Gold Derby can exclusively reveal that Reese Witherspoon is entering “The Morning Show” episode “Love Island” as her 2024 Emmy Award submission for Best Drama Actress. “Love Island” debuted on October 4, 2023, and is the fifth episode of the Apple TV+ drama’s third season.
In “Love Island,” the audience is shown what led Bradley (Witherspoon) to her fateful decisions during the January 6 uprising in Washington, D.C. The episode was written by Zander Lehmann and directed by Stacie Passon.
Witherspoon is a six-time Emmy Award nominee and a past winner as executive producer of “Big Little Lies.” She has never won an acting Emmy. For “The Morning Show,” Witherspoon has received two Best Drama Actress nominations thus far. For this 2024 contest, Witherspoon is competing against her fellow co-star Jennifer Aniston (“The Morning Show”), as well as Carrie Coon (“The Gilded Age”), Anna Sawai (“Shogun”) and Imelda Staunton (“The Crown”). The 2023 category winner was Sarah Snook for the final season of “Succession.”
