Sadly, I will not be eligible for the Emmy Guest Actor Competition this year - mine type colleague Kate Aurthur. We premiered in the season 4 premiere of "hacks" (who naturally plays myself), but not enough time is considered eligible.

This may be good because we were the explosive era of cameo stars and cameo shows on TV. This goes hand in hand with another trend I’ve written before: the rise of shows about Hollywood. It was a year of flashing faces on a small screen, and Kate and I were with me.

Ted Sarandos is one of the most unusual people, co-head of Netflix, but on Apple TV+'s "The Studio." I recently asked Sarandos if he was going to have an FYC campaign on the show’s Golden Globes episode and laughed at the idea of ​​the Apple TV+ logo under his image. If he ends up doing this as a lark, trust me.

But hey, maybe it's not that far-fetched. Evan Goldberg, an executive producer on the show, admitted to me that he was impressed by Sarandos’ effortless role – noting that actual actors sometimes get too much in their minds and really work hard to play their own higher versions.

Maybe the Emmys out there should have a great cameo as someone is playing their own category. (If so, it's my property law.) Speaking of "Studio" guest appearances, "hacker" executive producers Paul W. Downs, Lucia Aniello and Jen Statsky also appeared in their own plot in Globes Everion - which must be surreal for Downs. He is a producer who plays a role on "Hacker" and now he is an actor who plays the producer of "The Studio".

"It's a very 'start'," said Downs. After this experience, Downs, Anielo and Stasky then turned around and played "Studio" star and executive producer Seth Rogen as the "hacks" self. There are a lot of unusual on-screen crossovers for two top Emmys comedy competitors.

"It feels like we're all very grateful to each other," said Downs. "Seth has been a supporter of 'hacks' for a long time. We're all friends and it's great to be asked to do his show. Then, he was glad he was happy to be back in grace. We were glad to see comedy making, especially comedy celebrating movies and TV."

What about the real guest competitor? In the comedian, my colleague Clayton Davis keenly played his higher versions of himself in the performances of Ron Howard and Martin Scorsese, while Bryan Cranston is a troubled media monster, all from "the Studio" and then throwing a pair from "The Bear" (Jon Bernthal and John Cena). Among the actresses, he highlights the likes of Sarah Polley from "The Studio", Julianne Nicolson from "Hacks", Jamie Lee Curtis from "The Bear" and Melissa McCarthy from "The Only Murder in the Building".

Last year, both Bernthal and Curtis won. They both can win again. Wait, that still makes them guests? Yes, that's friction. Even though they have repeated over multiple seasons, it has dripped down, which is why they are still guests. But confusing due to this issue, the new TV Academy rules change determines that actors who previously nominated leaders or support roles cannot be nominated as guests, even if they have hardly seen this season. That's why yesterday type Scrolled the "Handmaid's Story" star Alexis Bleidel withdrew her Emmy submission. Because she was nominated for a supporting actress in 2018, she had to compete there this year, even if she really should be attending guests.

The rule has the best intentions: because of how Claire Foy won the Best Actress Emmy, then came the cameo actress Emmy, so she was nicknamed "Queen Elizabeth Reign." This seems strange, we get it.

But there is a better answer. What does "guest" mean when you actually have some parts in the 22 episode season. Now, if you manage to make the episode 50% (threshold) releases less than 50% in Episode 8 season, are you really a guest?

I don't know the answer, except telling you that Kate and I are definitely not guests, but we're ready to take part in that great cameo category. Sarandos, we will bring you down!
