This is the first win and seventh nomination for Steve Martin. He was previously

nominated individually for 30 Rock (2009) & Only Murders in the Building (2022-24), he was also nominated as part of the ensemble of Only Murders in the Building (2023-24). He wins for his performance as Charles-Haden Savage on Only Murders in the Building

There is always something nice about finally getting to nominated a couple of seasons long performance for the first time for a standout season that person being Steve Martin this year. Having awarded his equally as great co-star Martin Short before it is nice to have Martin win individually for his best seasons work with the shows fourth season.

What I appreciate most about Martin this past year was how his part was effective through great physical comedy but also compelling personal drama as Charles loss of a friend really purpelled his performance making the case feel so personal. Martin not usually an actor we associate with drama performed this many moments beautifully with such a strong heart while also nailing the laugh out loud physical acts of comedy every audience member comfortably associates with the name Steve Martin.

I of course look forward to what Martin will continue to show in future seasons believing his television work to be amongst his career greatest.
