The recent announcement of Emmy nominations highlights both established and emerging talent in the television industry. Kathy Bates, at 77, has become the oldest nominee for Best Actress for her role in Matlock, while Harrison Ford, aged 83, received his first Emmy nomination for his performance in Shrinking. At the same time, 15-year-old Owen Cooper was recognized with a nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his work in Adolescence, which earned a total of 13 nominations.

Several shows dominated the nominations, with Severance leading at 27, followed by The Penguin with 24, and both The White Lotus and The Studio with 23 each. Notably, Oscar-winning directors Ron Howard and Martin Scorsese were also nominated for their acting appearances in The Studio. Winners will be announced in September.

Kathy Bates, Harrison Ford score first Emmy nominations

This is what it feels like to be nominated for an Emmy Award. Thank you so much. This has been an extraordinary experience for an old broad like me. At 77, Kathy Bates has just become the oldest person to be nominated for Best Actress for her work in the hit drama Matlock. But she's in good company. Over in the Best Actor category is 83-year-old Harrison Ford, receiving his first Emmy nomination for Shrinking. But you want me to pull my pants down and make my ass clap? At the other end of the age spectrum is Owen Cooper. The 15-year-old's just been nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his work in Adolescence, news which excited his co-star and the show's creator, Stephen Graham. But I'm just so proud of him. So proud of him as a remarkable young man. The drama earned 13 nominations in all. Other shows to score well include Severance with 27 nominations, The Penguin with 24, and The White Lotus with 23. I hope you enjoy Thailand. We usually go to the Caribbean. Jason Isaac, Scott Glenn, Sam Rockwell, Walton Goggins, Amy-Lou Wood, Carrie Coon, Parker Posey, and Natasha Rothwell will all duke it out in the Supporting Acting categories. But perhaps the most surprising names on the acting nominee list belong to Oscar-winning directors Ron Howard and Martin Scorsese, who both had memorable scenes playing themselves in the hit comedy The Studio, which also scored 23 nominations. Let me get this straight. You bought my movie just to kill it? I did. He did. We'll find out who wins on the 14th of September. Angela Bishop, 10 News.
