The eight-episode season might be entered for outstanding comedy series, with 15 solid members vying within the supporting actor and actress races and 4 additional performers submitted in guest acting categories.

The episode will serve because the official submission for each directing, representing Jake Szymanski, and writing, representing Anthony King.<\/p>\n
\n\tAmong the many ensemble standouts are Alex Bonifer, who plays Dougie Jr., the heir apparent to the faux hot sauce empire; Jim Woods because the \u201cally\u201d and enthusiastically supportive Jimmy; and LaNisa Renee Frederick, whose deadpan comic timing is among the many season\u2019s most consistent pleasures. <\/p>\n
\n\tOn the guest acting side, Grammy winner Sia, who portrays an exaggerated version of herself, will compete for what can be her first profession acting nomination. Also submitted in guest acting is Lisa Gilroy, known to comedy audiences for her work on Dropout\u2019s \u201cGame Changer\u201d and \u201cMake Some Noise\u201d along with Jarrad Paul and Ian Roberts.<\/p>\n
