On Emmy nominations day, each of dozens of actors is being recognized for a performance on a series from the past year. Selected few are celebrating two Emmy-nominated roles.
Leading the pack is Melanie Lynskey, a second-time Lead Actress In a Drama Series nominee for playing Shauna Sadecki on Yellowjackets, who also landed a Guest Actress In a Drama Series nom for her arc as ruthless resistance leader Kathleen on The Last Of Us.
Murray Bartlett quickly is becoming an Emmy darling. After years of flying largely under the radar, the Australian actor became a household name with his role on the first season of The White Lotus which landed him his first Emmy nomination and first win in 2022.
A year later, he is back with two Emmy nominations, as Supporting Actor In A Limited Or Anthology Series Or Movie for his role as Nick De Noia in Welcome To Chippendales, and as Guest Actor In a Drama Series for playing Frank opposite fellow Emmy nominee Nick Offerman on The Last Of Us.
