Summary
Brittany Allen and Jeff Kober both won Emmy guest-acting nominations for The Pitt after self-submitting their performances, a relatively uncommon route to landing a nod.
Allen was nominated for guest actress for playing terminally ill patient Roxie Hamler across 7 episodes, after publicly saying in June that HBO had not submitted her and she was running her own FYC campaign.
Kober earned a guest actor nomination for his 6-episode turn as Duke Ekins, a motorcycle mechanic and friend of Dr. Robby who helps steer him through a season-long emotional breakdown.
Casey Bloys said HBO cannot strategically submit every performer from a cast that large, though the company encourages self-submissions; self-submitted Emmy nominations remain rare, with Gwendoline Christie a notable past example.
The dual nods added to a strong Emmy haul for The Pitt, which collected 25 nominations overall, including best drama series and multiple acting mentions across its ensemble.
