Following a distinguished four-decade career, late actor Treat Williams has been posthumously nominated for an Emmy Award in the category of Best Supporting Actor. Williams earned the nomination for his portrayal of CBS head Bill Paley in the FX Productions series 'Feud: Capote vs. The Swans'. Tragically, Williams passed away in a motorcycle accident on June 12, 2023.

In a heartfelt statement released at the time of his death, 20th Century TV and FX lauded Williams' legacy of remarkable performances in both film and television. Known for his kindness and camaraderie, Williams' absence is profoundly felt across Hollywood.

Williams' posthumous Emmy nomination is viewed as an opportunity for his family and peers to celebrate his enduring contributions to the craft of acting.
