All 24 ‘Fellow Travelers’ Emmy submissions: Queer historical drama enters Matt Bomer, Jonathan Bailey …
“Fellow Travelers” is a historical fiction limited series that tells the story of queer men living through tumultuous times for the LGBTQIA+ community in 20th century America, from the Lavender Scare that prompted a witch hunt against queer individuals in government, to the AIDS crisis that killed many in the community before the government responded. Now the show is an Emmy contender 24 times across 19 categories. Scroll down to see its complete list of Emmy submissions, from Best Limited Series to Best Sound Mixing.
Since “Fellow Travelers” aired from October to December 2023, it has already made the rounds during the fall and winter awards season. Among its accolades, it received Golden Globe noms for Best TV Movie/Limited Series and Best Movie/Limited Actor for Matt Bomer. It also received Critics Choice bids for Best Limited Series and for Bomer’s lead performance, in addition to winning Best Movie/Limited Supporting Actor for Jonathan Bailey. Bomer was additionally nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award. Then in 2024 “Travelers” was recognized with a Television Critics Association nomination for Best Achievement in Movies, Miniseries or Specials. And it picked up a prestigious Peabody Award.
However, for most of those awards “Travelers” didn’t have to face standout 2024 limited series like “True Detective: Night Country,” “Fargo,” “Ripley” and “Baby Reindeer.” So it remains to be seen how it will be remembered by Emmy voters amid such stiff competition. But Emmy voting did take place during June, Pride Month, so perhaps the added focus on queer media and history spurred voters to mark it on their ballots.
