Gold Derby can exclusively reveal the episodes selected by all seven of the nominees for Best Movie/Limited Supporting Actress as their 2024 Emmy episode submissions.
A recent Oscar nominee for “Killers of the Flower Moon,” Lily Gladstone received her first Emmy nomination for “Under the Bridge,” in which she plays Cam Bentland, an officer investigating the disappearance and murder of a teenage girl in Canada. She submitted the final episode, “Mercy Alone,” in which Cam discovers that she was stolen from her birth family as a child as part of an adoption program that forced indigenous children into white homes. She then seeks out her family.
“Baby Reindeer” fields two contenders in this category, both nominated for the first time. Jessica Gunning plays Martha Scott, a lonely, obsessive woman who begins to stalk, harass and threaten Donny (Best Movie/Limited Actor nominee Richard Gadd), a bartender who shows her kindness. She entered “Episode 1” to Emmy judges, in which Martha meets Donny, becomes attached to him, sends him constant messages and has a public outburst at a coffee shop. Nava Mau is also nominated for playing Teri, whom Donny is dating and who is frustrated by his inconsistent affections. She submitted “Episode 5,” in which her relationship with Donny reaches a crossroads: he spends more time with her, but he struggles to perform sexually, making her insecure and depressed.
Rookie Emmy nominee Aja Naomi King co-stars in “Lessons in Chemistry” as Harriet Sloane, a neighbor of Elizabeth Zott (Best Movie/Limited Actress nominee Brie Larson) and Calvin Evans (Best Movie/Limited Supporting Actor nominee Lewis Pullman) who’s fighting to save her neighborhood from the building of a freeway. She submitted the sixth episode, “Poirot,” in which Harriet organizes a protest on the freeway that is met with police brutality.
Diane Lane is the only nominee in this category with previous Emmy experience. She earned Best Movie/Limited Actress noms for “Lonesome Dove” in 1989 and “Cinema Verite” in 2011. Here, she’s nominated for her role in “Feud: Capote vs. The Swans” as socialite Slim Keith, who wants revenge against Truman Capote (Best Movie/Limited Actor nominee Tom Hollander) for a malicious article published in Esquire. Lane submitted the episode “It’s Impossible,” in which Slim tries to disparage Capote in the press against the wishes of her fellow Swans. She’s also having an affair with her best friend’s husband Bill Paley (Best Movie/Limited Supporting Actor nominee Treat Williams), but she decides to end it after she’s confronted by Lee (Calista Flockhart).
Former boxer Kali Reis earned her first Emmy nomination for her role in “True Detective: Night Country” as Evangeline Navarro, an Alaskan trooper who with Chief Liz Danvers (Best Movie/Limited Actress nominee Jodie Foster) investigates the disappearance of eight scientists at a local research facility, as well as the unsolved murder of an indigenous activist. Reis submitted “Part 4” of the limited series, in which Navarro’s schizophrenic sister Julia dies by suicide, after which Navarro experiences troubling visions of her.
