- Allen portrayed terminal cancer patient Roxie Hamler, while Kober played motorcycle mechanic Duke Evans; Tal Anderson also earned a nomination for her role as Becca King.
- Calling the nomination 'a platform,' Allen said she felt validated advocating for her work, while Kober expressed pride in recognition for personally meaningful performance.
- Winners will be announced September 14 at the 78th-annual Emmy Awards, following a record year where 'The Pitt' earned 25 total nominations from the Television Academy.
