Harrison Ford is receiving his first-ever Emmy nomination at age 83 for his role as Dr. Paul Rhoades in the Apple TV+ series “Shrinking,” according to Variety’s Emmy predictions updated April 23, 2026. The nomination places him in contention for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series alongside co-star Michael Urie and other nominees including Bowen Yang, Ike Barinholtz, Colman Domingo, Jeff Hiller, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.
Ford’s portrayal of a therapist living with Parkinson’s disease has been praised for its authenticity, with the actor drawing inspiration from Michael J. Fox, who is set to appear in an upcoming season of “Shrinking.” This marks Ford’s first Emmy nomination after a career primarily focused on film, including an Oscar nomination for Best Actor in 1986 for “Witness.”
The Variety report highlights NBC’s “The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins” as a potential awards contender, featuring Bobby Moynihan and Daniel Radcliffe in its ensemble cast. The show is described as a razor-sharp comedy with a deep ensemble that could elevate performances from its cast members during Emmy consideration.
Other notable performances mentioned in the predictions include Ben Kingsley in Marvel’s “Wonder Man” and Lamorne Morris and Brendan Gleeson in Prime Video’s “Spider-Noir.” The report also notes the ongoing conversation around “The Bear” and whether it will remain a dominant force in the awards landscape, potentially boosting returning contender Ebon Moss-Bachrach.
Ford’s nomination comes after narrowly missing an Emmy nod the previous year, when the award in his category went to Moss-Bachrach for his role in “The Bear.” The 2025 Primetime Emmy Awards, where Ford received his nomination, took place on September 12, 2025, with shows like “Severance,” “Hacks,” and “Adolescence” leading nominations across categories.
As of the April 2026 predictions, Ford is positioned as a strong contender for overdue recognition from the Television Academy, with his work in “Shrinking” representing some of his finest television performances to date. The nomination highlights a growing emphasis on nuanced disability storytelling in television, particularly through Ford’s depiction of Parkinson’s disease.
