What happened
The Studio, an Apple TV comedy series, emerged as the most-nominated television show at the 32nd Annual Actor Awards, collecting five acting nods in total. The program secured two nominations in the Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series category (Ike Barinholtz and Seth Rogen) and two in the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series category (Kathryn Hahn and Catherine O’Hara). In addition, The Studio was named among the nominees for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series alongside Abbott Elementary, The Bear, Hacks and Only Murders in the Building. The Actor Awards is the rebranded name for the SAG-AFTRA awards, a peer-driven ceremony in which performers honor fellow actors. The nominations were announced ahead of the Golden Globes weekend; the Actor Awards ceremony is scheduled to air live on Netflix in March. Apple also had other acting nominees across its slate, including Rhea Seehorn for Pluribus and Gary Oldman for Slow Horses.
Why it matters
