It’s a great year for grownups on TV, and this week’s Emmy nominations are proof. First, everybody’s favorite unsung genius (and brand-new AARP qualifier), Better Call Saul’s Rhea Seehorn, 50, earned her first nomination (plus a second nom for her YouTube show, Cooper’s Bar). In other cheering news, performers over 50 earned 65 nominations in the race. They’ll learn whether they’ve snagged a coveted golden statuette when the winners are announced on Monday, Sept. 12, at 8 p.m. ET . Grownups dominated the categories of guest actress for both comedy and drama (our own favorites: in Only Murders in the Building and Harriet Walter in Succession); limited series supporting actor (critic’s fave: The White Lotus’ Murray Bartlett); reality host; short form series; voice-over performance (critic’s fave: Bridgerton’s Julie Andrews); and narrator (we can’t decide between The Mating Game’s David Attenborough, Black Patriots: Heroes of the Civil War’s , and Our Great National Parks’ Barack Obama — his first Emmy nomination!).
