Four Wisconsin-born actors could add to their awards mantel at this September's Emmy Awards. 

Rachel Brosnahan, Tony Shalhoub, Mark Ruffalo and Bradley Whitford were all nominated for Emmys Tuesday morning, and will be vying for trophies at what will be the first major entertainment awards event since the coronavirus pandemic rewrote the script for just about everything. 

Brosnahan, who was born in Milwaukee and grew up in the Chicago area, collected her third Emmy nomination in as many years for best actress in a comedy series, playing the title character in "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel." She won in 2018, losing out last year to Phoebe Waller-Bridge for "Fleabag." (Brosnahan also collected two Golden Globes in the same category.) 

Shalhoub won the Emmy last year for best supporting actor in a comedy, for playing Brosnahan's flustered father on "Mrs. Maisel." (He'd been nominated the year before as well.) In his past TV life, the Green Bay native collected three Emmys for best actor in a comedy series as the obsessive-compulsive detective Adrian Monk on "Monk." 

Ruffalo, a three-time Oscar nominee born in Kenosha, collected his second acting Emmy nomination Tuesday for playing twin brothers in the HBO limited series "I Know This Much Is True." He's won one Emmy — for best TV movie, as one of the producers of the 2014 HBO adaptation of Larry Kramer's drama "The Normal Heart"; he also earned a nomination for best actor in a miniseries or movie for his performance in the film. 

Whitford, a Madison native best remembered for his co-starring role on "The West Wing," was nominated for best supporting actor in a drama series for "The Handmaid's Tale." He won an Emmy last year — his third overall — for outstanding guest actor for the same role. 

"The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," streamed by Amazon Prime, collected 20 nominations in all; only HBO's epic limited series "Watchmen," with 26, had more. 

Other Emmy nominees with Wisconsin connections included: 

• Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the Milwaukee Bucks legend and cultural commentator, collected his first-ever Emmy nomination, for outstanding narrator for History channel's "Black Patriots: Heroes of the Revolution." 
• Chris Smith, a University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee film grad, earned his fourth nomination as one of the executive producers of "Tiger King: Mayhem, Murder and Madness," up for outstanding documentary or nonfiction series. 
• "Modern Family" maven and University of Wisconsin-Madison alum Steve Levitan didn't get a best-comedy-series nomination for the long-running show's final season, but the series did earn three Emmy nominations, including one for best guest actor for the late Fred Willard. 

The 72nd annual Primetime Emmy Awards will air Sept. 20 on ABC. The format is still up for grabs, but Jimmy Kimmel is set as host.
