‘Agatha All Along’s Kathryn Hahn Lands Golden Globe Nomination

by

As a seasoned movie reviewer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say that “Agatha All Along” has been one of the most delightful surprises in recent memory. Kathryn Hahn‘s performance as Agatha Harkness is nothing short of extraordinary, and it’s no wonder she’s received a well-deserved Golden Globe nomination.

Agatha All Along keeps breaking boundaries set by Marvel Studios, with Kathryn Hahn’s mesmerizing portrayal of the title character garnering a significant nomination for an award. Despite doubts that the series was essential following the success of WandaVision, it has emerged as one of Disney+’s most watched shows. The series was praised for its distinctive mood and narrative, as well as its talented ensemble headed by Hahn. Now, Marvel is enjoying the benefits of approving Agatha All Along as awards season kicks off.

It was announced on Monday morning that Kathryn Hahn has been nominated for a Golden Globe in the ‘Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy TV Series’ category for ‘Agatha All Along’. She’s up against some tough competition, with Jean Smart from ‘Hacks’, Quinta Brunson from ‘Abbott Elementary’, Ayo Edebiri from ‘The Bear’, Selena Gomez from ‘Only Murders in the Building’, and Kristen Bell from ‘Nobody Wants This’. Although Hahn may not be the frontrunner to win when the ceremony happens on January 5, 2025, fans can still appreciate that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is receiving some high-level recognition this season. In 2024, Marvel Studios took a break from releasing live-action films and scaled back their streaming content, which led to outstanding results.

Hahn has often been acknowledged for her exceptional work in television during award seasons. Previously, she received recognition for her roles in shows like Transparent, WandaVision, and Tiny Beautiful Things. Although she hasn’t yet taken home the prestigious Emmy Award, Agatha All Along offers her another opportunity to boost her nomination tally. With a Golden Globe nod, there’s a chance she could receive Emmy recognition again, but this time it might be more challenging than before, as she was previously nominated in the supporting actress category and now is up for lead.

Is Another Season of ‘Agatha All Along’ Coming Soon?

One of the more fascinating parts of the Agatha All Along nomination is that it may point toward the potential future of the series. Since it was not considered for the Limited Series category, and instead chose to compete against award-winning shows like The Bear and Hacks, it leaves the door open for another season of the MCU series. Of course, there is no official indication from Marvel that this is the case, and the show’s star herself has been shutting down speculation for a potential Season 2. Golden Globe nominee Kathryn Hahn is quite satisfied with how Agatha All Along ends her character’s storyline:

Although Billy/Wiccan isn’t her biological son, there remains a glimmer of hope for her that she might be able to fulfill for him what she could not for Nicky. I believe they make an excellent pair. To be honest, I adore Joe Locke deeply, and only time will tell what lies ahead. In my opinion, this was a moving and fitting farewell to the remarkable character I had the pleasure of portraying.

Interestingly, WandaVision, for which Hahn was Emmy-nominated, fell under the Limited Series category. Although it’s not getting a second season, many anticipate that Paul Bettany’s upcoming Vision Quest series will continue the storyline from the show starring Elizabeth Olsen. This means Agatha All Along won’t be competing in the same Emmy category, but it could boost its chances for a Season 2 renewal. Given Marvel Studios’ tendency to further develop popular characters like Agatha, it’s unlikely they would abandon her entirely. After all, the series introduced several beloved comic book characters.
