Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys Just Scored Five Emmy Nominations Combined

Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys are the definition of a power couple, and this year’s Emmy nominations prove it. The pair, who met on the set of“The Americans”in 2012, picked up five nominations combined. Russell is nominated for her work on“The Diplomat”along with an executive producer nod, while Rhys earned acting nominations for“Widow’s Bay”and“The Beast in Me,”plus his own EP recognition. In other words, one Brooklyn Heights household might need a bigger trophy shelf.

The part fans keep bringing up is Russell’s Emmy history. She’s been nominated six times and has never won. That’s the kind of stat that makes an entire fandom hold its breath on awards night. Rhys, for his part, has said awards shows feel unnatural and admitted he still wonders how he’s getting away with his success. It’s a refreshingly humble attitude from a couple who could easily coast on their acclaim.

Between raising three kids, living a quiet life in Brooklyn, and quietly delivering some of the best performances on television, Russell and Rhys have built something rare in Hollywood: a relationship that works, a family that comes first, and a résumé that speaks for itself. So what are the odds they both walk away winners Sunday night? Sound off in the comments.
