Lessons in Chemistry
Brie Larson, (Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie)
“I am trying to find the words, but this thank you just feels so big. Thank you to the Television Academy for recognizing the talent, drive and passion of our Lessons in Chemistry team. To see so many departments lifted up is the greatest feeling. I am honored to say that I witnessed the most amazing people do the most amazing things. I am humbled by the world Bonnie Garmus and Elizabeth Zott has opened my heart to. And I am thrilled beyond belief that we get this chance to toast and eat together one last time. I’m the happiest woman in the universe.”
Aja Naomi King, (Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie)
“I am so deeply honored to be nominated for an Emmy. It is difficult to put language to the abundance of emotion I feel right now but foremost in my mind is my deep gratitude.

“I’m truly surprised and honored to have been nominated for this amazing show that keeps giving back to me.”
Aggregate Films, Jason Bateman and Michael Costigan
“ Like the rest of the world, we devoured Bonnie Garmus’ book when it first came out, and instantly knew that we wanted to bring Elizabeth Zotti’s story to the screen. We are incredibly lucky to have partnered with Apple TV + and the amazing Brie Larsen and then with Lee Eisenberg and our exceptional cast, directors, writers, and phenomenal crew. A collaboration as special as this is worth celebrating. We are thrilled the Television Academy has recognized Brie, Aja, and Lewis with individual nominations for their enormous talent and deep passion for everything they brought to the show. We also thank our audience for embracing this show and watching the inimitable Elizabeth Zott speak to audiences worldwide.”
THE GILDED AGE
Carrie Coon (Outstanding Lead Actress In A Drama Series)
“Today is especially gratifying because The Gilded Age returned to production last week for a season three that exists only because so many people watch and love the show, and I want to thank our champions at HBO for giving us another round. Congratulations to our queen, Christine and the entire cast; to Sean Flannigan and our hair department; Kasia Walicka-Maimone and her team in Costumes; Bob Shaw, our production designer and previous champ; and especially our astonishing New York crew, almost all of whom have returned to us after 18 months dark. Bertha is created by the one and only Julian Fellowes and the indispensable Sonja Warfield, but she wouldn’t exist without Nicki Ledermann (make-up), Christine Harlan (hair) and Amber Augone (dresser). And of course, I thank the incomparable Morgan Spector, my dearest, most painfully handsome friend, true feminist, joyful scene partner, and the love of my fake TV life.
It’s also a special day because my parents and one of my brothers and his family are visiting, and they did not have His & Hers Emmy nominations on their Westchester vacation bingo cards. Tracy and I will celebrate with a bland dinner palatable to small children and an early bedtime.”
Julian Fellowes (Creator, Writer & Executive Producer of The Gilded Age)
“It is always an honour to be noticed by the Television Academy, and it is especially rewarding when a new show is selected. Six Emmy nominations for The Gilded Age is more than I could have dreamed of, and I am absolutely thrilled. They have provided a public recognition of the wonderful work of our cast and crew, all of them stars in my eyes, and I am so grateful for that.”
Feud: Capote vs. The Swans
Naomi Watts, Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie
“I thought the announcements were coming later this week, and I’m so glad I had it wrong because I wouldn’t have slept last night! I was at home and thinking about going for a swim when my assistant called to tell me this amazing news (he usually texts and just calls when something is wrong!). I squealed and immediately asked if Billy got nominated too. He did, which makes today even more special. I’m truly thrilled and beyond proud of this show, our incredible cast, especially our dearly missed Treat Williams, and grateful to the Television Academy for this acknowledgment and to the incomparable Ryan Murphy for his constant championing of women.”
Thomas Newman, composer, (Outstanding Main Title Theme Music for Feud: Capote vs. The Swans)
“Writing a main title for Feud: Capote vs. The Swans was deeply rewarding. Urban chatter alongside spiritual decay written in ink with a poison pen. A unique challenge to say the least.. Grateful always to be noticed.”
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Larry David, Creator, Actor, Writer
(Outstanding Comedy Series) “It warms my heart to see that misanthropy is finally being recognized as an art form.”
(Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series) “This is a sad day for actors everywhere. See? Anyone can do it!”

To be a part of “Fallout,” to play these two roles written by Geneva and Graham and to get to work with one of my heroes, Jonathan Nolan, means so much to me. You know who the most grateful man in the world is? ….ME!!! I can’t wait for September 15th!!!”

