Connor Storrie, known for his portrayal of Ilya Rozanov in Heated Rivalry, has earned his very first Emmy nomination. But it’s not for the hockey drama series — instead, the 26-year-old snagged a nomination for guest starring on Saturday Night Live.
Variety reported that, despite being acquired by HBO Max for the U.S., Heated Rivalry was ineligible for the Emmy Awards since it’s funded by the Canadian company Bell Media. But that didn’t stop the Television Academy from recognizing Storrie.
Storrie is nominated for Outstanding Guest Actor In A Comedy Series, “for his excellent work as Host of SNL's February 28 episode,” NBC wrote. Featuring musical guest Mumford & Sons, Storrie’s episode included cameos from Team USA’s Olympic hockey champions, as well as Storrie’s Heated Rivalry co-star Hudson Williams. NBC called the episode “an instant classic.”
“No one deserved this more than he did,” one fan commented on an Instagram post from Variety. “I’m bursting with pride for him.”
“Why am I crying as if this was my best friend being nominated?” Another fan joked in a comment on SNL's Instagram post.
During Storrie’s opening monologue on SNL, the actor reflected on what it meant to him to host an episode.
"I've only technically been a professional actor for like six months now," Storrie said. "But on the other hand, I've been preparing for this my entire life since I was a 12-year-old obsessed with acting.”
Storrie is nominated in the category alongside Michael J. Fox, Brett Goldstein, Hamish Linklater, Christopher McDonald, and Rob Reiner, who was nominated posthumously.
“[The nominees’] creativity and talent remind us why television remains one of our most powerful art forms,” Cris Abrego, Television Academy chair, said on Wednesday morning. “While these nominations recognize individual achievement, they also celebrate the collaborative spirit that defines our industry. Every nomination today is a result of countless people coming together to create work that moves us, entertains us, and, above all, inspires us.”
Storrie recently appeared for a guest star arc in season 19 of Criminal Minds: Evolution. The arc comes ahead of Heated Rivalry’s second season, which is set to begin filming this August.
“We’re filming this summer,” Storrie said when The Perfect Magazine asked when the next season would be. “So I don’t know how long you gotta wait after that. But it’s coming.”
The Emmy Awards, hosted by Mariska Hargitay, will air live on NBC and Peacock on Monday, Sept. 14 at 8 p.m. ET.
