Emmy nomination
Fishburne is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or Movie at the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Thurgood Marshall on Thurgood.
It is rare to be able to both entertain and educate the masses, of all ages, on the distinguished career of one of the most historic figures of our judicial system via a platform like HBO. The fact that the project was screened at the White House last February is a testament to the power and enormity of Justice Marshall, and I plan to share the story of his illustrious life and accomplishments with theater audiences for years to come.
