The Apple TV+ streaming service has won its first primetime Emmy award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for Billy Crudup’s performance in “The Morning Show” which stars actresses Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon.
Last evening’s virtual Primetime Emmy Awards brought one win to “The Morning Show” thanks to Cudrup’s performance as Cory Ellison, the forward-thinking president of the News Division at UBA. In the show, Crudup’s character was brought over from the recently revitalized Entertainment Division to bring some “hip juju.”
Here’s Apple’s description for “The Morning Show”:
What happens when the people you trust to tell the truth prove themselves to be dishonest? ‘The Morning Show’ follows the free fall of an early morning newscast in the wake of a scandal, and its struggle to survive in an era when news arrives in the palm of your hand.
‘The Morning Show’ stars Academy Award winner Reese Witherspoon, Emmy winner Jennifer Aniston and Golden Globe winner Steve Carell in a high-stakes drama that pulls back the curtain on the morning news.
Check out the motion design that earned Hazel Baird her Emmy nomination for Outstanding Main Title for “The Morning Show.”
