Offerman and Reid
Nick Offerman and Storm Reid clinched the titles of Best Guest Actor and Actress in a Drama Series, respectively, at the 2023 Creative Arts Emmys held on Saturday.
Offerman, recognized for his role in “The Last of Us,” faced stiff competition from fellow nominees Murray Bartlett, James Cromwell (“Succession”), Lamar Johnson, Arian Moayed (“Succession”), and Keivonn Montreal Woodard, all from “The Last of Us.”
Storm Reid, acclaimed for her outstanding performance in the same series, competed against Hiam Abbass, Cherry Jones from “Succession”, Melanie Lynskey, Anna Torv from “The Last of Us”, and Harriet Walter from “Succession”.
Acceptance Speeches
During her emotional acceptance speech, Reid expressed, “I’m such a mess. 30 seconds is just not enough time!” She thanked her team, family, and friends, giving a special shoutout to her mother. “This is proof you can do anything. I’m just a young girl from Atlanta, Georgia,” she concluded, receiving thunderous applause. This victory marked Reid’s inaugural win and nomination.
In his acceptance speech, Offerman reflected on his triumph, noting, “Fortune presents gifts not according to the book.” He acknowledged his co-nominee, Murray Bartlett, for their collaboration in “The Last of Us‘ breakout episode.” Offerman expressed gratitude to his wife, Megan Mullally, and credited showrunner Craig Mazin, stating, “We would not be doing anything but standing around if Craig Mazin hadn’t written the most beautiful script I’ve ever been handed.” This win marked Offerman’s first Emmy, following four nominations.
The Last of Us at the Emmys
“The Last of Us” secured an impressive 24 nominations at this year’s Emmys, including outstanding drama series and recognition for stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey.
