Until the 2024 Emmy nominations were announced, the last time an Oscar-winning actress had earned TV academy recognition for a guest appearance on a comedy series was 2019, when Emma Thompson (“Saturday Night Live”) battled eventual victor Jane Lynch (“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”). Among those in the running for the next Best Comedy Guest Actress trophy are Academy Award recipients Olivia Colman (“The Bear”), Jamie Lee Curtis (“The Bear”), and Da’Vine Joy Randolph (“Only Murders in the Building”), all of whom further stand out from their remaining three competitors in that they are new to the category.
Said three Oscar winners are faced with the daunting challenge of defeating Emmy darling Maya Rudolph, who is seeking her third guest victory for “Saturday Night Live” following triumphs in 2020 and 2021. Also in the mix are veteran nominees Kaitlin Olson (“Hacks”) and Kristen Wiig (“Saturday Night Live”), the latter of whom lost to Rudolph three years ago.

Because no ‘80s movie is immune to the Hollywood reboot trend (a $20 million-per-episode prestige TV remake of Weird Science will surely happen any day now), we’re now getting a new version of The ‘Burbs, the 1989 Tom Hanks comedy about a gang of middle-class suburbanites who begin to suspect that their new “Slavic” neighbors are murderous Satanic cultists.
Play
As we’ve pointed out before, The ‘Burbs has arguably never been more relevant, coming at a time when conspiracy theories are as rampant as ever, and American xenophobia has been cranked up to 11. And while the original was clearly riffing on the “Satanic Panic” paranoia of the 1980s, we’re currently living at a time when everything from Taylor Swift concerts to restaurants at Disney World have been accused of promoting demonic messaging.
At least people seem to have backed off from the idea that He-Man toys and Smurf dolls are the handiwork of Lucifer.

Keke Palmer is heading to The Burbs as Peacock is adapting the beloved cult movie! Here's what we know! TV adaptations of movie comedies have been a staple for the business for decades. Most of the time, they go for famous films to try and bring that spirit to TV. There's also been some sequel series to past films and it's good to see TV work these films into a series, often successful.
Peacock, in particular, has been doing this with the Ted series based on the Seth McFarlane films. That's with the sequel series to Saved By the Bell and Punky Brewster and Bel-Air, a darker reboot of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Now, Peacock is getting into it again with plans to adapt the 1989 film The Burbs.
With the show just announced, and no other cast added yet, it's unlikely filming will begin before the end of 2024. It's...

Remember the 1989 black comedy film The 'Burbs starring Tom Hanks and Carrie Fisher? Well, Peacock just announced that they will be creating a television version of the film starring Emmy-winning actress Keke Palmer, who will also executive produce!
Palmer is a great actress, and it's cool to see her veering more toward genre spaces. She delivered a phenomenal performance in Jordan Peele's Nope. I'm eager to see what she brings to the table here.
The 'Burbs has received a straight-to-series order from the streaming service, meaning we can expect development to start soon. Brian Grazer (who produced the 1989 movie) and Seth McFarlane (Ted) will team up on the series reimagining, which comes from UCP, Imagine Entertainment, and Fuzzy Door. Celeste Hughey is set to write and executive produce.
Per the press release, The 'Burbs takes place in "present-day suburbia" and revolves around a cul-de-sac where new neighbors disrupt the regular way of life,...

Joe Dante’s dark comedy favorite The ‘Burbs is headed to the small screen with a TV series adaptation for Peacock, and Keke Palmer (Nope) has been set to star in the series.
Variety reports that The ‘Burbs has been ordered straight-to-series by Peacock. Celeste Hughey is adapting Dante’s film for television.
Here’s a particularly cool bit from the website’s report: “The series will film on the Universal Studios backlot, just like the movie.” The show’s official synopsis previews…
“Set in present-day suburbia, The ‘Burbs follows a young couple returning to the husband’s childhood home.
“Their world is upended when new neighbors move in next door, bringing old secrets of the cul-de-sac to light, and new deadly threats shatter the illusion of their quiet little neighborhood.”
Seth MacFarlane will executive produce, along with Brian Grazer of Imagine Entertainment.

