her mom in her acceptance speech, saying, "I love you with my whole heart, and this is as much yours as it is mine." Ariana DeBose talks Disney's 'Wish,' being a 'big softie' and her Oscar's newest neighbor DeBose's mother visited the set of "West Side Story" during filming and met director Steven Spielberg, the actress told People. "Watching Gina become speechless was amazing," she told the outlet. Speaking with USA TODAY in 2020, DeBose also opened up about getting support from her mom after coming out as queer at age 11. "I was like, 'Mom, I think I could like boys and girls,'" DeBose recalled. "'I just really like humans.' And she said, 'OK. Cool.' That was it. And I realized how lucky I am to have had that experience, because that is not the norm."
