Patrick Ball found out he was nominated for an #Emmy while filming a scene for #ThePitt:

"I was shooting a scene this morning at 6 a.m., and then I wrapped my scene, I walked off, and just as we were wrapping my scene, I guess the nominations came out. And Scott [Gemmill] put everything on hold for about 20 minutes, and we all gathered around the central hub and he made the announcement. And he read off what was an unbelievably long list of people who had just gotten nominated for an Emmy, and we all got to celebrate together. There were a number of us who did not get our names [said] out loud today in the meeting that very easily could have, and maybe should have, but a lot of people have contributed to the success of the show, and a lot of those people are being celebrated today. And I’m very honored to be among them."

#ThePitt guest actors Brittany Allen and Jeff Kober landed Emmy nominations by self-submitting after HBO Max did not include them as part of the streamer's official submissions.

“A week ago I couldn’t get a good agent if my life depended on it, and in the last hour I think that’s already starting to change,” Allen tells @ByClaytonDavis. "These nominations and accolades from the industry have credit. It’s not always easy for somebody to stand behind an artist based purely on their own belief in them... “I tend to do well when I’m in an underdog position, and this business gives you plenty of opportunities to be put in that position."
