Harrison Ford Lands First-Ever Emmy Nomination For ‘Shrinking’

Harrison Ford is finally an Emmy nominee.

The superstar landed his first nomination on Tuesday for his role as therapist Dr. Paul Rhoades in Shrinking, in the category of best supporting actor in a comedy series. He is nominated alongside Shrinking co-star Michael Urie as well as Ike Barinholtz (The Studio), Colman Domingo (The Four Seasons), Jeff Hiller (Somebody Somewhere), Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Bear) and Bowen Yang (Saturday Night Live).

Ford — also in the awards race this year for his role in Taylor Sheridan drama 1923 — was previously considered majorly snubbed after not being recognized for the first seasons of Shrinking and 1923, but season two of the Apple TV+ comedy finally made it happen. The 83-year-old was nominated for a Golden Globe, SAG Award and Critics Choice Award for the show’s first season as well.

Shrinking is coming into this year’s ceremony with an impressive nominations haul, as star Jason Segel landed a nod for lead actor in a comedy series and Jessica Williams is up for supporting actress in a comedy series. The show is also nominated for outstanding comedy series opposite Abbott Elementary, The Bear, Hacks, Nobody Wants This, Only Murders in the Building, The Studio and What We Do in the Shadows.

Nominations for the 77th Emmy Awards were announced via livestream by Harvey Guillén and Brenda Song; winners will be presented at the Emmys primetime ceremony hosted by Nate Bargatze and broadcast live Sunday, Sept. 14, on the CBS Television Network and available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+.
