Are the Emmys going to pass over “DTF St. Louis?” No way, José.

The HBO Max limited series is coming through as a major contender for the Primetime Emmy Awards after completing its seven-episode run. And with the campaign season underway, two of its stars are positioning themselves for serious awards consideration.

Variety has learned exclusively that Jason Bateman, who plays local weatherman Clark Forrest, and Linda Cardellini, who plays his dry-witted wife Carol, will be submitted in the supporting actor (limited) and supporting actress (limited) categories, respectively, for Emmy consideration.
