Harrison Ford Is Officially a First-Time Emmy Nominee
Harrison Ford received his first Emmy nomination today, with the 83-year-old actor earning a look for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy for his performance in Shrinking. Ford has earned rave reviews for his work in the AppleTV+ show, in which he plays Dr. Paul Rhoades, a veteran therapist who's also navigating the early stage of Parkinson's disease. In the Outstanding Supporting Actor category, he'll compete against his Shrinking castmate Michael Urie, as well as Ike Barinholtz for The Studio, Colman Domingo for The Four Seasons, Jeff Hiller for Somebody Somewhere, and last year's winner Ebon Moss-Bachrach for The Bear.

Along with the acting nods for Ford and Urie, Jason Segel and Jessica Williams were also nominated for their performances. Prior to receiving his Emmy nomination for Shrinking, Ford earned recognition from the Golden Globes, with a Best Supporting Actor nod last year. He also received nominations at the Screen Actors Guild Awards and the Critics' Choice Television Awards. While this is Ford's first Emmy nomination, it's not like he's had many opportunities to earn them: One of the biggest movie stars of the last 50 years was, after all, a bit too busy making movies. Early in Ford's career, during the late Sixties and early Seventies, he starred in several made-for-TV movies and popped up in various shows, but never had a main cast role. Only recently has Ford started working more in television, with the actor starring in the Yellowstone prequel, 1923, along with his work on Shrinking.

‘Grateful' first-time nominee Katherine LaNasa can't wait to see Jessica Williams, Jean Smart, and Julianne Nicholson at the Emmys
Katherine LaNasa is feeling "grateful" after receiving her first career Emmy nomination on Tuesday, and she can't wait to see Jessica Williams (Shrinking), Jean Smart (Hacks), and Julianne Nicholson (Paradise, Hacks) at the Sept. 14 ceremony. The supporting actress has been recognized for playing charge nurse Dana Evans on Season 1 of HBO Max's The Pitt. Viewers followed the character throughout her entire 15-hour shift, with storylines including dealing with a nursing shortage and being punched in the face by an angry patient. More from Gold Derby 'Awards Magnet': Our instant 2025 Emmy reactions How 'Sirens' shocked with 4 Emmy nominations "This is an incredibly talented crew, and all these people have wonderful craft," LaNasa tells Gold Derby. "For some reason, this show in particular was the time that I really could feel the craft of the showrunner-creator, R. Scott Gemmill. It's not just about the dialogue. It's about this strong arc that everybody had. I felt it was very satisfying to watch and to read. Everything kind of wraps onto itself, nothing's superfluous, and I really appreciated that. I definitely feel like, as an actor, I'm just the front man. So, it was nice to see so many other nominations as well, because I really am riding on their backs." In all, The Pitt was nominated for 13 Emmy Awards: Best Drama Series, Best Drama Actor (Noah Wyle), Best Drama Supporting Actress (LaNasa), Best Drama Guest Actor (Shawn Hatosy), Best Drama Directing (Amanda Marsalis; John Wells), Best Drama Writing (Joe Sachs; R. Scott Gemmill), Best Drama Casting, Best Makeup — Prosthetic, Best Makeup — Non-Prosthetic, Best Sound Editing, and Best Sound Mixing. LaNasa calls special makeup effects artist Thom Floutz a "wizard" for what his team is able to accomplish in such a short period of time. She adds that she's "truly excited" for all of her show's nominees, revealing, "The nature of the way that we shoot this show is way more like a single organism than any other thing I've worked on. ... We talk about what we're going to do, and we immediately start working. It feels like a team." The actress now has to submit one episode from Season 1 to the Emmy judges, and she's split between Episode 9, where her character gets punched (she calls it "the big Dana episode") and Episode 14, where she displays "a lot of depth." "Maybe some actresses really love to watch themselves, but I don't love to watch myself," she readily admits. "I also don't think that I know what I'm looking at when I look at myself." Looking ahead to Season 2 of The Pitt, which is shooting now in Los Angeles, LaNasa hopes that "all of the other actors" get nominated next year, as well as "the entire writing team." She notes that even though Gemmill has had "a ton of success," he's not someone "that gets talked about that much," so she's ecstatic he's been nominated as a producer and a writer. The Pitt is available to stream on HBO Max.

