FROM JAPAN TO A CHICAGO KITCHEN

TO A MURDER PRONE NEW YORK CITY

APARTMENT BUILDING TO "ABBOTT

ELEMENTARY," ALL SHOWING A LOT

OF HEAT AND TONS OF TALENT,

ESPECIALLY FROM THE FIRST-TIME

NOMINEES.

THIS YEAR IS ONE FOR THE

RECORDS.

FROM MOVIE STARS RYAN GOSLING,

PAUL RUDD, AND NAOMI WATTS, TO

MUSIC LEGENDS LIONEL RICHIE AND

USHER.

SO MANY SHINING STARS ARE

SURPRISINGLY GETTING THEIR FIRST

>> WE PULLED THE SECURITY TAPE.

>> Robin: "FARGO'S"

15 NOMINATIONS INCLUDE FIRST

TIME NOMINEE AND FAN FAVORITE,

LAMORNE MORRIS FOR OUTSTANDING

SUPPORTING ACTOR.

>> AND FOR THE RECORD THAT'S

JUST REALITY.

>> CONGRATULATIONS, EMMY NOMINEE

LAMORNE MORRIS.

>> THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

THAT'S -- THAT'S HOW PEOPLE

SHOULD START ADDRESSING ME.

>> IS THAT -- YOU KNOW, THAT'S

HOW PEOPLE ARE GONNA -- LIKE,

THAT RING?

>> IT'S CRAZY.

>> Robin: A COMEDY VETERAN BEST

KNOWN FOR HIS ROLE ON "NEW GIRL"

BUT NOT EVERYTHING IS A JOKE TO

LAMORNE.

THIS EMOTIONAL, VIRAL TIKTOK OF

THE MOMENT HE LEARNED HE WAS

NOMINATED.

>> DADDY.

>> YES, BABY, DADDY'S CRYING.

>> WHAT PROPELLED YOU TO WANT TO

SHARE THAT WITH EVERYONE?

>> I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, YOU

KNOW, THIS MIGHT BE SOMETHING

FOR MY DAUGHTER TO LOOK AT ONE

DAY.

I KEPT THE VIDEO JUST FOR US.

BUT THEN I JUST THOUGHT TO

MYSELF, PEOPLE NEED TO SEE

PEOPLE WITH TEARS OF JOY.

PEOPLE NEED TO CRY.

>> YOU'RE KNOWN FOR YOUR COMEDIC

CHOPS, BUT TO GET THE EMMY NOM

FOR A MORE SERIOUS ROLE HAS TO

MEAN A LOT.

>> WHEN YOU GET A NOMINATION,

IT'S A BIT OF A VALIDATION THAT

SAYS, SHUT UP.

YOU ARE -- YOU ARE RIGHT WHERE

YOU NEED TO BE.

YOU ARE DOING THE THINGS YOU

NEED TO BE DOING.

A WIN WOULD SAY SOMETHING

COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, BECAUSE

THEN NOW IT'S SPEEDBOATS AND

PRIVATE JETS.

IF I WIN, OH, FORGET ABOUT IT.

Y'ALL BETTER LET ME WIN.

>> SO WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING

FORWARD TO THAT NIGHT?

>> MY MOM'S MY DATE.

>> OH, THAT'S SO SWEET.

>> YEAH, MY MOM'S MY DATE.

ZOE KRAVITZ IS UNAVAILABLE,

'CAUSE APPARENTLY, SHE'S ENGAGED

TO SOMEBODY.

MY MOM WAS THE SECOND OPTION.

>> Robin: IT'S BEEN AN EXCITING

YEAR. NETFLIX AND WARNER

BROTHERS/DISCOVERY ALL GARNERING

MORE THAN 100 NOMINATIONS EACH.

AND LEADING THE PACK, DISNEY.

>> WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT

183 NOMINATIONS, WHAT DOES IT

SAY ABOUT THIS ERA OF TELEVISION

MAKING?

>> I THINK IT SAYS THAT PEOPLE

HAVE AN ENORMOUS APPETITE FOR

GREAT STORIES.

THEY WANT TO DISAPPEAR INTO

THEM.

THEY WANT TO ESCAPE.

THEY WANT TO BE ENTERTAINED.

AND THE JOURNEYS THEY GO ON ARE

SO INCREDIBLE.

>> Robin: WE JOURNEY 2,500 MILES

FROM THE GLITZ OF THE RED CARPET

TO SEE THE OASIS WHICH INSPIRED

THE CREATIVE MINDS OF THIS

YEAR'S MOST NOMINATED SERIES.

