Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph Acting Show at 92nd OSCARS Academy Awards [1080p]
Jennifer Aniston, trendsetter! After six comedy acting Emmy nominations and one win — five for “Friends” and one for a guest role on “30 Rock” — Aniston was finally being recognized for something other than the laughs she created as Rachel Green. In early 2020, she broke into the drama acting race with her serious(er) role as TV host Alex Levy on Apple TV+’s “The Morning Show.”
She has been nominated again for the role and is one of several actresses typically known for their comedy roles who are in contention for the drama race.
Maya Erskine earned her third Emmy nomination this year, her first in the drama race, for her leading role as Jane Smith in the Amazon Prime Video adaptation of “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.” Erskine’s first two nominations came for “PEN15,” the Hulu comedy she co-created, wrote and starred in for two seasons.