Keke Palmer is set to star in a TV adaptation of the dark comedy film “The ‘Burbs,” which has been ordered straight-to-series at Peacock.
Celeste Hughey will adapt the film for television. Seth MacFarlane is set to executive produce, as will Brian Grazer of Imagine Entertainment, with Imagine having produced the film. Dana Olsen, who wrote the film, will co-executive produce.
The series will film on the Universal Studios backlot, just like the movie. Released in 1989, “The ‘Burbs” starred Tom Hanks, Carrie Fisher, Bruce Dern, Rick Ducommun, and Corey Feldman. In the film, the residents of a suburban neighborhood suspect their new neighbors are ritualistic murderers. Produced by Universal Pictures, the film grossed just over $49 million against a reported budget of $18 million. It is now considered a cult classic.
The official logline for the series states, “Set in present-day suburbia, ‘The ‘Burbs’ follows a young couple returning to the husband’s childhood home.

Editor’s note: This post contains big spoilers for the end of the first season of Netflix’s “The Diplomat.”
For fans of “The Diplomat,” one mystery is officially solved.
Netflix released the first teaser for the political thriller starring Emmy nominee Keri Russell as U.S. ambassador to London Kate Wyler. “The Diplomat” Season 2 teaser reveals the fate of her husband, Hal (Rufus Sewell): He’s apparently alive following a massive car bombing in the final seconds of Season 1.
The wordless Season 2 teaser trailer shows Kate and Hal arm in arm at some kind of fancy event, clearly them against the world now that Kate knows that the shocking terror attack came from inside the British government at the highest levels. Additionally, viewers can assume that Kate — who was ready to divorce fellow career diplomat Hal by the end of Season 1 — is likely thinking about her marriage differently...

The competition is hot and heavy this year for the Emmy for guest actor and actress in a comedy series. Will Maya Rudolph win her third Emmy in this category for NBC’s “Saturday Night Live?” Or will Jamie Lee Curtis win her first Emmy for her powerful turn in “The Fishes” episode of FX’s “The Bear”? Veteran Christopher Lloyd is looking to receive his first Emmy in 32 years for his role as Larry Arbuckle on Max’ “Hacks.” While Bob Odenkirk, who won two writing Emmys over 30 years ago, may finally earn one for acting as Uncle Lee on FX’s “The Bear.”

Following weeks of rumors, the Friday, August 30 episode saw what is likely the end of the road for actor Adam J. Harrington on ABC’s “General Hospital” after his character, John “Jagger” Cates, was killed off.
During a face-off with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), John confronts the mobster, telling him he should turn himself in by confessing to his crimes. Unfortunately for the FBI agent, Sonny had the upper hand, informing John that he made a mistake by going after his family, something the coffee importer/exporter had warned him about previously. In the end, Sonny shoots two bullets into John as the rain pours down over them.
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) after his final episode aired, Harrington seemingly addressed his exit, captioning the post, “Good night all……” The post was accompanied by a photograph of a sunset. Separately, in a post on his Instagram story timeline,...

In 2015, “Game of Thrones” set a record for winning the most Primetime Emmy Awards for a drama series in a single year, with 12. The HBO juggernaut was able to repeat that feat in 2016 and 2019, but was never able to win more than a dozen trophies in one season. This year, a brand new series from FX looks poised to break that record, as “Shōgun” leads all contenders with 25 nominations.
"Shōgun,” based on James Clavell’s bestselling novel, is set in Japan in the year 1600, at the dawn of a century-defining civil war. Lord Yoshii Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada) is fighting for his life as his enemies on the Council of Regents unite against him, when a mysterious European ship is found marooned in a nearby fishing village. The FX series created by Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks premiered on February 27, 2024 and the season finale aired April 23, 2024. It is currently available to stream on Hulu.

