The Television Academy overlooked their talent, failing to acknowledge their remarkable contributions to the series.
Ford’s Double Snub
Harrison Ford’s absence from the Emmy nominations didn’t end with “1923.” Even his comedic performance in the series “Shrinking” went unnoticed, while his co-stars Jason Segel and Jessica Williams received well-deserved nominations.

Steve Martin and Selena Gomez Overlooked
Even the iconic Steve Martin didn’t escape the snubs. His work on the comedy series “Only Murders in the Building” failed to garner a nomination, along with his co-star, the versatile Selena Gomez. However, Martin Short‘s nomination for lead actor in a comedy series provided a silver lining for the show’s cast.
