- Harrison Ford earned his first‑ever Emmy nomination for supporting actor for Apple TV’s ‘Shrinking,’ making him the second‑oldest nominee in the category’s history after Alan Arkin.
- Shrinking Season 3 holds a 91 % rating on Rotten Tomatoes, indicating strong critical reception.
- Apple TV will submit ‘Shrinking’ in 19 Emmy categories this year, covering acting, directing, writing, and numerous technical fields.
- Shrinking debuted in 2023 with only two Emmy nominations (lead actor Jason Segel, supporting actress Jessica Williams) and expanded to eight nominations in its second season, including Ford’s.
- Ford’s performance in the series finale ‘And That’s Our Time!’ is praised for its restraint, vulnerability, and timing, showcasing his emotional precision.
- Harrison Ford’s career accolades include an Oscar nomination for ‘Witness’ (1985), the AFI Life Achievement Award, the Cecil B. DeMille Award, and a recent SAG Life Achievement honor.
Why it matters: Ford’s nomination underscores the Television Academy’s willingness to honor late‑career talent, giving Apple TV a marquee contender and raising the bar for the supporting‑actor field where seasoned performers like Jeff Hiller have previously prevailed. It also underscores the series’ dramatic evolution, with its third season earning a 91% Rotten Tomatoes rating, reinforcing Apple’s push for Emmy dominance.
