Variety • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Brittany Allen and Jeff Kober, guest actors on HBO Max’s "The Pitt," self-submitted their performances for Emmy consideration after being excluded from the network’s official submissions, resulting in their nominations in guest acting categories.
- Allen, nominated for guest drama actress as Roxy, a terminal cancer patient, credits the nomination with transforming her career prospects and emphasizes persistence despite industry rejections.
- Kober, nominated for guest drama actor as Duke, a zen biker, has a 40-year career and previously won a Daytime Emmy through self-submission; he approached the nomination with calm and values the recognition of his work.
- Their self-submissions added two nominations to "The Pitt," which now leads the Emmy field with 25 nominations, nearly doubling its total from the previous year and surpassing HBO Max’s "Hacks."
- Final Emmy voting occurs in August, with the Creative Arts Emmy Awards and Governors Gala in early September and the Primetime Emmy Awards airing on September 14 on NBC.
