William H. Macy, Shawn Hatosy and Troy Kotsur are established actors with long track records in television and film, each nominated here for an honorary award tied to a particular current or recent role. Cedric the Entertainer, Jason Ritter and Natalie Alyn Lind are also being honoured, reflecting the ceremony's mix of veteran performers and rising talent.
