Apple TV+'s comedy series 'The Studio' has earned five nominations at the upcoming Actor Awards – more than any other television show this year – cementing Apple's growing awards season presence.
Apple TV+'s awards season momentum continues to build as their original comedy series The Studio achieves a significant milestone at the 32nd Annual Actor Awards. The show has secured five nominations – more than any other television program this year – across major acting categories. This recognition arrives just ahead of this weekend's Golden Globes ceremony, where Apple productions are also expected to perform strongly.
The Actor Awards represent the newly rebranded version of the SAG-AFTRA awards, where actors honor outstanding performances by their peers. This year's ceremony will stream live on Netflix in March, but the nomination announcements already highlight Apple TV+'s growing influence in premium content. 
The Studio dominated the nominations with recognition in three key categories:
- Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series: Ike Barinholtz and Seth Rogen both received nominations for their roles
- Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series: Kathryn Hahn and Catherine O'Hara earned spots on the ballot
- Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series: The full cast received a nomination
The complete list of nominees featuring The Studio includes:
Male Actor in a Comedy Series
- Ike Barinholtz (The Studio) as Sal Saperstein
- Adam Brody (Nobody Wants This) as Noah Roklov
- Ted Danson (A Man on the Inside) as Charles Nieuwendyk
- Seth Rogen (The Studio) as Matt Remick
- Martin Short (Only Murders in the Building) as Oliver Putnam
Female Actor in a Comedy Series
- Kathryn Hahn (The Studio) as Maya Mason
- Catherine O'Hara (The Studio) as Patty Leigh

This achievement follows Apple TV+'s strategic focus on high-quality original programming since its 2019 launch. At $12.99/month (or through the Apple One bundle), the service has steadily built an award-winning catalog including Emmy favorites like Ted Lasso and Severance, plus critically acclaimed films like Pluribus. The platform's investment in talent-driven projects appears to be paying dividends during awards season.
