New source coverage confirms that Michael J. Fox has received the nomination for outstanding guest actor in a comedy series at the 78th Emmy Awards, recognising his guest-starring turn on Apple TV's "Shrinking". The nod matters because it caps a notable comeback for an actor who had largely stepped away from performing, and it takes his career tally to 18 Emmy nominations.

Fox withdrew from acting around 2020 after a Parkinson's disease diagnosis that affected his memory and speech, ending decades of near-continuous work. His return via "Shrinking" last year marks a significant milestone, signalling his willingness and readiness to work again despite the health challenges posed by his condition.
