“I already have the best job in the world, but to be recognized alongside titans of the industry (including and especially my fellow cast mates Harrison, Jason and Jessica) is next-level-thrilling. It’s an honor to be an actor and get paid to depict the human condition. And the fact that I get to do it with the cast, crew, writers, and directors of Shrinking – each and every one of them are geniuses – makes it even better. I’m so proud to be nominated alongside Jeff, Bowen and Coleman – and also Ebon, Ike and Harrison, even though they’re straight.”

The idea that then we would be considered for prizes alongside people that have dazzled us our whole life is just beyond imagining.

It’s a testament to the power of perseverance. Dreams are important — but it’s the hard work, the setbacks, the growth, and the consistency that make them real.
Five years ago, this felt out of reach. Today, I’m incredibly proud — not just for myself, but to stand alongside a group of artists I admire deeply. What we made together is something I’ll carry with me forever, and to see it acknowledged on this level is truly special.
Thank you to the Emmys for this nomination. To my wife and kids — thank you for grounding me and giving me purpose. To my family and friends, for being my foundation.

All of our directors came with into the game with real curiosity about how much unpredictable messy life we could pack into this operatic tale. And my perfect ,wild ,fearless, loving partners in crime Colin, Cristin and Rhenzy made anything possible every day.

–Joe Pantoliano, Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series nominee for The Last of Us,
“Being a Brit, I’m in genuine shock, as I hadn’t dared to acknowledge that a nomination might be an actual possibility. Having now confirmed to myself that I haven’t hallucinated the whole thing in some grandiose episode of unchecked ego, my first thoughts are about how lucky I’ve been to collaborate with everyone on this show. To be able to help bring Deborah and Ava’s complicated relationship to life with such a fun, creative team is really something. When we music spot the show, everyone brings their A game, but when we collaborate the sum really is greater than its parts. Being a Brit, effusive displays of emotion are generally frowned upon, but I would like go against centuries of emotional repression and thank Jen, Paul and Lucia for being the most wonderful showrunners and collaborators; editors Susan, Jon and Rob; the NBCUniversal clearance team for being absolute legends; HBO for their vision and support; and my team for putting up with me.”
–Matt Biffa, Outstanding Music Supervision nominee for Hacks

With an eclectic spectrum of work, this year’s nominees have really pushed the envelope in television cinematography. My thanks must go to Director Brian Kirk, who was always in the eye of the storm, pushing hard to make an international espionage thriller of the highest standard, as well as to the teams at Carnival, Sky and Peacock for pulling it all together.
The work of “Christopher Ross BSC” is really the combined efforts of a huge number of people and my thanks must go to Szabolcs Sipos, Dávid Kecskeméti, and the rest of the crew in Budapest, for delivering such a high-calibre adventure, as well as Thomas Urbye at The Look for adding the final (destaurated) flourish. What an incredible honour.”

The big question; one of them, is this. Are they gonna virtually shiv Kristen Bell again and thus make her a martyr of sorts, an example of what's so wrong with the Emmys? Or will there be an actual Comedy lead actress competition and give the overrated Jean Smart a chance to lose?
I get that you like KB–she's great on NWT (and so many things). But you need to chill.
Check out K-Bell's instagram feed. And don't tell me otherwise this redemption didn't matter to her. The imperious Jean Smart has a challenger, finally. I never thought I'd live to see this fantastic day. 2020 and the scandalous Tracee Ellis Ross nomination is a bad memory and deep in the rear view mirror.
KB for the fucking WIN.
