A new round of winners will be presented today, and once again The Bear is a keen front-runner with 23 nominations - but two Kiwi-created shows also landed top nominations.
Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi’s TV show What We Do in the Shadowsis nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series, and the show’s lead actor, Matt Berry, has earned a nod for Outstanding Actor. Kiwis may remember the show as a movie when it was released in 2014; however, Clement and Waititi adapted the script in 2019 and brought it to the small screen in the US.
Waititi and Sterlin Harjo’s Reservation Dogsis also nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series and its star D’Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai for Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series.
In the Drama category, FX’s Shōgun may only have one season, but it’s already making its mark in the industry, leading the way with 25 nominations.
Father-son duo Eugene Levy and Dan Levy, who starred on Schitt’s Creek together, are set to host, with Martin Short, Mindy Kaling, Lily Gladstone, Colin Farrell, Selena Gomez, Dick Van Dyke and Greta Lee among the celebrities presenting the awards today. Olympic medalists Caeleb Dressel and Ilona Maher are also set to appear.
