AWARDS CIRCUIT COLUMN LOGO You want to feel good about Hollywood, or even the world, at the moment? Go over to Luke Tennie’s Instagram account. It’s OK, I’ll wait.

You’re back! So did you see the post where Tennie created a montage of his characters: Sean on “Shrinking,” Cruz on “The Pitt” and Dom on “Abbott Elementary”? “Grateful,” Tennie wrote.

My favorite part came in the comments, with his co-stars and producers out in force. From “Abbott Elementary” co-showrunner Patrick Schumacker: “You are the king of Warner Bros.!” From “The Pitt” star Tyler Dearden: “The King of the Warner Bros. lot!” His “Shrinking” colleague Jessica Williams: “Incredible incredible! Sooo proud of you!” Ted McGinley: “This kid BRINGS it!!” Patrick Ball: “This is so legend.” And so on.