I have always said that Apple TV+ is tiny, but mighty when it comes to its programming. Even though it doesn’t have a menu of show (or movie) options as large as other streamers, such as Netflix oder Hulu, it’s quality over quantity for us here at Show Snob. That said, Apple TV+ is not a service you want to sleep on.
If you don’t currently have an Apple TV+ subscription, you’re missing out on great quality TV! I’m talking clever writing, engaging stories, and brilliant talent. But make no mistake, no platform is perfect, Apple TV+ does have a show we would rather skip.
Shows like Presumed Innocent and Bad Monkey need to be on your to-watch list if they aren’t already. But the series Palm Royale, for example? You can go ahead and hit skip on that! Need more suggestions? We’ve got your back!

Unless you’ve been living on a secluded island or Amish country, adaptations of novels to screen is not a new concept to you.
It’s become one of the most common formulas for creating movies and TV shows.
From Netflix to Amazon, everyone wants a piece of the action.

While not every project is a knockout, audiences have seen some successful franchises flourish from this method.
Just off the top of my head are the Harry Potter movies, Twilight, Hunger Games, 50 Shades of Grey, and even the Bridget Jones movies.
And it’s not just the big screen. TV saw the opportunity and jumped on board with shows like The Vampire Diaries, Game of Thrones, Percy Jackson, and The Witcher.

Just as we did with our survey of Emmy-nominated editors, the IndieWire Craft team has taken the excuse of the Emmy voting period to reach out to the production designers nominated for their work on narrative series under an hour, hourlong contemporary, period, or fantasy series, and single-camera and multi-camera comedy series. Production design provides a great deal of any show’s visual worldbuilding, which is why the awards categories are divided not just by format but by setting, too. But regardless of whether they’re trying to make a seamless approximation of contemporary life or transport viewers to a heightened reality, there are similar demands on production designers and art teams to construct, decorate, and stage everything the characters move through.
We asked the Emmy nominees for production design about lessons they learned from their early work that they’ve taken onto the projects they’re now nominated for.

We have some serious Hollywood legends in the running for Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series at this year’s Emmys — but don’t count out the newcomers just yet.
With last year’s winner, The Bear’s Ayo Edebiri, moving up to lead actress this year, we’ll see a new champ in this category, and we have to start with a pair of acting icons. Meryl Streep is nominated for playing late-bloomer actress Loretta Durkin on Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building, and she already has three Emmys on her mantel to go along with her three Oscars.

Larry David is no stranger to the Emmy Awards. He has been nominated a whopping 31 times now throughout his career, winning twice for writing and producing “Seinfeld” in 1993. Now that “Curb Your Enthusiasm” has wrapped up for good, it’s the last chance for David to finally win an Emmy Award for the long-running HBO comedy series. But what are his chances?
The funnyman received a pair of farewell nominations this year, for Best Comedy Actor and Best Comedy Series. This marks David’s seventh acting bid for playing a fictionalized version of himself, and he’s lost to some truly iconic TV stars over the years: Tony Shalhoub for “Monk” (2003 and ’06), Kelsey Grammer for “Frasier” (2004), Jim Parsons for “The Big Bang Theory” (2010), Jon Cryer for “Two and a Half Men” (2012), and Bill Hader for “Barry” (2018).

For Palm Royale makeup and hair department heads Tricia Sawyer and Karen Bartek, Slim Aarons’ 1960s photography served as the biggest inspiration for nailing the looks of a cast that includes Kristen Wiig, Allison Janney, Laura Dern, Carol Burnett, Ricky Martin and Leslie Bibb.
“Aarons really captured the essence of Palm Beach in that time period,” Sawyer tells THR. “He has several books that I referred to daily. There are also some videos online of Palm Beach society women of the period that were helpful.”
Palm Royale follows Wiig’s Maxine Dellacorte-Simmons, an outsider who strives to attain a place in Palm Beach’s high society. Almost every actor in the series, which has been renewed for a second season, references the hair or makeup of a famous actress or icon of the era, explains Bartek.

