Some fin-tastic news for Anthony Mackie: he can now add "Daytime Emmy nominee" to his résumé.
The blockbuster actor, who has starred in several Marvel films, most recently as the title character in Captain America: Brave New World, as well as Best Picture Oscar winner The Hurt Locker, earned his first career Daytime Emmy nomination on Thursday for Shark Beach With Anthony Mackie: Gulf Coast. His specific category, Best Personality (Non-Daily), was only created last year, and specifically honors "hosts, cohosts, anchors, correspondents, and narrators on Daytime eligible content that airs or streams weekly or all at once, and/or has fewer than 52 episodes per calendar year."

Tony Awards name 2026 nominating committee, including Tony winners Victoria Clark and BD Wong. Here's how they'll pick the contenders
Mackie will compete against David Attenborough for Secret Lives of Orangutans; Brad Bestelink for Living With Leopards; Andi Sweeney Blanco, Courtney Dober, Rob North, and Kirin Stone for The Fixers, and Martha Stewart for Martha Gardens.
Mackie was previously on the Primetime Emmys ballot for projects like Twisted Metal (2023), The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021), Solos (2021), Altered Carbon (2020), Black Mirror (2019), and All the Way (2016), but failed to convert any of those into a nomination.
Mackie has a shot at achieving a rare feat: nabbing Daytime and Primetime Emmy bids within the same year. He's a contender for guest-starring on the Apple TV+ comedy The Studio as himself in a storyline in which he tries to get movie executive Matt Remick (Seth Rogen) to cut a long, self-indulgent sequence from Ron Howard's latest film. The Primetime Emmy nominations will be announced on July 15.
Prior to today, Mackie notable awards bids included a Screen Actors Guild nomination for Best Ensemble for The Hurt Locker, plus mentions at the BET, Gotham, Spirit, NAACP, and People's Choice Awards.
Released last July as a part of National Geographic's annual "Sharkfest," Shark Beach With Anthony Mackie documents the New Orleans native as he investigates increasing reports of shark encounters around the Gulf Coast. Mackie is joined by a team of leading shark experts and scientists as they explore whether humans and sharks can coexist in the same ecosystem. Following its premiere on Nat Geo, Shark Beach debuted on streaming services Disney+ and Hulu.
Last year's inaugural Daytime Emmy winner for Best Personality (Non-Daily) was Christian Cooper for Extraordinary Birder With Christian Cooper. There's not enough historical data to notice any trends in this category, though a victory for Mackie, Attenborough, or Bestelink would suggest voters are fans of programs centered around animals.
Shark Beach With Anthony Mackie: Gulf Coast also received a Daytime Emmy nomination for Best Non-Fiction Directing Team (Single Camera) for Matt Kay. The category's co-nominees are all animal-related: Living With Leopards, Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom Protecting the Wild, The Secret Lives of Animals, and Secret Lives of Orangutans.
The 2025 Daytime Emmys ceremony will take place Oct. 17 in Pasadena, Calif.
