Hollywood professionals love to reward each other as shown by all the ceremonies that are held these days, whether they are for directors, producers, editors, screenwriters or, as the case that affects us, the actors. The union in which more than 116,000 performers are registered decided to award statuettes to the best performed series and, to no one’s surprise, these were The White Lotus and Abbott College, for best dramatic and comedy series respectively.
The passage of The White Lotus through the award ceremonies is being a path of flowers. If the first season of Mike White’s series won the Emmy for best miniseries, script and direction, as well as statuettes for Jennifer Coolidge and Murray Bartlett as supporting roles, and the second season won the Golden Globes for miniseries and supporting actress for Coolidge, now the powerful cast of the season set in Sicily, was also recognized by his own peers.
In fact, the award is shared among all the actors in this ensemble cast: F. Murray Abraham, Paolo Camilli, Jennifer Coolidge, Adam DiMarco, Meghann Fahy, Federico Ferrante, Bruno Gouery, Beatrice Grannò, Jon Gries, Tom Hollander, Sabrina Impacciatore, Michael Imperioli, Theo James, Aubrey Plaza, Haley Lu Richardson, Eleonora Romandini, Federico Scribani, Will Sharpe, Simona Tabasco, Leo Woodall, and Francesco Zecca. The HBO series beat Better call Saul, The Crown, Ozark and Severance.
Abbott College, which broadcasts Disney, also had a good experience at the Emmys with awards for Brunson as a screenwriter, Sheryl Lee Ralph as secondary and Golden Globes for the series as best comedy and Tyler James Williams as secondary, now he consolidated his career with the statuette for the best comedy cast on television. The actors who share the recognition? Quinta Brunson, William Stanford Davis, Janelle James, Chris Perfetti, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Lisa Ann Walter, and Tyler James Williams, who defeated the deals of Barry, The Bear, Hacks, and Only Murders in the Building.
In the individual categories, Jennifer Coolidge continued her dominance at the awards galas with the SAG for Best Performance by a Female in a Drama for the role of Tanya McQuoyd, a wealthy widow who spends her days from luxury hotel to luxury hotel. In the male category, Jason Bateman won for his work on the final season of Ozark (Netflix), where he plays Marty Byrde, family man and professional money launderer.
In comedy, Jeremy Allen White and Jean Smart took the statuettes for The bear (Disney) and Hacks (HBO Max) respectively. In the miniseries performance categories, Sam Elliott won the admiration of his peers for his performance in 1883 (SkyShowtime) while Jessica Chastain triumphed for playing country artist Tammy Wynette in George and Tammy, a miniseries still unpublished in Spain.
