‘Matlock' acting Emmy submissions include Kathy Bates and Skye P. Marshall, plus these 3 guest stars
CBS will submit nine cast members from Matlock Season 1 for Emmy consideration, Gold Derby has learned.
Kathy Bates is entering the Best Drama Actress category for playing Madeline Kingston, a wealthy woman who's masquerading as a kind-hearted lawyer named Madeline "Matty" Matlock. Madeline uses her manipulation skills (and an assist from Werther's Originals) to try to uncover which partner at Jacobson Moore covered up evidence that could have prevented the opioid epidemic that led to her daughter's death. Bates, an Oscar winner for Misery (1990), has already won two Emmys in her career, for Two and a Half Men (guest actress, 2012) and American Horror Story: Coven (supporting actress, 2014), but this would be her first lead Emmy victory.

Five performers are campaigning in the two featured categories: Sam Anderson as Edwin Kingston, David Del Rio as Billy Martinez, and Jason Ritter as Julian Markston in Best Drama Supporting Actor; and Leah Lewis as Sarah Yang and Skye P. Marshall as Olympia Lawrence in Best Drama Supporting Actress.
Finally, three memorable guest stars from Season 1 will appear on this year's Emmy ballot: Beau Bridges as Howard "Senior" Markston in Best Drama Guest Actor; and Yael Grobglas as Shae Banfield and Julie Hagerty as Bitsy in Best Drama Guest Actress.
Bates has led her category all season long, per the Gold Derby odds. If she prevails on Emmy night, she would be the oldest person ever to win Best Drama Actress, at age 77. (Damages star Glenn Close currently holds that record, at age 62.) Marshall, fresh off of her Critics Choice nomination, is now in the Top 20 for her Emmy category, while Matlock is in 16th place for Best Drama Series.
Matlock is developed by Jennie Snyder Urman, and loosely inspired by the 1986 legal drama of the same name that was created by Dean Hargrove. "I wanted it to be a love letter to women in the workforce, that you can really have passion about your career, and you don't have to feel guilty about that," Urman recently told Gold Derby.
Below is the list of Matlock's acting submissions for the 2025 Emmys. Note: These entries are being submitted by CBS; additional actors from the series may still choose to submit independently.
Drama Actress: Kathy Bates Drama Supporting Actor: Sam Anderson, David Del Rio, Jason Ritter Drama Supporting Actress: Leah Lewis, Skye P. Marshall Drama Guest Actor: Beau Bridges Drama Guest Actress: Yael Grobglas, Julie Hagerty

Evan Engram embraces Sean Payton's ‘Joker' role but says it's something he has to earn in Denver
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Don't call Evan Engram the 'Joker' just yet. The ninth-year tight end has embraced coach Sean Payton's vision of him as a versatile player who can create mismatches for Denver's offense, led by second-year QB Bo Nix. When he signed a two-year, $23 million deal in the spring, Engram took to X and posted a GIF of the late Heath Ledger's Oscar-winning performance as the Joker in 'The Dark Knight.' On Thursday, however, Engram said he still needs to earn the moniker. 'That is a cool thing to just embrace,' Engram said. 'Sean talks about it a lot. It was a big part of the pitch coming here. The fans are great here, so (the social media post) was just embracing that narrative a little bit. I definitely see that it is something that has to be earned with the way I work and the way that I learn the offense to gain the trust of Sean, Bo and the rest of the coaches and players. 'I think we have a bunch of Jokers on this team, honestly, that can have a great role on this offense. It is definitely something that I like to embrace, but it is also something that I am going to earn, too.' Actually, Engram is probably the only member of the Broncos offense who fits Payton's description of the Joker. Last year, Payton described the Joker as 'either a running back or tight end with exceptional ball skills and then you can work matchups. We've had that at the running back (position). Reggie Bush was the Joker, Darren Sproles and Alvin Kamara. Those were all unique players, not just in the running game, but they had passing game skill sets that allowed you to do multiple things.' Payton was hoping tight end Greg Dulcich would turn into his Joker last season, but his propensity to drop passes squelched that notion and led to his release. So, Payton entered free agency this year intent on landing the traditional hallmark of his offense, and he did so when Engram signed with the Broncos after three seasons in Jacksonville and five with the New York Giants. Before Engram agreed to Denver's offer, Payton and the rest of the Broncos' brain trust had to sweat through Engram's subsequent visit with the AFC West rival Los Angeles Chargers. 'Free agency is a crazy roller coaster,' said Engram, who was the 23rd overall pick by the Giants in 2017. 'I took a visit to LA. It's a great organization there, as well. I had a great visit with them, but the best place for me and my family was here in Denver. Just with the offense, the history here, the way the organization takes care of its players.' On Thursday, the final day of organized team activities open to the media, Engram ran routes with receivers, not tight ends, and he stood out for his fluidity and his jersey number. Asked why he chose No. 1, Engram said it was his number in high school. At Mississippi he wore No. 17, a number he revived with the Jaguars. So when the Broncos sent him a list of available numbers after he signed, he relayed the list to his family members, who all concurred he should wear No. 1 again. 'It's a cool thing just to reconnect to the glory days of high school football,' Engram said. Dobbins to Denver? The Broncos could be adding a veteran running back to their roster. Free agent J.K. Dobbins plans to visit Denver a week ahead of the team's mandatory minincamp. 'We'll have a chance to visit with him and then we'll see where it goes,' Payton said. 'We really like the group right now that we're working with. It's just another opportunity to possibly bring in another good football player to help us win.' The Broncos drafted R.J. Harvey out of Central Florida in the second round of the NFL draft in April. He is viewed as a potential three-down back and leads a relatively young group of rushers that includes second-year pros Blake Watson and Audric Estime, third-year player Jaleel McLaughlin and fourth-year pro Tyler Badie. Dobbins gained a career-best 905 yards on 195 carries and tied his career high with nine rushing touchdowns last year with the Chargers despite missing four games with a sprained knee. If he signs, Dobbins could become a big contributor in the Broncos' backfield. The former second-round pick by the Baltimore Ravens has an extensive injury history, including an ACL tear in 2021 and a torn Achilles tendon in 2023. ___ AP NFL:

Judge Scolds Diddy for ‘Nodding Vigorously' to the Jury, Threatens to Remove Him From Courtroom
Sean 'Diddy' Combs was put on warning during his sex trafficking trial, as the judge overseeing the courtroom scolded him for making facial expressions at the jurors. 'I was very clear there should be no facial expressions to the jury, and I could not have been clearer,' Judge Arun Subramanian told Combs' attorneys during the lunch break on Thursday. 'There was a line of questioning where your client was nodding vigorously and looking at the jury,' he said, adding that it was 'absolutely unacceptable.'

'No, your honor, it's not going to happen again,' Agnifilo replied. The judge said if Combs could not comply with his order, 'I will give an instruction to the jury or it could result in the exclusion of your client from the courtroom.' Combs has often appeared stoic during the court proceedings, but there have been certain testimonies (including that of his former assistant George Kaplan) during which he has peered over at the jurors and nodded. Combs also tends to look at the members of the public and press seated behind him, often giving a gesture of gratitude to those in the friends and family section. On Thursday, the court heard testimony from Bryana Bongolan, a woman who claims Combs held her over a 17th-floor balcony, and a former romantic partner of Combs' who is using the pseudonym 'Jane.' Combs is charged with sex trafficking and racketeering. If he's convicted, he could spend the rest of his life behind bars.
