Kevin Costner and Kelly Reilly achieved milestones in their careers, and the news has Yellowstone fans celebrating them.
In late February, the Critics Choice Association released their contenders for the third annual Critics Choice Super Awards. As the awards gave nods to “the most popular, fan-obsessed genres across both television and movies,” like Top Gun: Maverick and Stranger Things, both Kevin and Kelly received nods for their work on the Paramount Network show. According to an official press release, Kevin is up for Best Actor in an Action Series, Limited Series or Made-for-TV Movie while Kelly is in the running for Best Actress in an Action Series, Limited Series or Made-for-TV Movie.
When news broke about their exciting nominations, the show made sure to congratulate them on its official Instagram. “Congratulations to @kevincostnermodernwest and @mzkellyreilly on their @criticschoice Super Awards nominations! #YellowstoneTV,” read the caption on February 25 alongside photos of their characters, John and Beth Dutton.
But it wasn’t just the hit drama that recognized the TV father-daughter duo’s achievement. Kevin posted his own announcement on Instagram the same day, during which he shared his gratitude. “Thank you to the @ccsuperawards for the nomination 🤠,” he wrote.
When Yellowstone fans learned that both Kevin and Kelly garnered acclaim for their work on the Taylor Sheridan-led series, it didn’t take long for them to take to social media with heartfelt messages.
“Congrats! Truly hope they both win! Very deserving! About time Yellowstone and the actors are getting the recognition they deserve!” one person wrote on the show’s Instagram comments section. “About time Hollywood recognize these amazing actors. This show and crew have been shunned for way too long. Well deserved,” another agreed. “Congratulations to both Kelly and Kevin they both deserve to win and I’m sure this will be the year they take the award home ❤️,” a different user added.
Kevin and Kelly’s recent nominations will only add to the success of their work on Yellowstone over the past five years. As viewers may know, Kevin recently won a Golden Globe for his portrayal of the Dutton patriarch. While he couldn’t physically attend the ceremony, he did share his reaction on TikTok upon receiving the trophy.
So, will the Yellowstone cast members give acceptance speeches? We’ll have to tune in on March 16 to hear who the winners are!