Harrison Ford Lands Emmy Nomination for "Shrinking"
Yara Sameh Harrison Ford has landed his first ever Emmy nomination. The Hollywood legend reached the new milestone Tuesday, earning his first-ever nomination on Tuesday for his role in the Apple TV+ comedy 'Shrinking," in the category of best supporting actor in a comedy series. Ford will compete against Ike Barinholtz, Colman Domingo, Jeff Hiller, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Michael Urie, and Bowen Yang. He had been tipped to receive a nomination last year for the show's debut season but he was bested by The Bear's Ebon Moss-Bachrach, who won, and Lionel Boyce, Hack's Paul W. Downs, Only Murders In The Building's Paul Rudd, Abbott Elementary's Tyler James Williams, and SNL's Bowen Yang. Last year, the series scored an Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series nomination for Jason Segel and an Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for Jessica Williams. The "Star Wars" star also received a Best Supporting Actor – Series, Miniseries or Television Film nomination at this year's Golden Globes and a nom for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series at the Screen Actors Guild Awards but didn't win either. Ford stars as Paul Rhoades, well-known and experienced psychotherapist and Jimmy's (Jason Segel) mentor at their workplace. A bit of a curmudgeon who draws comparisons to Batman and more, Paul has a bit of his ego and can come off arrogant at times, but he cares for his patients and for the people in his life that he loves. Paul also has Parkinson's disease. "Shrinking" co-creators Bill Lawrence and Brett Goldstein, who moved from behind the camera to guest-starring in Season 2 as a very notable role, Louis Winston, both have a 'deep history' with the illness as both of their fathers have been diagnosed with it. Lawrence also mentioned that his 'mentor' Michael J. Fox, influenced the portrayal of Parkinson's in the series. Fox has been cast in Season 3 of the comedy series. Apart from this arc for Paul Rhoades, he often finds himself placating Jimmy, who worries a lot about his patients and will bend over backwards to help them. Paul is big on boundaries, and he calls his home his 'fortress of solitude.' He also did secret 'chats' with Jimmy's daughter Alice (Lukita Maxwell) in Season 1 that Jimmy eventually found out about. Of course, they were mini therapy sessions. Ford hasn't made a great deal of television; he started his career with small roles on shows such as "Ironside," "The FBI," "Gunsmoke," and "Kung Fu" before moving on to movies. His first major role was in Paramount+'s "1923". He was Oscar-nominated for his leading role in the 1996 film "Witness". read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream

Emmys show love for ‘Shrinking,' but not for Ted Danson and give chilly goodbye to ‘Handmaid's Tale'
Many of those competing in the drama categories were likely just happy the Emmy-gobbling 'Shogun' is between seasons read more As expected, Emmy voters heaped love on the so-called 'Big Four' of comedy — 'Hacks,' 'The Bear,' 'Abbott Elementary' and 'Only Murders in the Building.' Many of those competing in the drama categories were likely just happy the Emmy-gobbling 'Shogun' is between seasons. Emmy voters are creatures of habit but there were some happy differences this time around, like 'Matlock' star Kathy Bates becoming the oldest performer ever nominated in the lead drama actress category at age 77. And 'Severance,' which last year only won for dramatic score and title design, looks in better shape for its second season. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Here are other talking points, 'snubs' and surprises from the Emmy nominations: 'Shrinking,' the Apple TV+ comedy about a group of funny, complicated therapists, didn't get much Emmy attention last year during its debut season, with only two nominations for stars Jason Segel, a co-creator, and Jessica Williams. This time, 'Shrinking,' well, expanded — with seven nods, including best comedy, and nods for Segel, Williams, Michael Urie and Harrison Ford's first Emmy nomination. 'Adolescence,' the Netflix four-part series that traces the emotional fallout after a U.K. teen stabbing, became a sensation, a sort of 2025 version of 'Baby Reindeer,' and has earned a boatload of Emmy nominations, with 13. Owen Cooper, who plays the young attacker, became the youngest nominee in the history of his category — best supporting actor in a limited/anthology series or TV movie. The series was co-created and co-written by Stephen Graham, who also stars as the accused attacker's father and earned a nomination for his work. 