The television industry’s biggest night unfolded Monday at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles, where the 2026 Emmy Awards celebrated the year’s standout performances. Actress Mariska Hargitay, known for her long-running role on “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” hosted the ceremony.
Among this year’s nominees was Colombian actor Carlos Manuel Vesga, recognized for his supporting role in “Pluribus,” an Apple TV+ series from Vince Gilligan, the mastermind behind “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul.” The show imagines a chilling future in which a mysterious virus erases individuality by forcing every human being to share the same thoughts and memories.
Vesga plays Manousos Oviedo, one of only thirteen people on Earth immune to the outbreak. His character, based in Paraguay, embarks on a grueling journey across the Darién Gap—the dense, roadless jungle straddling Colombia and Panama—battling twenty-centimeter (about eight-inch) thorns and constant threats to reach fellow survivors in a world on the brink of collapse.
Elsewhere in the ceremony, British actor Matthew Rhys made headlines by winning Best Actor in a Limited Series or TV movie, adding to a body of work that also includes the suspense series “The Beast in Me,” about a writer investigating her mysterious neighbor.
