In September 2021, Olivia Colman bagged her first career Emmy for “The Crown” despite having failed on her Oscar bid for “The Father” five months earlier. This made her the 16th performer to triumph at the Emmys after going home empty-handed at the same year’s Oscars and the fourth to do so during the 21st century. The release of the 2024 Emmy nominations ballots confirmed that nine of the 16 actors who lost at the latest Oscars ceremony are capable of joining Colman on said list.
Gold Derby’s current Emmy odds indicate that the man and woman with the best hopes of following in Colman’s footsteps are Ryan Gosling and Jodie Foster, who just earned their respective third and fifth Academy Award notices for their supporting turns in “Barbie” and “Nyad.” They are now generally expected to share in the experience of being first-time acting Emmy nominees thanks to his...

Years before Burgess Meredith took on his most well-known role as Mickey Goldmill in 1976’s “Rocky” and three of its sequels, he made plenty of strong impressions on the small screen. The prolific character actor appeared on many TV programs while maintaining his film career, most notably as an unlucky bookworm on “The Twilight Zone” and as the villainous Penguin on “Batman.” After 28 years, he was finally recognized by Emmy voters with an award for his supporting turn in the 1977 movie “Tail Gunner Joe.”
