Weekly Commentary (Updated: April 18, 2024): Emma Stone is on track to potentially become the first individual not named Helen to clinch both an Oscar and an Emmy in the same calendar year.
Fresh from securing her second best actress Oscar for her role in Yorgos Lanthimos’ sci-fi comedy “Poor Things,” Stone’s standout performance in Showtime’s “The Curse,” opposite Nathan Fielder, positions her to emulate the achievements of Helen Hunt and Helen Mirren, the only women to have won both prestigious film and TV awards within the same calendar year. However, Stone faces stiff competition, notably from “The Morning Show” stars Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, who, despite their strong performances on the Apple series, have never been jointly nominated or won.
Imelda Staunton, previously overlooked for “The Crown,” returns in its concluding season with strong prospects, possibly contributing to a triumphant night for the royal drama.
Additionally, the TV Academy might lean towards new talents like Carrie Coon, whose exceptional performance in “The Leftovers” went unrecognized, now shining in “The Gilded Age,” and Maya Erskine, whose delightful presence in “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” is undeniable.

The Primetime Emmy Awards, commonly known as the Emmys, are awarded by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (ATAS). Established in 1949, these celebrate outstanding achievements in American primetime television. The Emmys are categorized into three divisions: the Primetime Emmy Awards for performance and production excellence, the Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards recognizing achievements in artistry and craftsmanship, and the Primetime Engineering Emmy Awards, which honor significant engineering and technological advancements. The eligibility period typically extends from June 1 to May 31 each year. The Television Academy, which hosts the Emmys, consists of over 20,000 members across 30 professional peer groups, including performers, directors, producers, art directors, artisans and executives.
