Sofia Vergara, David Beckham & More React to 2024 Emmy Nominations

As a person who has followed the Emmy Awards for years, I am absolutely thrilled to see such a diverse and talented group of nominees this year. It’s truly inspiring to witness the hard work and dedication of these individuals recognized by the Television Academy.

Television’s biggest night is nearly here.

As a long-time television enthusiast and industry insider, I can’t help but feel a thrill of excitement as I hear the news that the 2024 Emmy nominations have been announced. The anticipation leading up to the ceremony is always palpable, and having worked in the TV business for years, I can attest to the sheer hard work and dedication that goes into creating award-worthy content. The buildup to the live broadcast on Sept. 15 from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles promises to be an electric experience, and I can’t wait to see who will take home the prestigious Emmy awards this year.

During a live broadcast on July 17, Sheryl Lee Ralph from “Abbott Elementary” and Tony Hale, formerly of “Veep,” revealed the nominees for television’s most prestigious accolade. The list these esteemed actors presented suggests that the 76th Emmy Awards could be the most challenging to predict due to the exceptional caliber of contenders.

Sofia Vergara became the first Latin actress to earn a nod in the Outstanding Lead Actress category for a Limited or Anthology series, with her role in “Griselda.” At 52 years old, she had previously been nominated four times for her acting in “Modern Family.”

The host expressed his gratitude in a statement, sharing that “Griselda” was my initial dramatic character I brought to life after a 15-year journey. I’m deeply appreciative of all those involved in this project.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d like to share my appreciation for the incredible teamwork behind the successful project I recently worked on. I’m particularly grateful for the collaboration of talented individuals such as director Andres Baiz and my costar Alberto Guerra.

As a passionate fan and follower of Modern Family, I could hardly believe my eyes when the opportunity to contribute to Griselda presented itself. This project holds such a unique and special place in my heart, surpassing even my wildest dreams following the conclusion of Modern Family. To be acknowledged in the same breath as Jodie, Brie, Juno, and Naomi – women who have graced our screens with their exceptional talents and unforgettable performances this year – is an immense honor that I will cherish forever.

Regarding the front-runners for this year’s awards: “The Bear” broke the record for most comedy series nominations with an impressive 23 mentions, surpassing “30 Rock’s” previous high of 22 in 2009. “Only Murders in the Building” came in second place with a total of 21 nominations, while “Abbott Elementary” received eight nods.

In the world of dramas, I’m thrilled to share that “Shogun” has taken the lead with an impressive 25 nominations at the upcoming awards ceremony. I’ve been keeping a close eye on things and can confirm that “The Crown” and “The Gilded Age” have also made significant strides with 18 and 6 nominations respectively. After the 2023 ceremony saw a dominant performance from “Succession” and its talented cast, including Kieran Culkin, Sarah Snook, and Matthew MacFayden, it’s anyone’s game for the drama series category this year. The anticipation is palpable!

In the 2024 Emmys, noteworthy nominees include Ayo Edebiri, who earned her second nomination this year for “The Bear,” having won her first award last year. Additionally, 36 newcomers were recognized with their first nominations. Among them are Da’Vine Joy Randolph, who recently won an Oscar for her role in “Only Murders in the Building” as a guest star, Ryan Gosling for his April hosting stint on “Saturday Night Live,” and Richard Gadd, who received two nominations for his acclaimed semi-autobiographical horror thriller “Baby Reindeer.”

Just being nominated is already an honor, according to a common expression. Continue reading to discover how each star is marking this distinguished recognition.

As an obsessed fan I’d say: “I can’t believe it! Fifteen long years ago, Griselda was my very first dramatic role. And now, we’ve finally brought her to stunning life. I’m deeply grateful for everyone who supported us on this journey. I couldn’t have done it without the brilliant guidance of my director Andres Baiz, my costar Alberto Guerra, Eric Newman, and our entire creative team. My partner and producer Luis Balaguer was by my side every step of the way. Ted Sarandos, Bela Bajaria, and their incredible Netflix team believed in us from the start. And to all the talented cast and crew – thank you for bringing Griselda’s story to life as only you could.”

And the America’s Got Talent judge also nodded to her Emmy-winning roots.

“I never imagined that following ‘Modern Family,’ I’d have the opportunity to work on a project as remarkable as ‘Griselda.’ I’m humbled to be in the same category as Jodie, Brie, Juno, and Naomi, remarkable women who brought us exceptional TV this year. I’m deeply grateful to the Television Academy for recognizing my work with this incredible honor.”

As an obsessed fan, I’d express it like this: “I’m absolutely thrilled and humbled that Beckham, a project dear to my heart and the entire creative team, has been acknowledged by the TV Academy. Making this series was an intensely personal journey for me – a tribute to football and my family. The outpouring of love and support we’ve received has left Victoria and me speechless. I can’t thank enough Fisher Stevens and his team for their dedication, as well as the countless people from my life who graciously contributed to my story.”

When I received the news from Television Academy Chair Cris Abrego during the live nominations announcement on July 17 that I had earned my second Emmy nod for my work on Abbott Elementary, I couldn’t contain my excitement and exclaimed, “This still feels like a dream come true!” or “Hearing about this second Emmy nomination is just as thrilling as the first time!”

The star expressed her shock and emotion on Instagram, writing “I’m 90% positive my pottery studio misunderstood me when I exclaimed ‘What?’ and burst into tears upon learning that ‘Girls5eva’ earned two Emmy nominations. Bravo to our talented team @scardinoandsons and writers, and a well-deserved nod to the amazing @sarabareilles for her song ‘Medium Time’. Don’t miss out on the hilarious ‘Girls5eva’ – all three seasons are streaming on Netflix now!”

Lionel expressed his continued awe at the success we achieved in 1985, and was even more astonished after receiving an Emmy nomination for “The Greatest Night In Pop.” He went on to say, “Working with Netflix to recreate this historical moment has been an immense pleasure. A heartfelt appreciation and congratulations go out to every artist and participant involved in making ‘We Are The World’ a reality. And I’d like to extend my gratitude to the Television Academy for bestowing this recognition upon us.”

The director expressed great joy over the Emmy nomination for “Red, White, and Royal Blue.” This achievement is a testament to the dedication and skills of the entire team involved in its creation. With care and passion, we brought this novel adaptation to life, and I’m deeply thankful for the love and recognition it has received in return.

I’m absolutely ecstatic and can hardly contain my excitement as I get to express my heartfelt gratitude in the first person! It’s an absolute privilege for us, your dedicated team of producers, to pen these words. We’re humbly sharing this moment with Jen, Courtenay, Julie, Sue, Brianna, and every single amazing individual at Amazon. Casey McQuiston crafted a book that ignited the imagination of readers worldwide, leaving us utterly captivated.
