‘Only Murders in the Building' Emmy odds for Selena Gomez, the Martins, and all those guest stars
To date, Emmy voters have showered Only Murders in the Building with 49 nominations and seven wins, though none of the main actors has prevailed. That could all change for the buzzed-about fourth season, which aired last summer and is now eligible at the 2025 Emmys. According to our updated odds, Martin Short (Oliver Putnam) is out front to win his Best Comedy Actor category, just months after he shockingly scored at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. His costars, Steve Martin (Charles-Haden Savage) and Selena Gomez (Mabel Mora), are both in sixth place for nominations. The three leads play unlikely crime-solvers who podcast about murders that occur in and around their building, the fancy-schmancy Arconia in New York City. More from GoldDerby 'Dune: Prophecy' showrunner teases the Fremen and which books Season 2 could cover Eriq La Salle on developing 'On Call's' 'imperfect' hybrid style and returning to acting Tony Talk: Our final winner predictions in all 26 categories, including competitive Best Actress in a Musical and Best Play Revival Season 4 features a sprawling roster of special guests, including two actors — Meryl Streep (Loretta Durkin) and Paul Rudd (Glen Stubbins) — who received supporting nominations last year. Due to an already-controversial new Emmy rule, performers are ineligible to compete in guest if they were previously nominated for the same show in lead or supporting. Thus, both Streep and Rudd are competing in Best Comedy Supporting Actress/Actor again, where she places eighth and he places 12th. In the Best Comedy Guest Actress/Actor contests, Melissa McCarthy (Doreen) has the strongest chance of reaping a bid, as she's in the sixth position. Da'Vine Joy Randolph (Donna Williams) rounds out the top 10, while Amy Ryan (Jan Bellows) and Griffin Dunne (Milton Dudenoff) are also in the running to hear their names called on nominations morning. Other guest stars who appeared in more than 50 percent of the Season 4 episodes, and thus have to compete in supporting (per the Emmys rulebook), include the following: Molly Shannon (Bev Melon), Jane Lynch (Sazz Pataki), Eva Longoria (herself), Zach Galifianakis (himself), Richard Kind (Vince Fish), Eugene Levy (himself), and Kumail Nanjiani (Rudy Thurber).

Meryl Streep and boyfriend Martin Short share passionate kiss on set amid years of romance speculation
Meryl Streep and Martin Short were spotted sharing a passionate kiss as they filmed scenes for Only Murders in the Building on Wednesday. The Hollywood icons — who portray lovebirds Loretta Durkin and Oliver Putnam on the Hulu hit — fueled real-life romance rumors after being spotted together several times in early 2024. The Oscar-winning actress and the SNL alum, both 75, even held hands publicly at a promotional event for the show last August. Streep and Short could be seen falling into an embrace and locking lips while standing closely together on a sidewalk in the bustling city. The stars were later spotted sharing a laugh in between takes and also soaked up the warm sunshine as the crew set up for another scene. In March, Page Six reported that the pair have been quietly dating for 'well over a year,' citing a source who said the romance 'took them by surprise.' Meryl Streep and Martin Short, both 75, were spotted sharing a passionate kiss as they filmed scenes for Only Murders in the Building on Wednesday The insider claimed neither was seeking a relationship at the time—but their connection quickly turned romantic. Now, art is mirroring life as the couple was also seen filming a playful scene, sprinting down a New York sidewalk with Oliver waving a banana in hand for Season 5. Dressed incognito in an oversized overcoat, fedora, and dark sunglasses, Meryl looked every bit the undercover sleuth—clearly in character and clearly up to something. The Oscar winner's disguise screamed mystery, as if Loretta Durkin was hot on the trail of a juicy new clue. Short's Oliver Putnam matched her energy in a dramatic overcoat of his own, styled over a royal blue suit—and, naturally, clutching a peeled banana like it was a top-secret prop. Despite their combined decades in showbiz, the duo showed no signs of slowing down as they dashed through the city streets. At one point, Meryl even sprinted ahead with ease, while Martin comically lagged behind, making a valiant—and hilarious—effort to keep up. Their playful chemistry only added fuel to the real-life romance