CBS All Access Wants Emmys For Star Trek: Discovery
2 min readCBS All Access has sent out a screener set of the first season of Star Trek: Discovery to the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences in hopes of placing the show on the Emmy Awards ballot.

But that’s not all. CBS All Access is also interested in Creative Arts Emmys. Proposed are:
- Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series: James Frain as Sarek
- Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series: Rainn Wilson as Harry Mudd
- Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series: Kenneth Mitchell as Kol
- Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series: Jayne Brook as Katrina Cornwell
