“We are overwhelmed that our TV Academy music peers could hear some treasure in our “trash”. The final season of Maisel was about finding the Susie to your Midge, someone who believes in you and pushes you to be your best. We are so lucky to have had so many Susie’s believing in us (and dropping f-bombs), from the rockstar music team of Robin Urdang, Stewart Lerman, and Matt Shapiro, to the superstar choreographer Marguerite Derricks and our singing/dancing garbage men Jake, Phillip, RJ, and Tommy. But most of all, to the genius, hysterical, and kind Amy and Dan: we’d follow them anywhere, even to a post-apocalyptic trash dump in Jersey. Hoboken!”
–Tom Mizer & Curtis Moore, Outstanding Music & Lyrics nominee for “Your Personal Trash Can Man” for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

“We are grateful to everyone involved with Ginny and Georgia, a show that has performed beyond everyone’s expectations and resonated with so many people in its authenticity and playfulness.  With “Marriage is a Dungeon!” we loved being able to echo heavier themes in the show with a darkly funny earworm. We share this recognition with all the writers who make Ginny and Georgia the great show that is, and we congratulate the distinguished composers, songwriters, music directors and music supervisors on their nominations.”
–Lili Hayden & Ben Bromfield, Outstanding Music & Lyrics nominee for “Marriage is a Dungeon” for Ginny & Georgia

“I was (and still am) in absolute shock this morning to find out that I have been nominated for an Emmy!  I am so, so grateful to have had the opportunity to be a part of “Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities”.  It was literally a dream come true for me and the dream just keeps on going!  I would like to thank Guillermo and the wonderful music team at Netflix for taking a chance on me and giving me this amazing opportunity!”
–Holly Amber Church, Outstanding Main Title Theme Music nominee for Guillermo Del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities

“I am honored to be recognized by The Academy, but even more pleased to see how many of our brilliant cast and crew were nominated for their work on The Last of Us. That said, my priority right now is to see the day when all entertainment industry artists and craftspeople are treated fairly by the companies who convert our work into their profits. Working within the union rules, I intend to focus any promotional efforts on supporting the nominated crew of The Last of Us. Our industry’s crewpeople are just as impacted by this necessary labor action; showing them our enthusiasm and love is more important now than ever.”
–Craig Mazin, Outstanding Writing For A Drama Series nominee and Outstanding Drama Series nominee for The Last of Us

“It’s been two months since I’ve cracked open this laptop so forgive me if I drift into cliché, but 8 nominations? I’m thrilled. Obviously, some big thanks are in order – first of all to the voters and audience who picked up on our show and have made the past 10 months the most affirming I can remember. Thanks to our entire ANDOR community – and it’s a big one – for bringing this thing alive, keeping it rolling through COVID, and challenging each other to reach every day for something special. Congrats to all our nominees. I’d be remiss to not include a final shout out to the WGA and SAG for standing firm and making such huge sacrifices to preserve our incredible industry.”
–Tony Gilroy, Outstanding Drama Series nominee for Andor

“It’s thrilling to see Andor receive so many nominations from the Television Academy. I’m grateful and honored to be part of the team that Tony Gilroy assembled. He had such a strong vision for the series and hundreds of talented people worked tirelessly to bring the scripts to life. All of us are indebted to the fans who have been so supportive of us trying to do something different within such a beloved franchise. I’d also like to acknowledge that while it’s wonderful to celebrate the value of writers, 11,000 of us are currently on strike to protect the value of every writer on every show, and winning that struggle is the most important prize of all.”
–Beau Willimon, Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series nominee for Andor

We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to adapt the original essays from The New York Times Magazine and the book into a medium that is accessible for all. We could not have done this without the tremendous work of those both in front of and behind the camera, as well as all the everyday extraordinary Americans whose stories we tell.

We feel honored to be able to share these stories that reframe our understanding of America and place Black Americans and their struggles for freedom at the very center of our national narrative. To be acknowledged with an Emmy nomination for this series is a testament to the enduring importance of its core themes, and a reminder to us all of the work left to be done.”

“It’s a great honor to receive this recognition from the Television Academy and from our peers. We will never work on a more difficult – or more important – film than The U.S. and the Holocaust. Exploring the complexity of America’s response to one of the greatest humanitarian crises in history has been painful and revelatory, and we have been humbled by the public response to the film, but also troubled by its timeliness and relevance to today.

Creating The U.S. and the Holocaust was a massive undertaking, particularly during the pandemic, and we are so grateful for our wonderful team and their tireless work on this film including producer Mike Welt and writer Geoffrey Ward who also received nominations today, the incredible and truly talented editors Tricia Reidy and Chase Horton, along with the many crewmembers based here and in Poland. We also want to express our gratitude to The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum for their support, along with the advisors and historians who guided us in trying to get the story right – and especially to the witnesses and survivors, whose first-person accounts are the heart and soul of this film.”
–Ken Burns, Lynn Novick & Sarah Botstein, Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series nominee for The U.S. and the Holocaust

“Thank you to the Television Academy! I am honored to be nominated alongside these talented actors. This recognition is incredibly profound and deeply affirming. A special thank you to my much loved partner in crime Rian Johnson for your brilliant vision of Poker Face, creating our Charlie Cale together and bringing her to life. I am so proud to produce and be a part of this series and thrilled to be on this ride with so many of the greats. We have an incredible crew and lineup of guest stars (including the Emmy-nominated and luminescent Judith Light!) that makes the impossible somehow a reality each week. Special shout-out to our beloved production designer Judy Rhee and her team on their nomination and to Tom Place and Becca GT for keeping us safe through all of our stunts! Thank you to Peacock for your support of our show. None of this could have happened without our writers, who we stand in solidarity with. Our creator: Rian Johnson. Showrunners: Lilla and Nora Zuckerman and the rest of our awesome writing team: Christine Boylan, Joe Lawson, Chris Downey, Wyatt Cain, Charlie Peppers and Alice Ju.”

“After 20 years of Queer Eye, we’re honored to continue to be recognized for this work. It’s truly an incredible honor and a testament to the series’ lasting influence. When we launched the series, we never could have imagined the impact it would have globally. That it still so deeply resonates with viewers today is  incredibly humbling. We are grateful to the Television Academy for this incredible recognition and to our dedicated fans who have been with us on this journey from the beginning.”

“Six Emmy nominations for Queer Eye two decades after its inception, is nothing short of fabulous (pun intended). It’s a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the dedication of our incredible team, the Fab 5, our heroes and everyone behind the scenes. This recognition from the Television Academy is humbling. We’re reminded year after year why we love what we do. We are deeply grateful for these nominations and the continued support from our passionate audience.”
