From Harrison Ford To Martin Scorsese: 7 Stars React To Their First-Time Emmy Nominations
Earlier this year, we saw numerous Hollywood stars take home their first Golden Globe and Academy Awards, in recognition of their outstanding performances and dedication to film and television. Awards season isn't over just yet, with the Primetime Emmy Awards set to take place this September. 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.

James Bond legend, 85, clings to walker alongside nurse just days after famous ex-wife reveals dementia battle
The Australian actor who once stepped into the shoes of 007 was spotted out in Los Angeles on Friday—just days after his famous ex-wife revealed he's battling dementia. George Lazenby, 85, appeared frail as he relied on a walker during a sunny afternoon outing, with a nursing aide staying close by his side. It's been over 50 years since Lazenby suited up as James Bond in On Her Majesty's Secret Service — his lone turn as the iconic spy— but the former heartthrob still managed to flash that old-school charm with a quick smile. Dressed in a light blue polo and black pants, the Golden Globe-nominated actor kept a careful pace, even leaning on his nurse at one point as he made his way down the sidewalk. The rare sighting comes after Lazenby's ex-wife, Wimbledon champion Pam Shriver, 63—who divorced the actor in 2008 after six years of marriage—penned a deeply personal essay about reuniting with Lazenby and stepping in as his caregiver as he 'enters the last phase of his life.' 'George is 85 now, and he has dementia, but he is still very much himself. A softer version of himself, perhaps – and this is the key,' she wrote for The Telegraph. George Lazenby was spotted out in Los Angeles on Friday—just days after his famous ex-wife revealed he's battling dementia The Australian actor, 85, appeared frail as he relied on a walker during a sunny afternoon outing, with a nursing aide staying close by his side Dressed in a light blue polo and black pants, the Golden Globe-nominated actor kept a careful pace, even leaning on his nurse at one point as he made his way down the sidewalk Pam and George first met at Wimbledon in 2000 and married two years later, when she was 40 and he was 63. They went on to have three children before finalizing their divorce in 2011, citing irreconcilable differences. However, their split was far from amicable. 'I won't pretend that it was anything less than horrific,' Pam admitted in the essay, adding, 'We didn't speak for two years.' But over time, the former couple managed to put their rocky past behind them, especially as they now co-parent their children and face George's health decline together. According to Shriver, the turning point came in January 2025, when the Los Angeles wildfires nearly trapped her ex. 'There was a moment, earlier this year, when he was caught up in the Los Angeles wildfires and only made it out by a whisker,''she wrote. 'That day, I realized how much he still means to me.' 'As George enters the last phase of his life,' she continued, 'I just want to extend this late period of reconciliation and renewal for as long as I can.' It's been over 50 years since Lazenby suited up as James Bond in On Her Majesty's Secret Service — his lone turn as the iconic spy— but the former heartthrob still managed to flash that old-school charm with a quick smile Lazenby played James Bond in the 1969 film On Her Majesty's Secret Service, stepping into the role after Sean Connery's initial departure Despite having no major acting experience, the Australian model landed the part with a bold audition — even wearing a Rolex and Savile Row suit to appear the part The film earned strong reviews and has since gained cult status, but Lazenby famously turned down a seven-film contract, walking away from the franchise 'I did the best I could,' he said in Mark Edlitz's 2019 book The Many Lives of James Bond. 'I felt that I had to copy Sean Connery in a sense' Now, the pair have settled into a quiet routine. 'We go for walks together, chatting about the kids and all the little anxieties which anyone with an older relative will recognise,' she shared. 'His dementia affects his short-term memory, but he tells stories about his younger days... climbing on to the boat to London in 1964 with just a few dollars in his pocket. Chasing the girl who left Canberra because her father did not want her associating with this guy from the wrong side of the tracks.' She added, 'Now we have settled into a routine where I try to spend at least an hour with George every day when I am at home. 