From Harrison Ford To Martin Scorsese: 7 Stars React To Their First-Time Emmy Nominations
The ceremony will be held at the Peacock Theatre (formerly the Nokia Theatre) in Los Angeles and will be hosted by American comedian Nate Bargatze. The Emmys recently unveiled their list of nominees, and fans were surprised to discover that several stars had never been nominated before, despite long-standing careers in the industry. To mark the occasion, we've compiled some of the actors' reactions to receiving their first-ever Emmy nominations. Here they are:
1. Harrison Ford
It's absolutely baffling that Harrison Ford has never received an Emmy nomination until now. At 83 years old, he's the oldest nominee on this list, earning a nod in the Best Supporting Actor category for his role in the Apple TV+ comedy 'Shrinking'. While Ford hasn't publicly reacted to the news, the streaming platform shared a humorous clip from the series in which his character says, 'What, you want me to pull my pants down and make my ass clap?' as if responding to the nomination itself.
2. Kristen Bell
Despite starring in and being praised for her acclaimed work in 'Veronica Mars' and 'The Good Place,' actress Kristen Bell has never received an Emmy nomination. However, she finally received the recognition she deserved by being the lead actress in a comedy series category for Netflix's 'Nobody Wants This.' The star posted her surprised and excited reaction to hearing the news on Instagram.
3. Ashley Walters
Ashley Walters picked up his first Emmy nomination in the Best Supporting Actor category for his role in 'Adolescence.' The actor took to Instagram Stories to share his reaction to receiving the exciting news of his recognition, saying, 'If you told the young boy from Peckham all those years ago that he would be nominated for an Emmy Award, he would have laughed you out of the room. How you start life doesn't define you; what you do with that life does. Thank you.'
4. Owen Cooper
Ashley Walters' 'Adolescence' co-star Owen Cooper made history by being the youngest Emmy Awards nominee in the Best Supporting Actor category at 16. If he wins this award, then he will be the youngest male actor to win the prestigious award. Although he hasn't given his reaction to the nomination, his Instagram account, possibly run by his guardian or management, reposted the news of his historic nomination.
5. Colin Farrell
Can you believe that Colin Farrell has never received an Emmy nomination? The 3-time Golden Globe winner finally received that recognition in the Best Actor category for his role in 'The Penguin.' In celebration of his first Emmy nomination, the actor gives an answer to everyone's questions: Will there be a second season to the show, and will he be in 'The Batman 2'?
He told Deadline and Variety: 'There is absolutely nothing in process. There's 'Batman 2″, which I haven't read the script for yet. But I'm very close to it. I can't wait. I'm going to have to block out a few hours when that happens and really put the kettle on and put a nice cup of tea on and pay attention.'
6. Chloë Sevigny
Known for her work in independent films with controversial or experimental themes, Chloë Sevigny finally received her well-earned recognition with an Emmy Award nomination in the Best Supporting Actress category for her role in 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.' Instead of celebrating her own nomination, the 50-year-old took to Instagram to congratulate all the nominees in the same categories while also thanking those who congratulated her achievement.
7. Martin Scorsese
Coming in second to oldest first-time nominee is Martin Scorsese, who finally earned his first Emmy nomination at 82 years old. The legendary filmmaker is nominated in the Guest Actor category for his appearance in 'The Studio'. His daughter, Francesca Scorsese, shared a screenshot of their FaceTime call, capturing her father's overwhelmed reaction upon hearing the news.

Britney Spears baffles fans with ‘adoption' post — but it was just a joke, sources say
LOS ANGELES, July 19 — Pop icon Britney Spears raised eyebrows this week with an Instagram post that sent fans into a frenzy — but according to insiders, the excitement was all for nothing. In a now-viral video shared on Monday, the Toxic singer danced while dropping what looked like a major life update. 'I want to let you guys know I adopted a beautiful baby girl,' she wrote, punctuated with three winking emojis. 'Her name is Lennon London Spears.' But as reported by New York Daily News, sources close to Spears were quick to clarify that the Grammy winner hasn't adopted a child. The post, they said, was just a bit of harmless fun. Fans were left speculating whether the 43-year-old star was referring to a new pet instead. After all, Spears also shared, 'Lennon today has on adorable dress !!! It says I'm NEW HERE !!!' complete with laughing emojis. But TMZ sources claimed that no dog had been adopted either. The pop star's post also hinted at plans to relocate to Italy, though those claims, too, appear to be wishful thinking — or more likely, part of the same playful fantasy. While no new additions have been made to her family, Spears recently celebrated a heartfelt reunion with her youngest son, 18-year-old Jayden, after a long period apart. She shares Jayden and his twin brother, Sean Preston, with ex-husband Kevin Federline. In December, Spears called their Christmas together 'the best Christmas of my life.' 'I haven't seen my boys in 2 years !!!' she captioned a joyful Instagram post at the time. 'Tears of joy and literally in shock everyday koo koo crazy so in love and blessed !!! I'm speechless thank you Jesus !!!' Later that month, she gushed again about her reunion with Jayden, writing: 'He came back and he feels older and smarter than me. He's a man and I cry everyday of my life because of the miracle and genius he is !!!' While 'Lennon London Spears' may not be real, it's clear Britney is enjoying the freedom to express herself — even if it leaves fans scratching their heads.

Netflix shares drop as revenue forecast leaves investors unimpressed
FILE PHOTO: A man stands next to a logo of Netflix during an event in Mumbai, India, February 29, 2024. REUTERS/Francis Mascarenhas/File Photo (Reuters) -Netflix shares declined more than 5% in early trading on Friday, as investors were disappointed by the streaming giant's revenue forecast raise being driven by a weaker dollar instead of strong customer demand. The stock has nearly doubled in value in the last 12 months, pushing Netflix's market value above $540 billion, more than the combined worth of Disney, Comcast, and Warner Bros. Discovery. The streaming platform on Thursday raised its 2025 revenue outlook and expects to be in the range of $44.8 billion to $45.2 billion, broadly helped by a weaker dollar, compared to its previous forecast range of $43.5 billion to $44.5 billion. "Better-than-expected quarterly results and upgraded full-year revenue and cash flow guidance weren't enough to keep investors happy," said Dan Coatsworth, investment analyst at AJ Bell. Investors were disappointed because the improved revenue outlook was driven by foreign exchange factors rather than stronger customer demand, Coatsworth said. Disappointment over the forecast overshadowed a quarterly profit beat that was fueled by the success of the final season of 'Squid Game'. Netflix shares, which have gained about 43% so far this year, currently trade at 43.8 times the estimates of its earnings for the next 12 months, compared with Disney's 19.57 and Comcast's 7.71."The muted response to Netflix's share price... may be down to its lofty valuation," said Kathleen Brooks, research director at XTB. With subscriber growth slowing after the pandemic-era surge, Netflix has shifted its focus to ramping up advertising revenue to reshape its business model. The company is expanding its ad-supported tiers, implementing targeted ad placements, and working on live sports events to attract advertisers. "As Netflix ramps up its advertising revenues combined with underlying strength in the core business, we see a strong runway to drive higher monetization of its engagement," analysts at MoffettNathanson said. At least 16 analysts raised their price targets on the stock following results, bringing the median target to $1,365, as per data complied by LSEG.