rumors that continue to swirl around the beloved co-stars. Meryl was seen sweetly leaning towards Short during their busy day of filming the Hulu series The actor could be seen nibbling on a banana for one of the scenes that were shot this week on Wednesday The set snaps comes after Short's Only Murders in the Building co-star Selena Gomez posted an adorable carousel of photos with Steve Martin, 79, and Short. Since 2021, the trio has portrayed quirky neighbors in a posh New York apartment building who start a true crime podcast and find themselves entangled in a string of suspicious murders. The hit Hulu series has earned critical acclaim, a devoted fanbase, and a rotating cast of A-list guest stars (Streep). Now, as production begins on season 5, Selena marked the milestone with some fun snaps and her signature wit. In the photos, Martin and Short are seen goofing off in a car, while Selena sits in the passenger seat, dramatically rolling her eyes at their antics. '5 years and counting with these knuckle heads @onlymurdershulu,' she captioned the three photos. Back in August, when Streep and Short held hands, a representative for Streep said they were 'just friends.' However, insiders later disclosed to that a romance did blossom on set of OMITB. 'Meryl and Martin denied their romantic involvement months ago,' the insider noted. 'They are the worst kept secret of the entire production. No one really asks them anything because they don't need to,' it was added. Romance rumors began not long after Meryl's separation from husband Don Gummer was revealed. The pair initially tied the knot in 1978 and share four children: Henry, 45, Mamie, 41, Grace, 38, and Louisa Jacobson, 33, before announcing they had been split since 2017 in October 2023. 'Don Gummer and Meryl Streep have been separated for more than 6 years, and while they will always care for each other, they have chosen lives apart,' a statement shared with Page Six said. Short, meanwhile, lost his wife Nancy Dolman to cancer in 2010 after three decades of marriage. They have three children together - Katherine, 41, Oliver, 38, and Henry, 35. Martin previously told AARP that she's still with him and their three children 'all the time.' 'Our marriage was a triumph,' he told the publication in 2019. 'So it's tough.' 'She died in 2010, but I still communicate with her all the time,' the Father of the Bride star said. The pair play lovers Loretta Durkin and Oliver Putnam on Hulu's Only Murders In The Building Despite their combined decades in showbiz, the duo showed no signs of slowing down as they dashed through the city streets; the duo pictured in September 2024 'It's 'Hey, Nan,' you know? How would she react to this decision or that, especially regarding our three kids,' Martin explained. Since the passing of Nancy, Martin said that he was never one of those people who thought that meant the end. 'I believe that when people die, they zoom into the people that love them. This idea that it just ends, and don't speak of them — that's wrong,' Short said. Adding: 'That's based on denial that we're all going to die. So to me, she's still here.' Later on Wednesday, Martin was joined by co-star Selena Gomez on set and the pair also shot a scene together. The former Disney channel actress put on a stylish display wearing a blue turtleneck as well as a black leather dress. She additionally slipped into a pair of black tights as well as heeled ankle boots to complete the look. Gomez carried a large tote bag in her hand as she made her way to the set and sported a pair of stylish black shades. Selena later layered the ensemble with an eye-catching blue coat as she strolled across a street in Queen, New York. The actress opted for minimal accessories and wore a pair of flashy silver-hooped earrings Steve Martin also joined the duo while wearing a dark blue suit as well as a vibrant blue dress shirt and sneakers The stars jumped inside a vintage yellow car as a camera moved in towards the windshield amid filming Steve Martin also joined the duo while wearing a dark blue suit as well as a vibrant blue dress shirt and sneakers. The stars jumped inside a vintage yellow car as a camera moved in towards the windshield amid filming. Selena and Martin sat in the front while Martin climbed into the back of the small car. The songstress was seen sharing a friendly hug with Martin Short as they held a lighthearted conversation. When she wasn't in front of the camera, the beauty kept it casual in a cropped sweatshirt as well as baggy sweatpants.

