Emmy Nominee: "I aimed for love, hit AI!"
30 Jul
Summary
- Jeff Hiller received an Emmy nomination for a seven-minute role.
- His character in 'Pluribus' was compared to AI by viewers.
- Hiller previously won an Emmy for 'Somebody Somewhere'.
Jeff Hiller has been nominated for an Emmy for his concise, seven-minute portrayal of Larry in the Apple TV+ series 'Pluribus.' His character, a member of an extraterrestrial hive mind, was intended to convey deep affection for Rhea Seehorn's character, Carol.
Despite Hiller's intention, many viewers perceived his performance as reminiscent of AI, a comparison he found surprising. He noted that the show was filmed before AI became a widespread cultural topic.
This nomination comes after Hiller won an Emmy last year for his role as Joel in HBO's 'Somebody Somewhere.' He humorously commented on his chances of winning, suggesting his acceptance speech would be "Suck it!"