'Adolescence' reached No. 2 in Netflix's Top 10 most popular English-language series. 'The Daily Show,' 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' and 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' filled up the outstanding talk series category, dashing hopes that newcomers might crash the party. Like John Mulaney's 'Everybody's Live With John Mulaney' on Netflix, which features a quirky mix of guests, the host doing odd things like fighting three 14-year-old-boys and an episode when Mulaney was completely in a blindfold. There's also the spicy wing YouTube interview series 'Hot Ones,' hosted by Sean Evans, which has attracted A-list talent and often pulls in an audience higher than the established network late-night boys. The first season of 'Squid Game' became an international phenomenon after its release in 2021 and was embraced by the Television Academy the next year, racking up 14 Emmy nominations and winning six, including best actor for Lee Jung-jae. Three years later, the second season continued to captivate audiences, logging over 192 million views on Netflix. But not a single Emmy nomination went to its cutthroat look at life. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD After six harrowing, powerful seasons, Hulu's 'The Handmaid's Tale' ended its exploration of an alternative America taken over by a totalitarian theocracy with a meek showing. The dystopian drama had garnered 76 nominations and 15 wins over its lifetime going into Tuesday's announcement — including a historic outstanding drama series win in its first season, the first ever for a streaming platform. But the series got a sole nomination Tuesday, for guest actress. It's a hard way to say goodbye to a series that was ranked as the 25th and 38th best TV series of the 21st century by The Guardian and BBC, respectively. 'The Studio' received 23 Emmy nominations — the most ever for a comedy series in its first season. Seth Rogen's critically acclaimed Apple TV+ series is about a Hollywood head struggling to balance his love of cinema with the mercenary demands of the market. Rogen got four individual nominations, including lead actor, writing and directing. The show mocks Hollywood's addiction to franchises and the explosive issue of diverse casting, with famous actors and filmmakers happily playing heightened versions of themselves. Five of the six guest actor nods went to the show, including to Bryan Cranston, Dave Franco, Ron Howard, Anthony Mackie and Martin Scorsese. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD If Netflix thought combining Tina Fey and Steve Carell — two of the most Emmy-nominated comedic actors of the last 20 years — would lead to Emmy triumph, it thought wrong. Neither actor got a nod and the series only got one, for supporting actor Colman Domingo. The eight-episode relationship comedy is about three couples who are friends and meet up on four seasonal vacations throughout the year. Fey (45 career Emmy noms and nine wins as an actor, writer and producer) and Carell (10 nominations) will have to wait for another TV season. The momentum seems to have continued for Apple TV+'s 'Slow Horses,' a critical darling that gained traction in the U.S. only last year, in the fourth season. That's when the show about lovable loser spies was added for the first time in the best drama series category. (So far, its only win is for writing.) This season, it earned five nods, including best drama, directing, casting, writing and for Gary Oldman, who leads the underdogs. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Walton Goggins is having quite a moment, earning back-to-back Emmy nominations. Last year it was for playing a ghoul on 'Fallout' and this year it is for his 'White Lotus' portrayal of the troubled Rick Hatchett. The Alabama-born, Georgia-raised actor has been around for over three decades, with memorable turns in blockbusters like 'Django Unchained' and 'Lincoln,' playing a spray-tanned, silver-streaked televangelist in 'The Righteous Gemstones' and a hosting stint on NBC's 'Saturday Night Live.' 'Thank You God for All This Goggins,' said a headline in Vulture. 'The Voice' heard a sour note, missing a nomination in the reality competition category for the first time since 2012. The 26th season didn't have too many changes, with host Carson Daly returning, as well as judges Reba McEntire and Gwen Stefani. The new faces were debut coaches Michael Bublé and Snoop Dogg. The season's winner was Sofronio Vasquez, the show's first foreign male winner and second winner of Asian descent. 