Generate Key Takeaways Originally appeared on E! Online It looks like there's only love in season five of Only Murders in the Building. After all, Meryl Streep and Martin Short—who play a married couple Loretta Durkin and Oliver Putnam on the Hulu series—were spotted sharing a passionate kiss while filming in New York City May 7. For the scene, the costars channeled their inner sleuths by donning trench coats. Meryl wore a beige jacket over a white blouse and blue jeans, leaning into the detective vibes with a gray fedora. Meanwhile, Martin sported a reddish brown trench, which was paired with a navy blue vest and matching trousers. And though his rep denied rumors that Meryl and Martin, both 75, took their romance offscreen in January 2024—telling E! News at the time that "they are just very good friends, nothing more"—the pair have only caused fans to speculate otherwise about an IRL relationship in recent months. More from E! Online In August, the Oscar winner was spotted holding hands with Martin at an after-party for the Los Angeles premiere of Only Murders in the Building's fourth season. Nearly six months later, Meryl joined the comedian at the SNL50: The Homecoming Concert, where she jokingly flipped off the camera when it panned to her and Martin sitting together in the audience. Jose Perez/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images Even fellow comics couldn't help but to weigh in on the romance rumors. "There's really no one funnier to sit next to than Marty Short,' Amy Schumer told People in February. "I think Marty might be off the market. That's what I'm seeing. I don't know." Regardless, Martin only has praise for his costar, who he calls "the greatest actress of them all." Jose Perez/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images "The first day of shooting with her," he told E! News in September, "I was going to work, and—you know, I'm not new to show business—and I thought, 'I am nervous today. Why? Oh yeah, I'm working with Meryl.'" For more on the real love lives of the Only Murders in the Building cast, keep reading. Selena Gomez When it comes to her romance with record producer and fiancé Benny Blanco, Selena is the first to admit she has trouble keeping her hands to herself. After all, the duo have had a penchant for showing off their relationship since confirming it over social media last year. As she wrote to a fan of Benny in a December 2023 Instagram comment, 'He is my everything in my heart.' At the time, Selena revealed the duo had been dating for six months, and Benny later opened up on how their friendship blossomed into something more. 'I was the last one to know,' he told the Wall Street Journal of developing feelings for Selena in April 2024. 'It's crazy how your partner could just be sitting there the whole time, right in front of your eyes, and you don't even notice, and then you have that Clueless moment where you're like, Wait, I'm in love.' And while many of the Wizards of Waverly Place alum's fans reminisce on her previous relationships with Justin Bieber, whom she dated on-and-off until 2018, and The Weeknd, whom she dated in 2017, Selena assures that Benny is not her same old love. 'I'd have to say overall it's the safest that I feel,' she told Zane Lowe in February 2024. 'It's been really lovely and I've only grown through it, so it's awesome.' Indeed, it has been awesome. After all, Benny proposed to Selena in December 2024 after one year of dating. With a series of photos of her marquise-cut diamond ring, she wrote on Instagram, "Forever begins now..." Steve Martin Steve's character Charles may not have the best luck when it comes to romance, but the comedian is doing just fine. After all, the Cheaper by the Dozen alum has been happily married to his wife Anne Stringfield since 2007. The pair's meet cute actually happened over the phone while Anne was working as a fact checker for The New Yorker during the aughts. At the time, Steve was writing comedy blurbs for the publication, and told AARP in 2017 that he and his wife 'talked on the phone for a year' before they ever met. And while Steve described Anne as 'shy' on their first introduction, the pair's romance quickly heated up. In fact, they ended up tying the knot in a ceremony that was a surprise even to their guests—which included Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels, Eugene Levy, Tom Hanks and Diane Keaton. Steve was married to ex wife Victoria Tennant from 1986 to 1994, but he welcomed his first child, Mary, with Anna in 2012. He later told AARP that becoming a dad at nearly 70 was 'fantastic.' 'I think if I'd had a child earlier, I would have been a lousy father because I would have misplaced my attention on my career,' he told the publication. 