Jewish stars (and actors who play them) were honored with nominations for the 71st Annual Emmy Awards, which will air Sept. 22 on Fox. 

Michael Douglas, Eugene Levy, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Natasha Lyonne were nominated in the comedy series lead acting categories.

Honorary Tribe member Rachel Brosnahan of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” also picked up a nomination in the comedy series lead acting category. The Amazon series received 20 nominations, including outstanding comedy series and repeat honors for Alex Borstein and writer-directors Dan and Amy Sherman-Palladino. The show is nominated alongside “Veep,” “Barry,” “Schitt’s Creek” and “Russian Doll.” 

“The Kominsky Method’s” Alan Arkin, “Barry’s” Henry Winkler and Sarah Goldberg, and “Ozark’s” Julia Garner got nods in the supporting categories, and Adam Sandler and Maya Rudolph were singled out for their respective guest appearances on “Saturday Night Live” and “The Good Place.”
