Sarah Snook scores two Emmy nominations as one acting couple celebrates five nods

Sarah Snook scored two nominations for drama All Her Fault, as the nominees for the 78th annual Emmy Awards were announced on Thursday morning AEST.

The Australian actress will go up against Claire Danes, Sally Field, Carey Mulligan and Sarah Pidgeon in the Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie category.

Snook nabbed her second nomination as a producer of the miniseries, which scored an Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series or Movie nod.

It’s her fifth nomination in total, to go with her win for her role as Shiv Roy in TV hit Succession.

Australian actress Nicole Kidman scored a nomination as an executive producer of comedy series Margo’s Got Money Troubles but didn’t secure an acting nod like her co-stars and fellow producers Elle Fanning and Michelle Pfeiffer.

Elle’s sister, Dakota Fanning, also scored a nod as producer on Margo’s Got Money Troubles as well as for Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie in Snook’s All Her Fault.

But there’s one Hollywood couple celebrating big time with five nominations between the two of them - Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell.

Rhys was nominated in the Lead Actor in a Comedy Series category for his role in Widow’s Bay, as well as two nominations for thriller The Beast In Me.

The Beast In Me gave Rhys a producer nomination in the Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series or Movie category, as well as Lead Actor.

His wife scored two nominations, with Russell recognised both as Lead Actress in a Drama Series for The Diplomat and as a producer on the show, which scored its own nomination.

Two-time Emmy winner Zendaya scored another nomination in the Lead Actress category for her role in drama series Euphoria.

It seemed to be the year of the slashie, with a number of actors recognised in multiple categories for their producing, writing and directing work in the TV-focused awards show.

Jason Bateman scored four nominations, including for his performance and directing of drama miniseries Black Rabbit, as well as acting and producing dark comedy DTF St. Louis.

Lily Allen’s ex-husband David Harbour also got nominated for acting and producing in DTF St. Louis, which launched very soon after Allen’s scathing West End Girl album was released, alleging infidelity throughout their marriage.

Abbott Elementary’s Quinta Brunson scored three nods for acting, writing and producing the comedy series.

Noah Wyle was also recognised three times – acting, directing and producing – for medical dram The Pitt, which leads the pack with 25 nominations in total.

However, Australian actress in the series Shabana Azeezmissed out on an individual nod.

Hacks scored the most comedy nominations with 24 in total.

Two Aussies have been nominated in the Outstanding Animated Program category, with Michael Cusack recognised for Smiling Friends and Bernard Derriman for Bob’s Burgers.

Love on the Spectrum scored five nominations for Cian O’Clery including Directing, Casting, Picture Editing, Cinematography and Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program as part of the Northern Pictures production team.

Aussie cinematograph Geoff Thomas also scored a nomination for his work on Love on the Spectrum.

The winners will be announced on September 14 (September 15 AEST) at the Peacock Theatre in LA, with Emmy Award-winning actress Mariska Hargitay hosting - the first female host in 15 years, since Jane Lynch in 2011.

Hargitay is herself a nominee in the Outstanding Directing for a Documentary/Nonfiction Program category for her doco My Mom Jayne.