Jake Garber, Rich Krusell, Lindsay Gelfand, Gregory Nicotero, Vincent Van Dyke, Lisa Forst, (OUTSTANDING PROSTHETIC MAKEUP)

Yoni Reiss (OUTSTANDING PICTURE EDITING FOR A DRAMA SERIES)
“It was such a pleasure to edit this episode of Fallout, and I’m humbled by this recognition. It’s a reflection on the entire Fallout cast and crew, which were the kindest and most talented collaborators I could have hoped for.”
Michael Harvey, Kimberly Amacker, David Kalahiki (OUTSTANDING PERIOD OR FANTASY/SCI-FI MAKEUP (NON-PROSTHETIC))
Michael Harvey “I am honored to be in a category with so many talented individuals. We will all celebrate whomever takes home the award. I want to thank my team and Kilter films, for challenging me to go above, beyond and out into the wasteland to achieve the magic we all created. Season 2, let’s go.”
Trygge Toven (OUTSTANDING MUSIC SUPERVISION)
“I’m incredibly honored to be nominated for the music supervision of Fallout. Thank you to the Academy, my family, Amazon, our amazing team at Kilter, and my deepest thanks to Jonah Nolan, Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner for inviting me along.”

Donald Glover and Francesca Sloane
“What is happening! Thank you to the Television Academy! We really weren’t expecting this, but damn did we put in some work — it’s not every day you get to make something with a bunch of your best friends and it’s definitely not every day that it then receives love this way.

The Morning Show
Mark Duplass (Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series)
“I’ve been so fortunate to work alongside leads Jen and Reese, who have blazed such a powerful trail for actors on this show. It’s a gift to get to be a part of such a talented ensemble and waking up today to see not only 16 nominations, but 7 of them from the supporting cast alone was truly heartwarming. What an honor to share this category with my fellow cast members Jon Hamm and Billy Crudup. In particular, seeing the acknowledgement for gifted and hardworking actors like Nicole Beharie, Greta Lee, Karen Pittman, and the legendary Holland Taylor is the most thrilling part of all of this. I want to thank all of our writers, directors, producers and of course Apple for making all of this possible.”
BABY REINDEER
Richard Gadd, Outstanding Lead Actor In A Limited Or Anthology Series Or Movie
“I couldn’t have imagined in my wildest dreams when I was writing this show in my tiny flat during Covid that it would go on to have 11 Emmy nominations. I am so grateful to the academy for recognising this show. You have made a little boy from a tiny Scottish town‘s dreams come true and I am crying, with happiness, even as I write this. I would like to extend my thanks to Netflix, Clerkenwell, and all the wonderful cast and crew who worked on this show, as well as my team who are quite simply the greatest. I would also like to thank We Are Survivors for all their help in the charities space, as well as the Suzy Lamplugh Trust. Ten years ago I was down and out. I hope this is a reminder for anyone going through a hard time right now to keep going. There is light even in the darkest of rooms. Fight hard and you will find it.”
Jessica Gunning, Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie
“I mean, overwhelmed doesn’t really cover it… astonished might be more apt!
Thank you so much to the Television Academy for this incredible honour.
I am so proud to be part of Baby Reindeer and to see it get 11 Emmy nominations is incredible; to also be nominated, and alongside some of my favourite actresses, truly is a dream come true. I can’t quite believe it.”
Nava Mau, Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie
“I am at a complete loss for words. This morning is such an emotional rollercoaster filled with tears of joy over this recognition of my work, and for my humanity as a trans Latina woman. Today is an affirmation of my existence and my journey as a working actor. It is a dream come true and I am so humbled and deeply grateful for this nomination. Most importantly, I am thankful to my peers for not only bestowing me with this nomination, but celebrating this groundbreaking moment for the Trans community at large.
I extend my endless gratitude and congratulations to Richard Gadd, Jessica Gunning, and my entire Baby Reindeer family. This has been the ride of a lifetime, and I am so deeply moved to be sharing this with all of you.
Mil gracias y mucho amor a mi familia en México y San Antonio!”

“I share this nomination with the incomparable Director Park, Hoa Xuande, Sandra Oh and my remarkably talented Vietnamese cast mates. It was a privilege to participate in this extraordinary, cross-cultural project. I thank the Television Academy for acknowledging my five small parts within The Sympathizer’s larger whole.”
True Detective: Night Country
Issa López
“I’m still pinching myself over this huge honor. All those nominations, for so many people I grew to love so much. We all made Night Country for fun, and from our belief that other voices deserve their share of the screen. It was amazing that HBO gave me the chance to take this big swing, and that alone was all the joy in the world. But then we got this incredible recognition. As an immigrant filmmaker, to have my first venture in the English language receive such appreciation is a dream (a wild one!) come true.”
Jodie Foster
“This just feels like a love letter from above. It’s my very first Emmy nomination as an actor and it’s especially thrilling to share this joy with our Night Country team. We couldn’t love and trust one another more, after holding on for dear life through the snow, finding our way in the dark. Being part of the True Detective family with Issa López as our fearless leader is the gift that keeps on giving.”
Kali Reis
“Fuck yeah! I’m at a loss for words. Thank you to HBO for believing in this project and giving me the opportunity to be part of this amazing team. It has been the ultimate honor to work alongside the visionary Issa López and legendary Jodie Foster. Being only my third acting role, I never would have thought I’d have the opportunity to kick down doors alongside such talented humans like Lily Gladstone and D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai. As a proud Wampanoag-Cape Verdean two spirit woman of color, I am excited to see the progression of representation in this industry as we continue to tell our stories. Congratulations to all of the other nominees. Thank you to the Television Academy and I can’t wait to see you all soon!”

