Native Son Awards 2026.

Congratulations to the actor’s actor.

Your performances are a master class in main character energy. Case in point: Seth Milchick in the Apple TV+ series Severance for which you became the first Black and openly q***r actor to win a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.

Thank you for dreaming big and reminding us that there is still history to be made by playing our roles with passion and excellence.

We can’t wait to celebrate you and our 10th Anniversary.