'She's giving me way more than I'm giving her.' Martin Short Long before he was on Only Murders, Martin met his only one—late wife Nancy Dolman—on the set of Godspell in 1972. The couple—who share kids Katherine, Oliver and Henry—was married from 1980 until Nancy died after a battle with cancer in 2010. And while Martin has more recently sparked romance rumors with costar and longtime friend Meryl Streep, he has spoken before about communicating with Nancy 'all the time.' 'Our marriage was a triumph," he gushed to AARP in 2019. 'It's 'Hey Nan,' you know? How would she react to this decision or that, especially regarding our three kids.' Still, Martin noted that after his wife's untimely death he has been able to ascertain what he holds most dear in life. As he put it to AARP, 'To me, life is a practical experience each day, with a coating of 'Be as happy as you can be' on top.' At the moment, Meryl appears to be making Martin quite happy—as the duo arrived to their Only Murders season 4 premiere together, holding hands. Still, they may have been playing into their characters, as sources close to the Santa Clause alum assured to E! News in Jan. 2024 that the pair are just 'very good friends.' 'It's been a friendship that always grows,' Martin told Extra of Meryl in Aug. 2024. 'If you work with someone and love that person.' Meryl Streep Prior to stirring romance rumors with her on-screen Only Murders love interest, Meryl was married to ex husband Don Gummer for nearly 40 years. The couple—who share adult children Henry, Mamie, Grace and Louisa—separated in 2017, but kept their break up private until 2023. 'Don Gummer and Meryl Streep have been separated for more than six years," a spokesperson for the Mamma Mia! actress told E! News in 2023. 'And while they will always care for each other, they have chosen lives apart.' The couple's last public appearance together was at the 2018 Academy Awards. And at an early Oscars ceremony in 2012, the three-time award winner didn't hold back from gushing over her then-husband. 'First, I am going to thank Don,' she said during her Best Actress acceptance speech for her role in The Iron Lady. 'Because when you thank your husband at the end of the speech they play him out with the music, and I want him to know that everything I value most in our lives, you've given me.' Paul Rudd Paul may no longer be a resident of the Arconia, but his role as Ben Glenroy will forever be infamous of Only Murders lore, and the Ant-Man star's love life is just as notable. After all, Paul met his wife Julie Yaeger, a screenwriter and producer, in the late '90s. And, the actor described, Julie was the first person Paul ever met in New York—literally. He met her in a publicist's office on the heels of his Clueless breakout role. As if it could get any cuter! 'We started talking and there was a maturity with her—she had experienced some tragedy in her life, I had too,' he explained of Julie to Marie Claire UK in 2018. 'The impression I got was, 'Wow, this is a woman. This isn't a girl.'' Shortly after their office meet-cute, Paul took Julie to lunch—a short few years later, they tied the knot in 2003. Afterward, the couple welcomed son Jack in 2006, who was followed by younger sister Darby in 2010. And while Paul has made quite the name for himself as a comedian and actor, it's the life he's created with his family that he cherishes the most. 'When I think about myself, I think of myself as a husband and a father, like I'm that," he told People in 2021. "I just hang out with my family when I'm not working. That's what I kind of like the most.' Eva Longoria It's important to be familiar with Eva Longoria's love life—as the Desperate Housewives star plays herself in the newest season of Only Murders. Indeed, along with Eugene Levy and Zach Galifiankis, the trio makes up the movie versions of Mabel, Charles and Oliver. While Eva was previously married to the late Tyler Christopher from 2002 to 2004, and Tony Parker from 2007 to 2011, she found her forever in José 'Pepe' Bastón, whom she married in 2016. And the Young and Restless star—who now shares son Santiago with the producer—has said the wait was worth it. "I learned to be content on my own," she told People in 2016. 'I think I needed that to be ready for what I have with Pepe.' Of course, Eva's other true love is her son. 'Laying in bed, falling asleep—those are my favorite moments,' she gushed of Santiago to E! News in 2024. 'My heart melts. That's my favorite—when he just wants to be with me.' Eugene Levy The Schitt's Creek star's love story is simple. He met his wife Deborah Divine—with whom he shares kids Sarah Levy and Dan Levy—in the 1970s, before the couple tied the knot in 1977. Unlike the rest of her family, Deborah prefers to stay behind the camera and has worked as a producer and screenwriter on various productions over the years. But the American Pie star assures that without her, his family—nor he—would be where they are today.

