Harrison Ford Is Officially a First-Time Emmy Nominee

Harrison Ford received his first Emmy nomination today, with the 83-year-old actor earning a look for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy for his performance in Shrinking. 

Ford has earned rave reviews for his work in the AppleTV+ show, in which he plays Dr. Paul Rhoades, a veteran therapist who’s also navigating the early stage of Parkinson’s disease. In the Outstanding Supporting Actor category, he’ll compete against his Shrinking castmate Michael Urie, as well as Ike Barinholtz for The Studio, Colman Domingo for The Four Seasons, Jeff Hiller for Somebody Somewhere, and last year’s winner Ebon Moss-Bachrach for The Bear.

Shrinking earned seven Emmy nominations total for its second Season, including Outstanding Comedy Series. Along with the acting nods for Ford and Urie, Jason Segel and Jessica Williams were also nominated for their performances.

Prior to receiving his Emmy nomination for Shrinking, Ford earned recognition from the Golden Globes, with a Best Supporting Actor nod last year. He also received nominations at the Screen Actors Guild Awards and the Critics’ Choice Television Awards.

While this is Ford’s first Emmy nomination, it’s not like he’s had many opportunities to earn them: One of the biggest movie stars of the last 50 years was, after all, a bit too busy making movies. Early in Ford’s career, during the late Sixties and early Seventies, he starred in several made-for-TV movies and popped up in various shows, but never had a main cast role. Only recently has Ford started working more in television, with the actor starring in the Yellowstone prequel, 1923, along with his work on Shrinking.