“I’m honored to be included in this impressive group of writers/showrunners and grateful to my fellow executive producers, writers, directors, cast, designers, and crew for bringing what was on the page so brilliantly to life.

“I feel so lucky to have been asked to take part in bringing Tom Ripley to life in this new way.

SLOW HORSES
Gary Oldman, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series
“I am proud to be part of a team that today received 9 Emmy Award nominations, including one for myself. Our entire Slow Horses family try every day to make a quality show, and while we are doing it, we never think of prizes—which makes it so very gratifying to see the work recognized in so many areas. Our cast, director, writer, composer and each department and creative area lavish such careful talent and attentiveness, that is it amazing to see it all come together and to have the response we have had. As for me, I have always loved the quality of things you can see on television, and yes, the cliché’s are true, I am humbled to be added to the impressive list of others nominated today and in past years.”
Jack Lowden, Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series
“My sincerest thanks to the Television Academy for your support of Slow Horses – to be nominated alongside such esteemed talent is a true honour.

My experience and interactions with all of the Choctaw and Indigenous representatives from across the country will forever be a most special and unforgettable experience of my career. My children, husband and friends are so excited to celebrate this huge recognition with me and I can’t wait to see everyone in LA!

“Thank you to the Television Academy for this great honor.. I’m thrilled to be included in a category among such inspiring Costume Designers. This is my first nomination and I couldn’t think of a better project than “Shogun” to be nominated for. I share this with my crew, the hundreds of incredible artists in Vancouver and around the world who have supported me in creating thousands of costumes. The rich storytelling set in the Sengoku period, the uniqueness of the Japanese aesthetic and the complexity of all the characters have allowed me to design costumes I never thought possible. I’m so grateful to Justin Marks and Rachel Kondo for this once in a lifetime opportunity.”
X-MEN ’97
Brad Winderbaum – Executive Producer – Best Animated Program
“I think I speak for the entire Marvel Animation and X-Men ’97 team when I say we are honored to be nominated for Outstanding Animated Program.

I could have never done this without my director Andres Baiz, my costar Alberto Guerra, Eric Newman and the full creative team, my partner and producer Luis Balaguer, Ted Sarandos, Bela Bajaria, and their team at Netflix, and all the amazing cast and crew. I never dreamed that after “Modern Family” I would be able to work on something as special as “Griselda.” I’m honored to be recognized alongside Jodie, Brie, Juno, and Naomi, incredible women who gave us incredible TV this year. Thank you to the Television Academy for this incredible honor!”

BECKHAM
Director, Fisher Stevens, (Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series and Outstanding Directing for a Documentary/Nonfiction Program)
“Thank you Television Academy. It means so much to be recognized alongside such brilliant filmmakers. I love making documentaries, and making this documentary was particularly an incredible experience…
I want to thank David and Victoria for inviting me into their lives and showing the world how interesting, funny, loving, and dynamic they are. As a Liverpool fan, I never imagined I’d be directing a series on a Manchester United legend. But Beckham is more than a footballer, he is an icon and transcends the football world; he remains at the center of our celebrity culture. Finally, special shoutout and congrats to the dream team behind this series: Michael Harte, John Battsek, Billy Shepherd, Nicola Howson and all our amazing composers, mixers and camera crew. And to The Beckhams!”
Anže Rozman and Camilo Forero (Composers, “Seeing Red”)
“We feel so incredibly lucky & humbled to be part of this project. Much like in David Beckham’s life, great teamwork was paramount to the success of this documentary.

NIKKI GLASER: SOMEDAY YOU’LL DIE
Nikki Glaser (Outstanding Variety Special – Pre-Recorded)
“Thank you Television Academy for the recognition. I’m so honored to be nominated among some of the greats for an Emmy for Someday You’ll Die, especially since most of the material in this special is based on thoughts and feelings I once thought I would have to take to the grave. I’m so grateful for the support of HBO and my entire producing team who made my jokes feel more important than they ever have. Standup is usually such a solitary pursuit and for the first time with a comedy special in my career, I felt that this was a team effort. I have the coolest job and it keeps getting cooler.”
VANDERPUMP RULES
Lucilla’ D’Agostino, head of Evolution Media (Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program)
“For 11 seasons Evolution Media has produced Vanderpump Rules. Since we first premiered the show on Bravo in 2013, we have seen the popularity of the show grow as fans continue to follow the stories of our cast’s lives unfold.