'It does not matter if the Tennis Channel shows the same matches all the time because he doesn't remember the details.' Though his stint as Bond was short—just one film between Sean Connery's You Only Live Twice and Live and Let Die—Lazenby's impact as the only 007 to walk away from the role remains legendary. As Pam recalled, 'He enjoyed all the high jinks he got up to during the nine-month filming of On Her Majesty's Secret Service: the boozing, the weed-smoking, the assignations with various members of the cast.' But not everything about being Bond came easy. The rare sighting comes after Lazenby's ex-wife, Wimbledon champion Pam Shriver, 63—who divorced the actor in 2008 after six years of marriage—penned a deeply personal essay about reuniting with Lazenby and stepping in as his caregiver as he 'enters the last phase of his life' (Pam and George in 2006) Though his stint as Bond was short—just one film between Sean Connery's You Only Live Twice and Live and Let Die—Lazenby's impact as the only 007 to walk away from the role remains legendary As Pam recalled, 'He enjoyed all the high jinks he got up to during the nine-month filming of On Her Majesty's Secret Service: the boozing, the weed-smoking, the assignations with various members of the cast' 'He also found it difficult to deal with all the expectations that went with a role of that size,' she wrote. 'He grew a beard for the premiere, just to annoy his bosses. And then, when they offered him £1 million to sign up for another six movies, he walked away.' Looking back, Lazenby himself was modest about his 007 debut. 'I did the best I could,' he said in 2019's The Many Lives of James Bond. 'I felt that I had to copy Sean Connery in a sense.'

Colin Farrell's Penguin is perfect TV for the age of antiheroes like Trump
It may be the defining TV show of our times. A dark fairytale with a performance for the ages from our own Colin Farrell, that this week earned him an Emmy nomination to add to an earlier Golden Globe win. HBO hit 'The Penguin' reeks of the decay, collapse and corruption of the Roaring 2020s. After a global pandemic it was supposed to be a decade of renewal and rebirth. But at its midpoint, it's becoming clear that was a bad joke. The roars instead have become screams of anxiety across the world. Cries for help as societies have moved on from me too to me first. On screen that has taken shape as the century of the antihero. From Tony Soprano to Logan Roy, Walter White to the Wicked Witch of the West. And Oswald Cobb. Farrell has earned critical acclaim for his performance as Oswald Cobb in The Penguin (Image: © 2024 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. THE PENGUIN and all related characters and elements are copyrights and trademarks of DC. All Rights Reserved.) In a world that is increasingly shaped in the image of kleptocrats like Putin and narcissists like Trump, citizens are giving up on holding out for an old-fashioned hero. It is the world of Donald Trump the ultimate American Antihero. As president, Trump has taken a flamethrower to America's democratic and public institutions as well as the international order. He put a target on anyone who didn't pledge him loyalty, replaced justice with revenge, and truth with fantasy. His favourite Irishman is our own offering to this new cult of the antihero. Conor McGregor is a narcissistic bully who has lost a civil action in which he was accused of a savage rape. But millions still slavishly worship him because he rose from the streets and used violence to claim his share of the good life. He is an icon of the new road warrior dystopia that echoes in the darker alleys of social media. Where an army of the dispossessed and disaffected plot to 'take back their freedom'. Conor McGregor That always seems to mean taking it from others who are weaker. And by any means necessary. The Penguin chimes with these times, where hopelessness and history seem to rhyme more with each passing crisis. Where decline seems to have set into a civilisation that can't stop the rot eating away at respect for things like truth, decency and the institutions of law and democracy The streets of this dark comic fantasy carry a whisper of foreboding: the world looks to be all out of heroes. The Penguin recognises that by writing the caped crusader out of the picture entirely. There is no Batman in this hellish version of Gotham. On the streets only chaos and bad men reign. Only after eight relentlessly brilliant but dark chapters, is there a faint hopeful flicker of the Bat Signal dancing across the skyline in the final scene. But it's an illusion. There is no caped saviour coming to the rescue. The citizens of the world's Gothams are on their own. Which means they themselves will have to become the heroes they've been holding out for.

