Michelle Pfeiffer didn’t set out to be one of this year’s Emmy contender overachievers. It was simply a bit of serendipity — and unexpected timing — that led her Paramount+ drama “The Madison” and Apple TV comedic hour-long “Margo’s Got Money Troubles” to come out around the same time.

Add in the recent Prime Video original holiday movie “Oh. What. Fun,” also eligible this Emmy season, and that puts Pfeiffer in the unique position of having projects on three different streamers simultaneously eligible in the drama, comedy and limited series/anthology/TV movie acting categories.
