The high-density competition for female actors at the 2024 Emmy’s is striking. In the case of The Bear’s breakout supporting character, Sydney Adamu played by Ayo Edebiri, she won the Emmy last year for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. Now she’s back. This year, Edebiri’s nominated again – but she’s ascended to the Best Actress category. The field of nominees is strong, with her chief rival being Jean Smart for Hacks. Her other competition in this category is Quinta Brunson (Abbott Elementary), Kristen Wiig (Palm Royale), Maya Rudolph (Loot) and Selena Gomez (Only Murders in the Building).

THE BEAR – Review by Susan Granger

Interest in food shows and chef’s stories has grown exponentially, but they primarily focus on haute cuisine. Not The Bear. The first season of this intense FX series on Hulu revolves around the noisy kitchen in a renowned neighborhood restaurant in downtown Chicago. Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) is a James Beard Award-winning young chef, earning Michelin stars for some of the finest restaurants, including Noma and the French Laundry; he was named a Food and Wine ‘Best New Chef’ before he turned 21. But when his older brother Michael commits suicide, he returns home to run his family’s sandwich shop.
