Offerman hinted at the possibility of a whole miniseries based on the decades-long connection between Bill and Frank in response to media inquiries. It could be a musical, he said.
People reported that Bartlett has not one but two nominations this year. He was nominated for outstanding supporting actor in 2023 for his role as real-life choreographer Nick De Noia in the Hulu limited series Welcome to Chippendales. Bartlett is a returning Emmy winner, having won a supporting actor trophy in 2022 for his breakthrough performance in the first season of The White Lotus. After splitting nominations with Making It co-host Amy Poehler on three occasions, Offerman received her fourth Emmy nomination this year.
About The Last of Us
With eight golden statuettes, The Last of Us takes home the most hardware from the first night of the Creative Arts Emmy Awards.
Showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann brought their post-apocalyptic vision to HBO with The Last of Us. The show is based on the Naughty Dog video game series and takes place twenty years after a widespread fungal illness has collapsed civilization and turned its humans into zombie-like monsters.
