Emmys: Catherine O’Hara & Julianne Nicholson Score Double Acting Nominations

Catherine O’Hara and Julianne Nicholson showed off their acting prowess, not only landing two nominations each at the 2025 Emmys but both doing it across different genres — for light comedic and dark dramatic turns.

O’Hara is nominated in the Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series category for playing ousted studio executive Parry Leigh in Apple TV+’s The Studio and in the Guest Actress For A Drama Series field for her role as therapist Gail Lynden, who is mourning her husband, on HBO’s The Last Of Us.

In a reverse order, Nicholson is nominated as Supporting Actress In a Drama Series for her villainous mastermind character Sinatra in Hulu’s Paradise and as Guest Actress In A Comedy Series for her zany Dance Mom on HBO Max’s Hacks.

These are acting Emmy noms #4 and #5 for O’Hara; she won in 2020 for Schitt’s Creek. For Nicholson, these are second and third Emmy noms; she converted her first one for Mare of Easttown into a win.