A mix of seasoned veterans and fresh-faced newcomers are vying to win the Emmy for Lead Actress in a Comedy this year; it’s almost a shame only one of them can win.
This year’s six nominees include the last two winners: Jean Smart, who has won twice before for her work as stand-up comic Deborah Vance on Max’s Hacks; and reigning champ Quinta Brunson, earning her third nod as levelheaded teacher Janine Teagues on ABC’s Abbott Elementary. They’ll face a strong challenge, though, from The Bear’s Ayo Edebiri, who won in the supporting category...

It’s nearly time to place your bets as the Entertainment Community Fund is readying its second annual Lights! Camera! Ante Up! Celebrity Poker Tournament.
Scheduled to take place at Candela La Brea in Los Angeles on Sept. 8, the event will feature Annette Bening as chair and Joely Fisher as co-chair. The role is not new for Bening, who also serves as Ecf’s chair. She assumed the position last summer, taking over from Brian Stokes Mitchell who served the organization for 19 years. The poker tournament is designed to raise awareness for and benefit Ecf, with proceeds supporting professionals working in performing arts and entertainment. Last year’s inaugural edition raised north of $170,000.
Among the confirmed players for this second annual event are Reggie Austin (Pretty Little Liars, Agent Carter), William Stanford Davis (Abbott Elementary, Ray Donovan), Alexis Floyd (Inventing Anna, Grey’s Anatomy), Lilli Kay (Rustin, Yellowstone), Mekhi Phifer (ER,...

The creative minds behind some of this year’s Emmy-nominated comedy series give insight into the process and share secrets behind their highly lauded seasons.
Abbott Elementary
In Abbott Elementary’s third season, series creator Quinta Brunson and her writers room were handed a challenge: Tell a thorough, engrossing story in eight fewer episodes than usual. The ABC comedy, which typically runs 22 half-hour blocks, was truncated as a result of the writers and actors strikes (the February premiere timing also conflicted with the series’ history of following the school year in real time). “I knew right away I didn’t want to hold anything for season four, and that I wanted to protect the finale ending we had planned,” says Brunson. She used the opportunity to try out a time jump for the first time — among other creative pivots — and the result garnered Abbott nine Emmy nominations, including outstanding comedy series.

Carol Burnett certainly doesn’t need any more accolades to confirm her legendary status: In a career that has spanned more than six decades, she became a household name thanks to the groundbreaking Carol Burnett Show (1967-78), and has shined on major mediums from Broadway to films. She’s earned Emmys, Golden Globes, a Tony and a Grammy, with only an Academy Award missing from her mantel. But Burnett isn’t pining to get Egot status. “I don’t think movies are my deal,” Burnett says plainly when asked about it. But Palm Royale, Abe Sylvia’s comedy series about a woman infiltrating Palm Beach’s high society, was very much her deal, especially when she heard Kristen Wiig would play the lead character. Burnett, Emmy nominated for her supporting role in the series, talks to THR about playing Norma Dellacorte, making new girlfriends on the show and her lucky Wordle wins.

The Bear is trying to cook up a second straight win for Outstanding Comedy Series at this year’s Emmys — but a mix of veteran shows and first-time nominees are making sure the competition stays hot.
Hulu’s acclaimed culinary dramedy leads this year’s pack of eight nominees, with Season 2 earning a record 23 nominations overall, topping 30 Rock in 2009 for the most nominations ever for a comedy in a single year.

