‘The Studio’ acting Emmy submissions revealed — including guest stars Martin Scorsese, Sarah Polley, and Bryan Cranston

Apple TV+ has revealed its Emmy acting submissions for its breakout comedy series The Studio, including its lengthy list of guest actors.

As expected, the show’s only lead acting submission is star Seth Rogen, who plays the newly hired head of the fictional Continental Studios in the Hollywood satire.

The show’s other main cast members will run in the supporting categories: Ike Barinholtz and Dewayne Perkins in Best Comedy Supporting Actor, and Kathryn Hahn, Keyla Monterroso Mejia, Catherine O’Hara, and Chase Sui Wonders in Best Comedy Supporting Actress.

Cocreated by Rogen and Evan Goldberg, as well as Peter Huyck and Alex Gregory (Veep) and Frida Perez, The Studio’s first season tracks Matt’s ups and downs on the job, including having to tell Martin Scorsese (as himself) that his planned movie about Jonestown was being scrapped. Significant Hollywood filmmakers play themselves in the series, including Scorsese, Sarah Polley, Ron Howard, Nicholas Stoller, Zoë Kravitz, and Olivia Wilde. All those directors will be submitted on the Emmys ballot for guest consideration for The Studio alongside actors Anthony Mackie, Zac Efron, Dave Franco, and Greta Lee, who also play themselves.

Other guest submissions for The Studio include real actors playing fictional characters: Bryan Cranston (who plays Griffin Mill, the CEO of Continental Studios), David Krumholtz (who plays a foul-mouthed agent), and Rebecca Hall (who plays a successful doctor who embarks on a failed relationship with Matt). The final guest-acting submission for Apple is journalist Matt Belloni. The Puck cofounder and The Town podcast host appears in multiple episodes of The Studio, both as a voice performer (through a fictional episode of his podcast) and live-action actor (on the casino floor during CinemaCon).

These are just the names Apple is submitting on the Emmy ballot; anyone else, perhaps guest stars Parker Finn or Adam Scott, can submit on their own.

Apple TV+ recently renewed The Studio for Season 2. The show’s first season ends later this month.
