Charles Melton scored his first Emmy nomination Wednesday, getting a nod in the best supporting actor in a limited series category for his work in season two of Netflix’s Beef.
The 35-year-old actor is, of course, over the moon, but it’s far from the only big thing happening in his life today. “I just got my daughter to sleep, which I’m very, very excited about. We’re in this phase where there’s a sleep regression,” he tells The Hollywood Reporter on a call from Paris shortly after his nomination.
Between his daughter adjusting to the time difference and his Emmy nomination, he’s already feeling like a winner for the day. He adds, “Alls to say is holy shit, how exciting.”
Melton, who plays Austin in the hit series, went into the day feeling hopeful about the prospect of being nominated. “Anyone that says they don’t think about the possibility of some sort of recognition as close to the announcements of recognition, when you’re in this arena where you’re being talked about…” he says. “It’s hard to not be hopeful and thoughtful and the possibility of what could be.”