"Hacks” could join an exclusive Emmys club this year by winning both Best Comedy Actress and Best Comedy Supporting Actress, an accomplishment only nine shows have achieved in Emmys history.
This hit HBO Max laffer stars Jean Smart as Deborah Vance, a stand-up who tries to reinvent her act with the help of a young comedy writer — Ava Daniels, played by Hannah Einbinder.
Smart is nominated this year for Best Comedy Actress alongside Ayo Edebiri (“The Bear”), Quinta Brunson (“Abbott Elementary”), Kristin Wiig (“Palm Royale”), Maya Rudolph (“Loot”), and Selena Gomez (“Only Murders in the Building”). Meanwhile, Einbinder is nominated for Best Comedy Supporting Actress alongside Meryl Streep (“Only Murders in the Building”), LizaColón-Zayas (“The Bear”), Sheryl Lee Ralph (“Abbott Elementary”), Carol Burnett (“Palm Royale”), and Janelle James (“Abbott Elementary”).

Meryl Streep returned to the awards spotlight this year with an Emmy bid for Best Comedy Supporting Actress for her scene-stealing role in Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building.” In this hit Hulu comedy, Streep plays Loretta Durkin — a struggling Broadway actress who becomes the love interest to Martin Short‘s Oliver.
Streep has always been an awards darling so it was no surprise to see her cited here. Her rivals in this race are: Carol Burnett (“Palm Royale”), Liza Colón-Zayas (“The Bear”), Hannah Einbinder (“Hacks”), Janelle James (“Abbott Elementary”) and Sheryl Lee Ralph (also “Abbott Elementary”).
This marked Streep’s sixth Emmy nomination. That’s a long way from her whopping 21 Oscar bids. Scroll down for a comparison of her win/loss record at the biggest TV and movie awards in the world.
Streep has over three times the amount of Oscar nominations than she does Emmy bids.

With her 23rd Emmy nomination coming 62 years after she was first nominated for “The Garry Moore Show” in 1962, Carol Burnett has now been nominated for 14 different shows. The one she’s best known for is “The Carol Burnett Show,” her long-running and wildly popular variety show that ran from 1967 until 1978.
But there were also variety specials, dramas and comedies. And now, at the age of 91, one of the most beloved entertainers of the television age has been nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for the Apple TV+ comedy “Palm Royale,” in which she steals more than a few scenes as Norma Dellacorte, a rich society dame who spends a third of the season in a coma and then another big chunk of it conscious but unable to talk except in grunts and squawks.

A little over a year ago, Showtime announced that they were ordering a series – then known as Dexter: Origins, now known as Dexter: Original Sin – that would serve as a prequel series to their popular show Dexter, which finished its eight season initial run back in 2013, then recently came back for a new season (called Dexter: New Blood) that appeared to wrap things up for good… We’ve been hearing Dexter: Original Sin casting announcements here and there in recent weeks, and now Deadline reports that the latest addition to the cast is Amanda Brooks, whose previous credits include Super Pumped, The Birch (pictured above), Christmas Everlasting, Castle Rock, Nashville, Outsiders, and Aquarius.
Brooks will be taking on the role of Becca Spencer, Captain Aaron Spencer’s ex-wife who shares custody of their son, Nicky. On this show, she’ll be sharing the screen with Patrick Gibson of Shadow and Bone...

Abe Sylvia, the creator of Apple TV+’s Palm Royale, had for years been trying to make a show that takes place in Palm Beach, and he finally cracked it with the Kristen Wiig-led comedy series about a woman who strives, and will do anything, to be a part of high society in the exclusive community. The writing, the star-studded cast (including Carol Burnett, Allison Janney, Laura Dern and Ricky Martin) and the vibrant production and costume design all helped the show resonate with Academy voters, who awarded the series 10 Emmy nominations, including best comedy.
Below, Sylvia talks filming in Los Angeles, how the script was tailored when Burnett came on board and why multiple seasons were always the endgame.