‘Monsters: The Erik and Lyle Menendez Story' Nominated for Best Limited Series, 3 Acting Emmys
The Netflix limited series Monsters: The Erik and Lyle Menendez Story has been nominated for four Emmy Awards for the 2025 Emmys, the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced on Tuesday morning. Ryan Murphy's controversial nine-episode series, looking at the wealthy brothers who in 1989 gunned down and killed their parents in their Beverly Hills home and were later imprisoned for life without parole, was nominated for outstanding limited or anthology series. Cooper Koch, who portrayed the younger brother Lyle Menendez and previously received a Golden Globe nomination for his breakthrough performance, was nominated for outstanding lead actor in a limited or anthology series or movie. Javier Bardem was nominated for supporting actor and Chloe Sevigny was nominated for supporting actress. More from The Hollywood Reporter Emmys 2025: List of Nominees How 'The Bear' Fared in 2025 Emmy Nominations Martin Scorsese, Ron Howard Nominated for First Emmys for Acting for 'The Studio' The nominations come weeks after the Menendez brothers cleared a major legal hurdle to regain their freedom; they also reflect the influence the show ultimately had on both the public and California lawmakers in buoying the movement for the reconsideration of their legal case. Responding to a resentencing petition in May, a judge reduced Erik and Lyle Menendez's sentences to 50 years to life, making them immediately eligible for parole. They will next appear before the California Parole Board in August. This reversal of the brothers' fate came nine months after the premiere of Monsters (which was followed by an unrelated documentary on the brothers, also released on Netflix, weeks later). Both led to an uptick in interest and public pressure surrounding their case; in October, as their story regained major attention, Los Angeles's outgoing district attorney wrote a letter to a local judge, asking him to look into the sentencing for the 1989 murders. Before all of this was set in motion, the brothers had filed a habeas corpus petition based on new evidence that emerged in 2023, which backed up their claims of abuse at the hands of their father. This included an unearthed letter written by a teenage Erik to his late cousin, penned before the murders and which discussed Jose Menendez's ongoing abuse. Meanwhile, a former member of the Puerto Rican boy band Menudo came forward as a victim of Jose Menendez, then a powerful RCA Records executive. The new district attorney fought back against these claims, but their habeas petition is still working its way through the courts. On July 7, an order by L.A. County Superior Court Judge William Ryan demanded that D.A. Nathan Hochman explained to the court why his office rejected the new evidence. He has 30 days to explain why he believes it does not merit a new trial for the brothers. This was not the only avenue available to the brothers, and their attorney soon filed the resentencing petition based on what the former D.A. has set in motion, arguing that the brothers have been rehabilitated over their 30-plus years behind bars, where they have, by all accounts, been model inmates and mentors to other prisoners. In May, flying in the face of Hochman's wishes, a local judge ruled to reduce Erik and Lyle's sentences to 50 years to life. The co-creator of Monsters, star producer Ryan Murphy, spoke about the then-growing movement to free the Menendez brothers and the series' intent back in November. 'I can't say I was unsurprised, because when we finished shooting it and I saw the episodes, I thought they were incredibly powerful from several different points of view,' Murphy explained while speaking at a Netflix panel for the series in Los Angeles. 'That was always the purpose of the show, to show different complicated points of view, but I thought really what it did about raising and asking questions about sexual abuse was very, very powerful.' The series, which features abrupt swings in tone, shows a kaleidoscope of perspectives on the 1989 crime, its aftermath, and the multiple trials that followed. This didn't play well with all viewers and controversy immediately emerged when the family of the Menendez brothers denounced Murphy's portrayal of their relationship, particularly the brief suggestions that there was an element of incest between them. A war of words erupted in the press and with public statements from the family and the brothers from prison. Over the months since its release, that tiff has settled as the focus shifted toward hope for their release after three decades in prison. At the Netflix panel, Murphy summed up his intent in resurfacing the Menendez story with Monsters and re-framing their narrative around the trauma they endured. 'Love it or not, there's a movement with young people who want to talk about that in a way that wasn't available in 1989,' he said, 'So whether you believe them or not is kind of beside the point. What it did, I think, which is why I wanted to make it, was launch a conversation about that topic. And people were really drawn to it, and a lot of people got involved and made their opinions known after they watched the show, which was very, very interesting.' The 77th Emmy Awards will be hosted by Nate Bargatze and broadcast live Sunday, Sept. 14, (8-11 p.m. ET/5-8 p.m. PT) on the CBS Television Network and available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+.
