Wisconsin natives Rachel Brosnahan and Tony Shalhoub were both nominated — each for the fourth time — for Emmys Tuesday for their performances on "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel."
The Primetime Emmy Awards nominations were announced in more than 100 categories; as usual, cable and streaming series, like Amazon Prime Video's "Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," led the field.

Brosnahan, a Milwaukee native who grew up in Chicago, earned her fourth nomination for best actress in a comedy series as the series' title character; she has been been nominated for each season of the series, and won in the category in 2018. (Tuesday's was Brosnahan's fifth nomination overall; she also earned a nomination in 2015 for outstanding guest actress on "House of Cards.")
Shalhoub, a Green Bay native, is 4 for 4, too. He earned his fourth nomination for best supporting actor in a comedy series as Midge Maisel's father. He won the Emmy in 2019. (Before "Mrs. Maisel," Shalhoub was nominated eight times for best actor in a comedy series for "Monk," winning three Emmys in that role.)
"The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" earned 12 nominations overall. The corporate drama "Succession" led the Emmy field with 25 nominations, followed by 20 for "Ted Lasso" and "The White Lotus," 17 for "Hacks" and "Only Murders in the Building," and 16 for "Euphoria."
Continuing recent trends in the Emmy realm, none of those series airs on broadcast television.
Other Wisconsin connections in the Emmy Awards announced Tuesday included:
Lighting designer Noah Mitz, who grew up in Milwaukee and graduated from Nicolet High School, collected five Emmy nominations: two for outstanding lighting design/lighting direction for a variety series, for "America's Got Talent" and "American Song Contest"; and three for outstanding lighting design/lighting direction for a variety special, for "Adele: One Night Only," "The 64th Annual Grammy Awards" and "The Tony Awards Present: Broadway's Back!" Those bring Mitz's career total to 23 nominations.
"When Claude Got Shot," the documentary about Milwaukee native Claude Motley and his journey to justice after he was shot while visiting home for a high school reunion, was nominated for exceptional merit in documentary filmmaking.
"Station Eleven," the HBO dystopian sci-fi drama led by Green Bay native Patrick Somerville, earned seven nominations, including one for Somerville, for outstanding writing for a limited or anthology series or movie.
"Rick and Morty," co-created by Milwaukee native Dan Harmon, was nominated for outstanding animated program.
The 74th Emmy Awards will be broadcast live on Sept. 12 on NBC and streamed live on Peacock.