One of the most vibrant and snappy scores this Emmy season is for Apple TV+’s Kristen Wiig comedy series Palm Royale, a complete homage to the Henry Mancini-Latin jazz-infused 1960s swinging era soundtracks (which by the way this series is set in). The most immediate reference that comes to mind is Mancini’s toe-tapping score for the 1963 Audrey Hepburn movie Charade.
‘Palm Royale’
It just so happens that Palm Royale composer Jeff Toyne has a Mancini connection — which he talks about here on today’s Crew Call.
The Canadian composer and USC film music grad grew up being schooled by the great Oscar winner Jerry Goldsmith, which we also chat about here.
Toyne’s career has spanned 25 years as a composer on such indie pics like Life on the Line with John Travolta and Sharon Stone, and Dirty Girl with Juno Temple, Milla Jovovich and William H. Macy,...

Maya Rudolph and Kristen Wiig have quite a few things in common beyond getting their start on Saturday Night Live. This year, they’re both Emmy nominated for outstanding actress in a comedy series: Rudolph for Loot and Wiig for Palm Royale, both on Apple TV+.
But before their success with scripted series, the duo had audiences — and sometimes fellow castmembers — in stitches on NBC’s long-running sketch comedy show. When Rudolph returned to SNL (having left in 2007) to host the Feb. 18, 2012, episode, she and castmembers Wiig and Bill Hader struggled to keep straight faces during the Price Is Right parody “Super Showcase.”
Rudolph and Wiig play incompetent spokesmodels Shonda and Vonda, respectively, who present prizes as the game show host (Hader) and a contestant (Vanessa Bayer) look on. One prize includes a “lifetime supply of frozen chicken,” as Wiig and Rudolph unwrap a frozen bird and Wiig fights to...

Some actors are so good they can consistently draw attention without even trying. But Carol Burnett might be the only living legend who can literally steal scenes in her sleep. The 91-year-old actor just received her 23rd Primetime Emmy nomination for her supporting work in the satirical comedy “Palm Royale” — for playing a character who spends a good part of the season in a coma.
Created by Abe Sylvia and set in 1969, “Palm Royale” casts Burnett as Norma Dellacorte, a beloved and feared grand dame of Florida society who has been bedridden since a pulmonary episode. Her caretaker becomes Maxine Simmons-Dellacorte (played by fellow Emmy nominee Kristen Wiig), the wife of Norma’s nephew, but can only communicate her disdain through a series or groans and gibberish. Yet Burnett makes her limited capacities a master class in acting.
While that might sound difficult, Burnett dismisses such ideas. “It wasn’t a challenge at all,...

To date, only three programs throughout TV history have swept the top seven Primetime Emmys categories for series, lead actor, lead actress, supporting actor, supporting actress, writing and directing. Miniseries “Angels in America” was the first to do so in 2004, followed by comedy “Schitt’s Creek” in 2020, and then drama “The Crown” in 2021. At the upcoming 2024 Emmys, “The Bear” is hoping to join this esteemed list — and it’s all thanks to a savvy category switcheroo.
Last year, the FX dramedy about a Chicago beef restaurant claimed six of the top seven prizes for its first season: comedy series, lead actor Jeremy Allen White as Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto, supporting actor Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Richard “Richie” Jerimovich, supporting actress Ayo Edebiri as Sydney Adamu, and both writing and directing for Christopher Storer. “The Bear” was not eligible in the lead actress category, so it couldn’t win there and complete the sweep.

They came from all over L.A. on Monday night to spend a languid, balmy August evening on the roof of the iconic One Culver building in the heart of Culver City. The event honored Emmy nominees in numerous crafts categories at Apple TV+’s Summer Soiree FYC party, where some 300 people gathered to talk about the forthcoming awards and chow down on a gourmet buffet. In the main, they were there to take a bow themselves or rise in applause for hairstylists, make-up artists, composers, sound editors and mixers, production designers, set decorators, main title designers, costume designers and casting directors who had earned 2024 nominations for the Apfel original series “The Morning Show,” “Palm Royale” and “Masters of the Air.”