'The Voice' has been nominated for an Emmy every year since its second season in 2012 with wins in 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2017. But it will take a year off and watch one of the following shows take the crown: 'The Traitors,' 'RuPaul's Drag Race,' 'The Amazing Race,' 'Survivor' and 'Top Chef.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Kristen Bell has been a TV fixture for years — think 'Veronica Mars,' 'The Good Place' or 'Gossip Girl' — but has never gotten an Emmy nod — until now. In the Netflix romantic comedy series 'Nobody Wants This,' Bell plays an agnostic sex and dating podcaster who finds herself romantically drawn to a rabbi played by Adam Brody, who also earned his first nod. Their on-screen chemistry and easy bantering has won over TV audiences and now Emmy voters. 'The Pitt,' a throwback medical drama that's like a mashup of 'ER' and '24,' has been a ratings hit — among the top three most-watched HBO Max titles ever — and now has 13 Emmy nods. 'The Pitt' throws us into the chaos of the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center and takes viewers hour-by-hour through a single shift overseen by Noah Wyle's Dr. Michael 'Robby' Robinavitch. Wyle, who is also a producer and writer, earned his first Emmy nod in 26 years, since back when he was on 'ER.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Ted Danson, surprisingly, will not be able to extend his record for the most nominations — 14 — in the best comedy actor category this year. He already received Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations for his performance as Charles Nieuwendyk on the Netflix comedy 'A Man on the Inside.' Forbes called it 'one of the best shows of 2024' and said Danson 'has never been better.' The Guardian said 'A Man on the Inside' was 'as good a vehicle as he has ever had.' It drew 12.4 million viewers, good enough for No. 14 on Nielsen's chart of most watched series that combines over-the-air, on demand and streaming.

Emmys leave San Francisco-set ‘A Man on the Inside' on the outside
Emmy voters evidently didn't leave their hearts in San Francisco. There are always surprising inclusions and omissions from any Emmy list, but one shocker from the nominations handed down Tuesday, July 15, was the exclusion of the Netflix sitcom ' A Man on the Inside.' The comedy set and partially filmed in San Francisco received zero nominations, despite star Ted Danson receiving both Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild nominations for his role as Charles Nieuwendyk, a retired college professor who agrees to go undercover at a Nob Hill retirement home to find a missing ruby necklace. Danson, best known for the 1980s sitcom 'Cheers,' holds the record for the most Emmy nods for a lead actor in a comedy series (14 nominations, with two wins), et he was unexpectedly left out this year. The nominees are Seth Rogen, Apple TV+'s ' The Studio '; Martin Short, Hulu's ' Only Murders in the Building '; Jeremy Allen White, FX/Hulu's ' The Bear '; Adam Brody, Netflix's 'Nobody Wants This'; and Jason Segel, Apple TV+'s ' Shrinking.' Best comedy series nominations went to 'The Bear,' 'Nobody Wants This,' 'Only Murders in the Building,' 'Shrinking' and 'The Studio' as well as ABC's 'Abbott Elementary,' HBO/Max's 'Hacks' and FX/Hulu's 'What We Do in the Shadows.' The reviews for 'A Man on the Inside' have been stellar since its debut in November, with Rotten Tomatoes rating it at 96% fresh from critics and 91% from viewers. It also has been watched by 12.4 million viewers, earning it the No. 14 spot on Nielsen's chart of most watched series. It has also been renewed for a second season. Danson's real-life wife, Mary Steenburgen, will join him in the cast. The show, inspired by the Oscar-nominated 2020 Chilean documentary 'The Mole Agent' is quirky and endearing, and gives dignity to the elderly community. It also, according to Chronicle culture critic Peter Hartlaub, provided one of the best hours of San Francisco television ever. (Episode 7, 'From Russian Hill with Love,' in which Charles and his new friend Calbert spend a day in the city, from a ferry ride to the Golden Gate Bridge to Oracle Park.) But the creators of 'A Man on the Inside' can take hope from a pair of Apple TV+ shows that got some love Tuesday. 'Shrinking,' the comedy starring Segel and Harrison Ford received seven nominations for its second season and ' Slow Horses,' an espinage thriller starring Gary Oldman, received five noms for its fifth season. Each show was virtually ignored in their first seasons. Maybe voters just need time to catch up.