Meryl Streep and boyfriend Martin Short go bananas as they reunite on set to race through NYC
Meryl Streep and Martin Short looked like giddy teenagers in love as they filmed scenes for Only Murders in the Building on Wednesday. The Hollywood icons, who portray lovebirds Loretta Durkin and Oliver Putnam on the Hulu hit, fueled real-life romance rumors after being spotted together several times in early 2024. The Oscar-winning actress and the SNL alum, both 75, even held hands publicly at a promotional event for the show last August. In March, Page Six reported that the pair have been quietly dating for 'well over a year,' citing a source who said the romance 'took them by surprise.' The insider claimed neither was seeking a relationship at the time—but their connection quickly turned romantic. Now, art is mirroring life as the couple was seen filming a playful scene, sprinting down a New York sidewalk with Oliver waving a banana in hand for Season 5. The Hollywood icons, who portray lovebirds Loretta Durkin and Oliver Putnam on the Hulu hit, fueled real-life romance rumors after being spotted together several times in early 2024 Dressed incognito in an oversized overcoat, fedora, and dark sunglasses, Meryl looked every bit the undercover sleuth—clearly in character and clearly up to something. The Oscar winner's disguise screamed mystery, as if Loretta Durkin was hot on the trail of a juicy new clue. Short's Oliver Putnam matched her energy in a dramatic overcoat of his own, styled over a royal blue suit—and, naturally, clutching a peeled banana like it was a top-secret prop. Despite their combined decades in showbiz, the duo showed no signs of slowing down as they dashed through the city streets. At one point, Meryl even sprinted ahead with ease, while Martin comically lagged behind, making a valiant—and hilarious—effort to keep up. Their playful chemistry only added fuel to the real-life romance rumors that continue to swirl around the beloved co-stars. The set snaps comes after Short's Only Murders in the Building co-star Selena Gomez posted an adorable carousel of photos with Steve Martin, 79, and Short. Since 2021, the trio has portrayed quirky neighbors in a posh New York apartment building who start a true crime podcast and find themselves entangled in a string of suspicious murders. Now, art is mirroring life as the couple was seen filming a playful scene, sprinting down a New York sidewalk with Oliver waving a banana in hand for Season 5 Short's Oliver Putnam matched her energy in a dramatic overcoat of his own, styled over a royal blue suit—and, naturally, clutching a peeled banana like it was a top-secret prop The hit Hulu series has earned critical acclaim, a devoted fanbase, and a rotating cast of A-list guest stars (Streep). Now, as production begins on season 5, Selena marked the milestone with some fun snaps and her signature wit. In the photos, Martin and Short are seen goofing off in a car, while Selena sits in the passenger seat, dramatically rolling her eyes at their antics. '5 years and counting with these knuckle heads @onlymurdershulu,' she captioned the three photos. Back in August, when Streep and Short held hands, a representative for Streep said they were 'just friends.' However, insiders later disclosed to that a romance did blossom on set of OMITB. 'Meryl and Martin denied their romantic involvement months ago,' the insider noted. 'They are the worst kept secret of the entire production. No one really asks them anything because they don't need to,' it was added. The Oscar winner's disguise screamed mystery, as if Loretta Durkin was hot on the trail of a juicy new clue Romance rumors began not long after Meryl's separation from husband Don Gummer was revealed. The pair initially tied the knot in 1978 and share four children: Henry, 45, Mamie, 41, Grace, 38, and Louisa Jacobson, 33, before announcing they had been split since 2017 in October 2023. 'Don Gummer and Meryl Streep have been separated for more than 6 years, and while they will always care for each other, they have chosen lives apart,' a statement shared with Page Six said. Short, meanwhile, lost his wife Nancy Dolman to cancer in 2010 after three decades of marriage. They have three children together - Katherine, 41, Oliver, 38, and Henry, 35. Martin previously told AARP that she's still with him and their three children 'all the time.' 'Our marriage was a triumph,' he told the publication in 2019. 'So it's tough.' 'She died in 2010, but I still communicate with her all the time,' the Father of the Bride star said. Despite their combined decades in showbiz, the duo showed no signs of slowing down as they dashed through the city streets; the duo pictured in September 2024 'It's 'Hey, Nan,' you know? How would she react to this decision or that, especially regarding our three kids,' Martin explained. Since the passing of Nancy, Martin said that he was never one of those people who thought that meant the end. 'I believe that when people die, they zoom into the people that love them. This idea that it just ends, and don't speak of them — that's wrong,' Short said.