>> WE'RE HERE ON OUR PORCH ON

MAUI, AND IT'S WHERE WE LIVE AND

RAISE OUR KIDS.

>> THIS LOOKS GOOD FOR US TO

PICK.

>> IT'S WHERE WE RAISE OUR

ANIMALS, OUR MANY, MANY ANIMALS.

>> Robin: AND IT'S HERE WHERE

HUSBAND AND WIFE RACHEL KONDO

AND JUSTIN MARKS, LEARNED

"SHOGUN" HAD BEEN NOMINATED FOR

A WHOPPING 25 EMMYS INCLUDING

OUTSTANDING DRAMA SERIES.

>> WE WOKE UP EARLY AND IT WAS

STILL DARK OUTSIDE AND, I MEAN,

MY MOUTH WAS AGAPE AND I JUST

COULDN'T STOP ALMOST GIGGLING

BECAUSE IT FELT VERY SURREAL.

>> IT TOOK RACHEL AND JUSTIN

10 YEARS TO GET "SHOGUN" FROM

DEVELOPMENT ONTO THE SCREEN, AND

I THINK THE AUDIENCE FEELS THAT.

THEY FEEL THEIR INVESTMENT.

GIVEN HOW MUCH OF IT IS IN

JAPANESE AND SUBTITLED, TO ASK A

GLOBAL AUDIENCE TO STICK WITH IT

ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE

10 EPISODES, AND THAT'S EXACTLY

WHAT THEY DID.

>> WE KNEW IT WAS SOMETHING THAT

WE BELIEVED IN.

AND WE SET OUT EARLY IN THIS

PROCESS TO TELL A STORY AT A

LEVEL OF AUTHENTICITY THAT WE

FELT HAD NOT BEEN SEEN IN

HOLLYWOOD PRODUCTION.

>> Robin: AND FIVE MEMBERS OF

THE CAST ARE FIRST-TIME NOMINEES

INCLUDING HIROYUKI SANADA WHO IS

UP FOR OUTSTANDING ACTOR, AS

WELL AS PRODUCER.

>> IT'S A LOT FOR ME.

THE, YOU KNOW, FIRST NOMINATION

OF COURSE AND THEN IT WAS MY

FIRST LEADING ROLE IN HOLLYWOOD.

SO, YEAH, IT'S CRAZY.

LUCKILY, AS A PRODUCER, I COULD

HIRE JAPANESE CREW WHO HAS

EXPERIENCE FOR THE SAMURAI DRAMA

MAKING.

BECAUSE, PROPS, COSTUME, WIG,

EVERYTHING HAD TO BE CORRECT.

I HAD A GREAT TEAM.

YOU KNOW, DREAM TEAM.

>> Robin: AFTER HER HISTORIC

OSCAR NOMINATION FOR "KILLERS OF

THE FLOWER MOON," LILY GLADSTONE

IS NOW MAKING HISTORY AGAIN

CELEBRATING HER FIRST EMMY NOD

FOR SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN THE

HULU MINISERIES, "UNDER THE

BRIDGE."

>> I WAS HONESTLY PRETTY BLOWN

AWAY WHEN I HEARD THAT THE

NOMINATION HAD COME IN.

>> Robin: LILY SHARES THE

CATEGORY WITH HER FRIEND

KALI REIS WHO'S NOMINATED FOR

"TRUE DETECTIVE."

THE FIRST INDIGENOUS ACTRESSES

>> I'M REALLY HAPPY THAT I'M NOT

THE ONLY ONE WHO'S SHARING THAT

IN THIS CATEGORY THIS YEAR.

IT'S SO NICE TO BE CARRYING THE

WEIGHT OF THAT HISTORIC

RESPONSIBILITY, I GUESS, WITH

ANOTHER SISTER.

>> Robin: NOMINATED ALONGSIDE

THEM IS "BABY REINDEER'S"

NAVA MAU, THE FIRST

TRANSGENDERED PERSON IN THAT

CATEGORY.

>> YOU STOPPED ME CALLING THE

NIGHT SHE ATTACKED ME.

YOU STOPPED EVERYONE CALLING.

>> TO BE THE FIRST SIMPLY MEANS

THAT IN A LOT OF WAYS, I'M THE

FIRST TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY

AND THE APPROPRIATE SUPPORT THAT

IT TAKES TO REACH A MILESTONE

LIKE THIS.

>> Robin: AND MAKING HISTORY

BEHIND THE CAMERA IS SALLI

RICHARDSON WHITFIELD FOR HER

WORK ON THE HBO SERIES "WINNING

TIME: THE RISE OF THE LAKERS

DYNASTY."

