Emmys Acting Contenders: From Pedro Pascal and Diego Luna to Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, Who Was Officially Submitted


Emmy nomination voting reveals fewer submissions in key categories, but heavyweights like Pedro Pascal, Kathy Bates and Ariana Grande in the mix.

Among the most prominent contenders are Paul Giamatti for “Black Mirror” and Cate Blanchett for “Disclaimer.” Meanwhile, rising names like Lola Pettigrew for “Say Nothing” and the duo of Cooper Koch and Nicholas Alexander Chavez for “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” could break through and redefine the category’s generational reach. Apple TV+’s “Severance” (featuring Patricia Arquette, John Turturro and Tramell Tillman) and HBO Max’s “The White Lotus” (with Sam Rockwell, Carrie Coon and Leslie Bibb) are both poised to dominate those categories. Veterans like Harrison Ford (“Shrinking”) is aiming for a redemption nod after his high-profile snub for Season 1, while Linda Lavin (“Mid-Century Modern”) could earn a posthumous nom — which would put her in a small group of previous recipients.
