Martin Scorsese Earns First Guest Actor Emmy Nomination For ‘The Studio'

Marty just scored his first Emmy nomination for a guest-starring role. The Oscar-winning director was recognized for his guest spot in The Studio, Apple's comedy from Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen about a fictitious studio and its bumbling new leader. Goldberg and Rogen specifically wrote a scene for Martin Scorsese in the pilot episode, and 'to our absolute shock and bafflement,' he said yes, Goldberg told Deadline.

It's sprawling, it's big, it's fun, it's f*cked up. Granted, it's f*cked up. But I see it as a meditation on cults, hero worship, mass murder, suicide, everything. It's life.' 'We never FaceTimed with him. We'd never met him until the day he came to shoot,' Goldberg told Deadline. 'He just liked the script and agreed based on the script, which was an absolute miracle.' Scorsese is already a three-time Emmy winner who has already received multiple Emmy nominations over the years for his work on nonfiction series like The Soul of a Man, American Masters and No Direction Home: Bob Dylan. He won his first Emmy in 2011 for directing an episode of Boardwalk Empire. He won two Emmys in 2012 for the nonfiction special George Harrison: Living in a Material World, one of which was for directing. The Studio dominated the guest actor category this year. Besides Scorsese, Ron Howard also earned a nomination for his appearance in the Apple comedy, along with Anthony Mackie, Dave Franco and Bryan Cranston. Zoë Kravitz earned a nomination for guest actress.
