In the featured categories, Sacha Baron Cohen as Robert Ravenscroft, Louis Partridge as Jonathan Brigstocke, and Kodi Smit-McPhee as Nicholas Ravenscroft have been entered in Best Limited/Movie Supporting Actor, while Leila George as Young Catherine Ravenscroft and Lesley Manville as Nancy Brigstocke have been submitted in Best Limited/Movie Supporting Actress.
Four-time Oscar winner Alfonso Cuarón (Gravity, Roma) is the creator, writer, and director of the limited series, which centers on Blanchett's journalist character in danger of having her secrets exposed by Kline's author character. Disclaimer is based on the 2015 novel of the same name by Renée Knight. It's coming off recent nominations at the Golden Globes, Critics Choice Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards, Directors Guild of America, and more.
The project has a 76 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, with the critics' consensus declaring it a "dense and rewarding psychological puzzle" and "an intelligent offering from a dream team of talent that also dishes some plain pulpy pleasures." Kevin Maher (The Times) says, "The storytelling is exceptional. ... It's thoughtful, disturbing, thrilling and sometimes even overwhelmingly good." Ben Travers (IndieWire) calls it "a cunning psychological thriller with twists and turns enough to thrive as pure entertainment.'" And John Anderson (Wall Street Journal) writes, "The pleasures to be had in creator-director Alfonso Cuarón's extraordinary seven-part dramatic series are largely to be found in being led astray, kept in the dark, hungrily curious."
Below is the list of Disclaimer's acting submissions for the 2025 Emmys. Note: These entries are being submitted by Apple TV+; additional actors from the series may still choose to submit independently.
Limited/Movie Actor: Kevin Kline Limited/Movie Actress: Cate Blanchett Limited/Movie Supporting Actor: Sacha Baron Cohen, Louis Partridge, Kodi Smit-McPhee Limited/Movie Supporting Actress: Leila George, Lesley Manville

Harris Yulin, 'Scarface' and 'Ghostbusters II' actor, dies at 87: 'One of the greatest'
Harris Yulin, 'Scarface' and 'Ghostbusters II' actor, dies at 87: 'One of the greatest' Harris Yulin, the Emmy-nominated actor known for his wide-ranging roles in films such as "Scarface," "Ghostbusters II" and "Clear and Present Danger," has died. He was 87. Yulin died of cardiac arrest on June 10 in New York City, according to a press release shared by the actor's representative Sue Leibman. A memorial service is scheduled to be held at a later date. In the weeks leading up to his death, Yulin was preparing to start production on the Michael Hoffman-directed series "American Classic," which was slated to star Yulin alongside Kevin Kline and Laura Linney. "Harris Yulin was very simply one of the greatest artists I have ever encountered," Hoffman said in a statement. "His marriage of immense technique with an always fresh sense of discovery, gave his work an immediacy and vitality and purity I've experienced nowhere else. "And what he was as an actor, he was as a man, the grace, the humility, the generosity. All of us at'American Classic'have been blessed by our experience with him. He will always remain the beating heart of our show." A native of Los Angeles, Yulin got his showbiz start in the theater community of New York City, appearing in a 1963 production of the James Saunders play "Next Time I'll Sing to You." He made his Broadway debut in the '80s with the Lillian Hellman play "Watch on the Rhine" and went on to perform in other shows such as "The Price," "The Visit" and "Hedda Gabler." In 2004, Yulin starred in a Chicago production of "Finishing the Picture," the final play by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Arthur Miller. The actor also directed a number of plays himself, including "The Glass Menagerie," "The Trip to Bountiful" and "This Lime Tree Bower." Yulin made his cinematic debut in 1970 with a starring role in the dark comedy "End of the Road." In the '80s, Yulin stretched his acting chops with roles in the gangster drama "Scarface" and adventure comedy "Ghostbusters II." The actor continued to switch things up in the '90s, appearing in the political thriller "Clear and Present Danger" and slapstick comedy "Bean." Brian Wilson dies: Beach Boys cofounder was 82 Yulin also lent his talents to the TV world with recurring roles in the series "Ozark," "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" and "Billions." He received a Primetime Emmy nomination in 1996 for his guest role on the sitcom "Frasier." "Yulin was part of the vanguard of a generation who cared passionately about the craft of acting," a statement from Yulin's death announcement read. "This deep, lifelong dedication led to extraordinary, resonant performances that were a gift to audiences, the actors he worked with, and the art of acting itself." Additionally, Yulin gave back to his fellow actors through teaching stints at The Juilliard School and Columbia University. 10 bingeable memoirs to check out: Celebrities tell all about aging, marriage and Beyoncé Yulin is survived by his wife Kristen Lowman, son-in-law Ted Mineo, nephew Martin Crane, and godchildren Marco and Lara Greenberg.