>> THE FIRST BLACK WOMAN TO

RECEIVE AN EMMY NOMINATION FOR

DIRECTING, FOR A DRAMA SERIES.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO YOU?

>> WHEN I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS

THE FIRST BLACK WOMAN, OF COURSE

I WAS EXCITED, BUT I WAS

SADDENED TOO BECAUSE IT WAS LIKE

IT COULDN'T BE.

I THINK IT MEANS A LOT BECAUSE I

FEEL LIKE IT MIGHT OPEN THE

DOORS FOR MANY OTHER WOMEN TO

GET THIS HONOR.

>> EXECUTIVE PRODUCER, DIRECTOR,

THAT IS RARE IN ITSELF.

BUT THEN BLACK WOMAN AS

EXECUTIVE PRODUCER AND DIRECTOR

ON A PROJECT, THIS IS RAREFIED

AIR.

>> I THINK THAT PEOPLE ARE

REALLY SURPRISED TO SEE ME AS

DIRECTOR AND EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

OF A SHOW LIKE "WINNING TIME"

BECAUSE IT'S SPORTS, IT'S

SPORTS.

I THINK THAT'S BEEN PART OF WHY

I'VE CHALLENGED MYSELF.

>> Robin: FROM THE RISE OF THE

LAKERS TO THE RISE OF NEW YORK

SOCIETY, SALLI HAS ANOTHER

NOMINATION TO BE EXCITED ABOUT

HBO'S "THE GILDED AGE", FOR

WHICH SHE IS ONE OF THE

EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS.

THE SHOW, SET IN THE 19th

CENTURY IS NOMINATED FOR SIX

EMMYS INCLUDING OUTSTANDING

DRAMA.

>> OH, WELCOME TO THE VAN RHIJN

HOUSE.

>> ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

YOU HAVE TRANSPORTED ME TO

THE 1880s, DARLING.

>> ISN'T IT GORGEOUS?

>> WOW.

>> IT'S JUST SO PERFECT.

AND YOU WOULD NEVER THINK YOU

WERE ON A STAGE.

>> WHO TAUGHT YOU TO WRITE LIKE

THIS?

>> THE INSTITUTE FOR COLORED

YOUTH IN PHILADELPHIA, BUT I

KNOW IT WELL.

>> Reporter: AND AS FOR MAKING

HER OWN HISTORY --

>> I'M JUST EXCITED BECAUSE I

THINK THAT PEOPLE SEE ME.

AND THAT'S REALLY ALL I WANT.

>> Announcer: NEXT, FROM "ONLY

MURDERS," WE'VE GOT NOT ONLY

MERYL, BUT A LOT OF LAUGHS.

>> I DID FEEL THE NEED TO LAUGH,

AND I THOUGHT TWO OF MY

FAVORITE --

>> SAY IT.

MONKEYS.

>> Announcer: WHEN WE COME BACK.

>> Robin: NO WAY I COULD HAVE

ALL THE FUN.

IT'S NICE TO SHARE.

MY ABC COLLEAGUE CHRIS CONNELLY

STARS AND DO I MEAN STARS.

SHE ASKED FOR, BECAUSE SHE WAS

SAD.

>> MERYL, WHY DID YOU WANT TO BE

PART OF THIS ENSEMBLE WITH ALL

THE CHOICES THAT PRESENT

THEMSELVES TO YOU?

>> THE TRUTH IS THAT THE WORLD

WAS GETTING TO ME.

IT WAS SORT OF -- I WAS FEELING

OVERWHELMED BY DARK EVENTS.

I DID FEEL THE NEED TO LAUGH,

I WAS LIKE, OKAY, THAT AMAZING

MOMENT HAPPENED AND MAYBE, YOU

THAN YOU THINK, AND I'M GOING TO

DO THE ROAST MY WAY, AND I'M

ALL THE TIME, WE USED TO WATCH

YOUR SHOW ALL THE TIME.

>> I ALWAYS SAY, YOU WERE THE

ONE.

>> OH, NO.

SO MANY.

>> OH, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> BUT IT WAS JUST A WONDERFUL

TIME FOR -- AND I CAN JUST HEAR

THE LAUGHTER.

YOU WERE ABLE TO CHANGE THE

COURSE OF COMEDY FOR WOMEN.

YOU REALLY WERE A TRAILBLAZER IN

MANY WAYS.

YOU TALK ABOUT GROWING UP IN

HOLLYWOOD.

I MEAN, THIS WAS, LIKE, YOUR

PLAYGROUND, WASN'T IT?

THE "Os" WERE THE EASIEST TO

CLIMB UP TO.

