“I’m just so thrilled for the cast ofBig Little Liesand the cast ofMorning Show,” Witherspoon, 43, toldThe Hollywood Reporter. “It feels like a dream come true that I am involved in such an incredibly stellar project, both of them! We’re just thrilled, and we’re working on season two ofMorning Show. It’s been really fun kind of figuring out where these characters are all going. It’s just an honor to work with this talented cast and this amazing writing team.”
In an interview with PEOPLE,Schitt’s Creeknominee Dan Levy said he hadn’t yet shared the news with his father and costar, Eugene Levy.
“I haven’t connected with my dad yet because he is taking care of my dog at the moment and left the house for a nice long walk with my dog and left his phone at home. So nobody has been able to get in touch with my dad,” he said with a laugh. “I’m sure I will hear from him at some point soon. But he is out there celebrating with my dog somewhere.”

When They See Usactor Jharrel Jerome also shared the honor with the real-life inspirations behind his hit show, shouting out the Central Park 5.
The men, then all young teenagers of color, were wrongfully convicted and then exonerated of the assault and rape of a 28-year-old white woman who was jogging in Central Park. The heartbreaking series follows the injustices in their convictions and has shone a light on wrongly-accused people of color.
Jerome, 22, stars as Korey Wise in the Netflix show, and he shared a touching story about his history with the SAG-AFTRA foundation in his statement.
“From the bottom of my heart, thank you to my fellow peers and to the SAG-AFTRA foundation. I remember learning what a SAG card was in my drama class in high school… now I have 6 of them stuffed in my wallet and a nomination! But more importantly, I am proud to know that the Exonerated 5 are continuing to be recognized on such major platforms. This is for them!”