Harris Yulin, prolific stage and screen actor of ‘Ghostbusters II' fame, dead at 87
Actor Harris Yulin, an Emmy-nominated actor who appeared in projects including 'Frasier' and 'Ghostbusters II,' has died. He was 87. The news was confirmed by Yulin's manager Sue Leibman, who said in an email to CNN that he passed away June 10 in New York City from a cardiac arrest. Yulin was a decorated theater actor, playing Hamlet three times off-Broadway and appearing in plays on Broadway including 'Hedda Gabler,' 'The Price' and 'The Visit.' He also taught at NYC's prestigious Juilliard School for eight years. Leibman's email said Yulin was working on new projects with actor and longtime collaborator Stacy Keach up until the time of his death. The actor brought his theatrical stage presence into his film work, appearing in 'Looking for Richard' with Al Pacino in 1996. Yulin is perhaps best known to audiences as the angry judge in 1989's 'Ghostbusters II' who unwittingly causes the supernatural goo to boil over and ghosts to wreak havoc in the courtroom. His other notable film roles included parts in 'Scarface,' 'Clear and Present Danger,' 'Training Day' and 'Multiplicity.' On the small screen, Yulin scored an Emmy nomination for his work on 'Frasier' in 1996. He also appeared on 'Veep,' 'The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,' 'And Just Like That…,' 'Billions' and 'Divorce.' Recently, Yulin had a major arc on the hit Netflix series 'Ozark' opposite Jason Bateman and Laura Linney. In the weeks prior to his death, Yulin was preparing to work on a new TV series costarring Linney along with Kevin Kline titled 'American Classic.' The director of that series, Michael Hoffman, called Yulin 'very simply one of the greatest artists I have ever encountered,' according to a statement provided by Leibman. 'And what he was as an actor, he was as a man, the grace, the humility, the generosity. All of us at 'American Classic' have been blessed by our experience with him,' Hoffman added. Yulin is survived by his wife Kristen Lowman, a son-in-law, a nephew and godchildren. He was predeceased by his daughter, actress Claire Lucido, Leibman said.

Elon Musk Says He 'Regrets' Some Of His Posts About Donald Trump: 'They Went Too Far'
Elon Musk says he 'regrets' some of his posts last week during his feud with POTUS Donald Trump. Musk took to Twitter/X this morning to offer contrition, saying his posts 'went too far.' He did not specify which posts crossed a line, but he appears to have deleted his most nuclear pronouncement about Trump appearing in the Jeffrey Epstein files. The White House rubbished the unevidenced claim.

Trump last week declared that their relationship was over, and that he had no interest in mending ties with Musk. Musk urged Americans to call their representatives in Washington to 'kill the bill.' In response, Trump said Musk had 'lost his mind' and threatened to cancel his government contracts, which have an estimated value of $38B (£28B). Musk appeared to have deleted many of his posts over the weekend, including one that called for Trump's impeachment. Musk was the largest donor for Trump's 2024 presidential campaign. The possibility of a potential thawing in relations appeared to be welcomed by investors. Tesla's share price rose by 2.6% in pre-market trading.
