This morning, actor Fred Willard and director Lynn Shelton earned posthumous Emmy nominations, for their respective contributions to ABC sitcom Modern Family and Hulu drama Little Fires Everywhere.
A beloved comedic talent with a 54-year screen career, Willard was previously nominated three times for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series, for his turn as Hank in Everybody Loves Raymond. Part of the Modern Family cast since 2009, Willard died in May, after succumbing to cardiac arrest. The actor was 86 years old.
Equally esteemed within the communities of film and television, Shelton directed four episodes out of Little Fires Everywhere‘s eight, landing her first-ever nod for season finale, “Find A Way.” Renowned for indie films like Your Sister’s Sister, as well as her wide-ranging efforts in television—on series including Dickinson, Glow, Fresh Off the Boat, The Good Place and Mad Men—Shelton also passed away in May, at age 54, due to a blood disorder.
