Disney s The Mandalorian Emmys Campaign Includes Gina Carano for Supporting Actress
Is Disney pushing for Gina Carano to pick up a Best Supporting Actress nomination for The Mandalorian at this year s Primetime Emmy Awards?

A little over a year ago, during the surreal pre-lockdown weeks where everyone was making end-of-the-world jokes and rigorously scrubbing their hands, fan-favorite comedians Jason Mantzoukas and Andy Daly joined host Scott Aukerman for what would become one of the last in-person
CB!B! recording sessions. Now, exactly 50 Zoom-recorded interview-improv sets later, there’s some gratifying and symbolic bookending for listeners as the two guests return to mark two milestones: 1) the 12-year-running show’s 700th episode, and 2) the famously cautious and hygienically minded Mantzoukas seeing some light at the end of the pandemic tunnel.

For Parks and Recreations final season, Poehler got a reported $50,000 raise for each episode but that s probably because the show was only given a 13-episode order.
She got her big break when she was selected to join the cast of Saturday Night Live as a featured performer in 2001, following which her popularity promoted her to a full-time cast membership during her first season.

In 2019, she made her directorial debut with the Netflix film Wine Country , which she also starred in alongside SNL alums Rachel Dratch, Maya Rudolph and Ana Gasteyer, along with Tina Fey. She is also directing Moxie for Netflix, which is set to debut this year.

Star Wars: The Mandalorian shocked Disney+ viewers with an epic confrontation between Bo-Katan Kryze, Din Djarin, and Moff Gideon before Grogu AKA Baby Yoda was whisked away by his new Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. But the showdown for the Darksaber sets up a major conflict for Mandalore and complicates Bo-Katan s quest to reassert control and rule the various clans on her homeworld. It looks like Bo-Katan will continue to play a role in the series, but actress Katee Sackhoff isn t so sure that will be the case on
