Natasha Lyonne, who spent the first part of her life in Great Neck, was nominated for outstanding lead actress in a comedy for her role of Charlie Cale in Peacock’s “Poker Face.”
This marks Lyonne’s fifth nomination for the award. In 2019, she was up for three of the golden statues for her work as a producer, writer, and the star of the hit Netflix show “Russian Doll.”
Before that, she was nominated for outstanding guest actress for her 2014 stint in “Orange Is The New Black.”
Joining the exclusive list is Uniondale High School alum Sheryl Lee Ralph.
Ralph is up for outstanding supporting actress in a comedy series for her performance as Barbara Howard in ABC’s “Abbott Elementary,” the same category and role she won the Emmy for in 2022.
She was also recently selected to receive a star on the Walk of Fame.