WE'D HANG OVER THE LETTERS AND

LOOK ALL OVER HOLLYWOOD, YOU

KNOW.

IT WAS JUST -- WE HAD A GREAT

TIME.

>> Robin: CAROL IS NOW HAVING

THE TIME OF HER LIFE, PLAYING

NORMA DELLACORTE ON THE APPLE TV

PLUS SERIES, "PALM ROYALE" --

>> I REMEMBER THE YEAR THAT

NORMA MADE HER ENTRANCE AS

BOTTICELLI'S VENUS IN A CLAM

SHELL OF REAL PEARLS.

>> Robin: -- WHERE HER

INCREDIBLE FACIAL EXPRESSIONS

AND YEARS OF PHYSICAL COMEDY ARE

FRONT AND CENTER.

>> AH, LOOK AT YOU TWO, STARING

AT EACH OTHER LIKE A COUPLE OF

LOVE BIRDS.

WHAT IS EXACTLY GOING ON BETWEEN

YOU TWO ANYWAY?

>> Robin: IN THIS SOAPY SERIES

HER CHARACTER SPENDS MOST OF THE

WAH-WAH-WAH-WAH IS.

>> WEH-WAH-WAH.

>> Robin: CAROL'S NOMINATED FOR

EMMY THAT I GOT WAS 1962.

THAT WAS "GARRY MOORE."

>> OH, DEAR, HOW LOVELY.

CAROL BURNETT.

>> Robin: A THEN 29-YEAR-OLD

CAROL BURNETT FIRST ROSE TO FAME

ON "THE GARRY MOORE VARIETY

SHOW."

>> I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING TO

SAY.

FROM MY MOUTH, THAT'S SOMETHING.

>> I WAS STUNNED WHEN -- YEAH,

THAT WAS MY -- MY FIRST ONE.

THE FIRST AWARD I EVER GOT WAS

1952 WHEN I WAS AT UCLA.

>> OUTSTANDING NEWCOMER?

IT WAS SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

YOU.

EMMYS, GOLDEN GLOBE, MEDAL OF

FREEDOM, TONY, GRAMMY, AND THEN

YOU GO BACK TO THAT AWARD.

>> THAT'S MY FAVORITE ONE.

>> WHAT WAS IT ABOUT THAT?

>> WELL, JUST BECAUSE I NEVER

EXPECTED IT.

I NEVER EXPECTED TO BE AN -- A

PERFORMER AT ALL.

WHAT HAPPENED WAS I WAS EDITOR

OF MY JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL PAPER

AND HOLLYWOOD HIGH PAPER, AND I

THOUGHT I WOULD GO INTO

JOURNALISM.

SO WHEN I GOT A CHANCE TO GO TO

UCLA, I WANTED TO MAJOR IN

JOURNALISM, BUT THERE WAS NO

MAJOR.

SO, I GOT THE CATALOG AND I

COULD TAKE THE PLAYWRITING

COURSE 'CAUSE I WANTED TO WRITE.

AND THEN SOME KIDS CAME UP.

THEY HAD WRITTEN SOME ONE ACTS

AND STUFF AND SAID, WOULD YOU BE

IN A ONE ACT?

AND SO I WENT, YEAH, OKAY.

AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT OPENED UP

EVERYTHING.

THEN ONE FRIEND SAID, CAN YOU

CARRY A TUNE?

I SAID, I THINK SO.

AND I DID THAT AND THEN I

THOUGHT I WANT TO BE IN MUSICAL

COMEDY.

BUT IT WAS ALL, ROBIN, AN

ACCIDENT.

IF THERE'D BEEN A MAJOR IN

JOURNALISM, I WOULDN'T BE --

ONE PERSON SHE'D LOVE TO WORK

WITH AND HAS NEVER HAD THE

CHANCE.

THERE'S ANYONE SHE CAN WORK WITH

WHOM SHE'S NEVER WORKED WITH

YET, IT WOULD BE YOU.

>> REALLY?

OH, MY.

WELL, I'M AVAILABLE CURRENTLY,

CAROL.

>> OH, NO.

>> WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT HER IN

YOUR MIND?

>> WELL, IT IS THAT SPIRIT WHERE

SHE MAKES THINGS FUNNY, BUT IT'S

NOT CRUEL.

SHE FINDS COMPASSION AND MAKES

FUN OF HERSELF, BUT NOT -- IT'S

NOT -- JUST JUST GOOD HEARTED.

>> I'M GONNA CRY.

OH.

OH, I'M GONNA DIE HAPPY.

THAT WAS SO SWEET.

I TREASURE THAT.