Laura Karpman (Outstanding Music Composition For A Documentary Series or Special)
“I am surprised, thrilled, and delighted that I received an Emmy nomination for the amazing documentary Rock Hudson: All That Heaven Allowed! Stephen Kijak our brilliant director let me do my thing, which is a thoughtful jazz score. In many ways, it was the precursor for American Fiction. This was the first time that I collaborated with the amazing musician Elena Pinderhughes and also playing on the soundtrack is the incredible Keyon Harrold. For me, being able to express myself as a jazz musician and work on incredible queer content is a dream come true.”
ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING
John Hoffman, Outstanding Comedy Series
“In order to pull this season off, it meant everyone — from the greatest actress ever to the greatest propmaster swaddling each one of our Pickwick Triplets — bringing the most of their love, talent and ensemble spirit. I watched it up close in amazement and today I’m out of my mind thrilled and grateful the Academy has seen them too, and honored so many of our cast and team of artists and collaborators in NY and LA that made our magical third season sing so unforgettably.”

Payton Koch (Editor, “Sitzprobe”)
“Wow!!! Hard to sum up all the feelings… I’m so grateful to be a part of the Only Murders family and to be recognized with an Emmy nomination makes the work feel even better. Forever grateful to our showrunner John Hoffman for the gift that keeps on giving that is this show. Thank you so so much!”
Shelly Westerman, ACE (Editor, “Sitzprobe”)
“Our show is pure joy, on every level. So thrilled for all our nominees.”
Benj Pasek, Justin Paul, Marc Shaiman & Scott Wittman, Outstanding Music & Lyrics
“After getting to write for a legend like Steve Martin, for a production as joyous as Only Murders In The Building, it feels downright absurd–almost as absurd as our song about three triplet infants accused of murder–to receive this nomination for “Which Of The Pickwick Triplets Did It?” We’d like to thank John Hoffman and the entire team for inviting us to write this wacky little musical within their brilliant show, with extra thanks to Steve for such a glorious rendition of our song. Special mention too to Sidd, Bruce and Lauren from the Only Murders music department on their deserved nods. We look forward to getting the gang back together in September, and thank Steve, Marty, Selena, Meryl, Paul and the entire cast for the passion they poured into the music of Death Rattle Dazzle.”
Jim Henson The Idea Man
Jeremy S. Bloom (Sound Designer), Outstanding Sound Editing for a Nonfiction or Reality Program
“I’m honored to be recognized for the work my collaborators Daniel Timmons, Tony Volante, Ian Cymore, Kelly Rodriguez, Ryan Rubin, and I put into this incredible film. I hope we did Jim proud and that viewers have as much fun watching the film as we did creating its soundscape!”

Matthew D. Miller (Editor, “Rate-A-Queen”)
“I’m very honored to receive my 2nd nomination for Outstanding Picture Editing for RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked! I’m so proud of the whole team on this series, and of course, all of the amazing queens who make this show possible! Your artform is forever inspiring.”
Alex Edelman: Just For Us
Alex Edelman (Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special)
“Wow. Everyone in this category – including the Oscars – performed at the Cake Shop open mic on the Lower East Side in November of 2013, so I cannot believe that eleven years later we all get to be nominated together. I’ll never forget Jacq’s great french fry stuff and the Oscars’ really interesting material about George W. Bush. I’m so honored to be amongst them.
I owe thanks to the countless people who guided me through this process like a millipede through a minefield: my crew on Broadway, the producers of the show – which include fellow nominee and my unpaid therapist Mike Birbiglia – Alex Timbers, who directed a special I am so proud of and made every single moment of this process a joy, the brilliant editor Kelly Lyons, even though she cut out all of my scenes with The Rock (sad!). To HBO and MAX? I could not appreciate all the faith and support you put behind this more. And thanks for The Larry Sanders Show. It rules.
I also want to acknowledge my closest friend and longtime collaborator Adam Brace, who passed a few weeks before our show started on Broadway. He’d be thrilled and probably a little bit cider-drinking about this. I miss him every day and thought of him all morning.
Finally, I want to thank the audiences who came to see my show and who watched it on HBO. Whether you sat in a cramped room in a Greek Cultural Center in Australia, a room behind a pub in London, the Hudson Theater on Broadway or your living room couch in Boston, this wouldn’t have happened without you coming to watch and telling other people. It’s been a six year journey. And what a nice denouement. Can you believe it?”