Gold Derby can exclusively reveal that Jean Smart is entering the “Hacks” episode “Yes, And” as her 2024 Emmy Award submission for Best Comedy Actress. The episode aired on May 23 and is the eighth one of the third season of the Max series.
In “Yes, And,” Deborah (Smart) and Ava (Hannah Einbinder) head to Berkeley, where the former is scheduled to receive an honorary doctorate from her alma mater. Things unravel when a supercut of Deborah’s old, problematic material goes viral, forcing a defiant Deborah to confront cancel culture, first by trying to win over the students by doing improv and partying at a frat house. After her test show and doctorate ceremony get canceled, she participates in a student town hall, during which she apologizes for her past jokes and listens. Later back home, Jimmy (Paul W.

Gold Derby can exclusively reveal that Maya Rudolph is entering the “Loot” episode “Space for Everyone” as her 2024 Emmy Award submission for Best Comedy Actress. The episode aired on April 3 and is the Season 2 premiere of the Apple TV+ series.
In “Space for Everyone,” the group brainstorms what to do with Molly’s (Rudolph) money, which ends with a young billionaire getting busted for fraud and money laundering. Arthur (Nat Faxon), who has not yet told Molly his feelings for her, comforts her when she’s embarrassed she almost handed her fortune to a felon. Molly then gets the idea to buy empty hotels to turn into affordable housing and call it Space for Everyone. However, her ex-husband John (Adam Scott) steals her thunder the next day by announcing his new mission to space.

The second Emmys of 2024 is sure to set records. With multiple first-time nominees, groundbreaking recognition for Indigenous performers and an actual good mix of shows, the nominations cast a wide net. Below, Variety breaks down the contenders in most of the main categories.
Drama Series
The drama category is one of the most peculiar in this year’s Emmy competition. “The Crown” is the only series nominated last year, while the rest are either new shows or shows finally getting their due. In fact, “The Crown” — which took home this trophy in 2021 — was probably the front-runner until FX decided freshman hit “Shōgun” would not be a limited series. Other newcomers this year: Amazon Prime Video’s “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” and “Fallout,” plus Netflix’s “3 Body Problem” for their freshman seasons; these choices demonstrate that the TV Academy isn’t focusing on one type of drama.

Gold Derby can exclusively reveal that Carol Burnett is entering the “Palm Royale” episode “Maxine Shakes the Tree” as her 2024 Emmy Award submission for Best Comedy Supporting Actress. “Maxine Shakes the Tree” aired on April 3 and is the fifth episode of the first season of the Apple TV+ series.
In this episode, Norma (Burnett) has awaken from her coma but is unable to pronounce words, engaging in conversations through lots of mumbling and groaning. Maxine interprets one of Norma’s murmurs to mean she should confront Douglas (Josh Lucas) about his past engagement to Linda (Laura Dern), so she brings Norma along in a wheelchair. A flashback reveals that Norma was the one who helped Douglas run away to Chattanooga for Maxine and ditch Linda at the altar. At the end, Linda tells Norma that it’s over and tosses her Rolodex’s contents into the fire while all Norma can do is groan.

Less than a year after winning her seventh career Emmy for producing her own birthday special, “90 Years of Laughter + Love,” Carol Burnett is on the verge of making even more TV academy history. Having just secured a Best Comedy Supporting Actress nomination for Apple TV+’s “Palm Royale,” she has a clear shot at not only conquering her fifth unique Emmy category but also becoming the organization’s very first nonagenarian acting champion.
Set in 1969, “Palm Royale” is the first non-sketch series on which Burnett has ever played a regular role. She appears throughout the inaugural season as Norma Dellacorte, an initially comatose Florida socialite who, like all of the women in her circle, harbors some rather heavy secrets. The show is up for a total of 11 Emmys, including Best Comedy Series and Actress (Kristen Wiig).
