The Big Picture The 76th Emmy Awards nominations are finally here, and with that comes a slew of history-making nominees. FX’s megahit The Bear swept categories across the board with a record-breaking number of considerations. Lily Gladstone and Kali Reis also broke ground with their respective nominations, while the Walt Disney Company earned various achievements with its collective 180 nominations.
Abbott Elementary TV-PGComedy A workplace comedy centered around a group of dedicated teachers - and an oblivious principal - in a Philadelphia public school where, despite the odds stacked against them, they are determined to help their students succeed in life. The Season 3 premiere alone shows just how deserving James is of Emmy recognition, as Ava’s shenanigans were always key to her character’s popularity. It was jarring, to say the least, when she returned as a character more akin to Barbara . The Abbott educators eventually get Ava to drop the persona, which could have been a very dull return for the character, but James plays “Professional Ava” with such nuance and contrast that every scene is a gem, and it’s almost a shame to see her go.
James’ approach to Ava was one of comedic genius, but she also inhabited the character with a touch of realism. Though Professional Ava may have been a temporary mode, James continued to interject much of Ava’s character progression into her performance. It was fun to watch new and old Ava clash, like when she had to restrain herself at a panel for educators. At times, it appeared Ava’s soul was about to leave her body because of how hard she was fighting her instinct.
