T

he Emmy Awards ceremony
will be held on Sunday,
Sept. 15. It starts at 8 p.m.
(on ABC). This year’s co-hosts are
Eugene Levy, 77, and Dan Levy, 41.
This is the first time that a father
and son will share the honor of being
Emmy hosts.
Here are the “verified” Jewish
Emmy nominees.

ACTORS AND ACTRESSES
There are 12 acting categories. The
number of nominees varies from one
category to another (six or seven).
There are six Jewish nominees in
five categories:
Larry David, 77, lead actor
in a comedy series, Curb Your
Enthusiasm (HBO). Of course,
David plays a “version” of himself in
Curb. Surprisingly, David was only
nominated once before for his acting
in Curb (2012). His only two Emmy
wins were for writing Seinfeld. The

Curb series ended this past season.
So, David has some sentimental
support behind him, and he could
win this year.
Maya Rudolph, 52, lead actress,
comedy series. She stars as Molly
Novak in Loot (Apple TV+).
Paul Rudd, 55, supporting actor,

comedy series, Only Murders in the
Building (Hulu). Surprisingly, this is
Rudd’s first Emmy nomination, and
he hasn’t been Oscar-nominated.
However, at age 52, he was People
magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive. That’s
pretty good.
Ebon Moss Bacharach, 47,

supporting role, comedy series, The
Bear (FX/Hulu). In 2023, he won the
Emmy in this category.
Hannah Einbinder, 29, supporting
actress in a comedy series, Hacks
(HBO). Einbinder is the daughter
of Laraine Newman, 71, an original
SNL cast member. Einbinder has
been nominated twice for this role
(2021, 2022). Basically, Hacks is a
two-woman show: Einbinder and
Jean Smart. Smart has won two
Emmys for Hacks, and it gets real old
if Einbinder keeps on losing.
Robert Downey Jr., 59.,
supporting actor in a limited series,
The Sympathizer (HBO). I always
“wobble” when I include Downey
as Jewish. In common terms, he is
three-eighths Jewish (his father had
three Jewish grandparents). Downey
wed his Jewish wife in a Jewish
ceremony and calls himself “Jewish
Buddhist.” This is his third Emmy
nomination.
