This is the first Emmy nomination for Arkapaw, a new member of the ASC, for her work on the superhero series Loki.
Honored this year for his work on How I Met Your Father, this marks Baum’s 11th Emmy nomination, previously recognizes for the series Gary Unmarried, 2 Broke Girls, Mike & Molly (for which he won in 2015), The Millers, Superior Donuts and Will & Grace (for which he won in 2018).
Berkofsky earned two previous Emmy nominations for her series Insecure, in 2919 and 2020, as well as an ASC Award nomination last year.
Doering-Powell earned a previous nomination for his series grown-ish in 2021, as well as two nominations for the series Everybody Hates Chris, in 2006 and 2009.
This is a second nomination for Held, a new member of the ASC and recognized this year for The Andy Warhol Diaries. He previously won an Emmy in 2008 for the non-fiction program Carrier.
Nominated this year for Moon Knight, Middleton won an Emmy in 2020 for the series Watchmen. He earned previous nominations for Game of Thrones in 2015 and 2016.
Morgan’s nomination this year for The Conners brings his total Emmy nods in this category to an even 20 — previously winning seven times for Home Improvement (1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1998, 1999) and three times for The Ranch (2017, 2019, 2020).
This is Mullen’s fourth nomination for his work on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, for which he took home the Emmy in 2019 and 2020. He has also earned three ASC Award nominations for his work on the show.
This is the 12th nomination in this category for Silver. Recognized this year for his work on B Positive, he previously won three times for Two and a Half Men (2007, 2011 and 2012).
