Krys Marshall has the sweetest plus one at the Critics Choice Awards 2026.
Indeed, the Paradise actress stepped out at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica Jan. 4 sporting a baby bump, confirming she is pregnant and expecting her second child with husband Ted Dolan.
The 36-year-old—who welcomed her first baby with her husband in 2023—was beaming on the red carpet for the Chelsea Handler-hosted ceremony in a tight, long-sleeved champagne-colored gown, hugging her bump to accentuate the super exciting news.
And it won’t be the only time during the evening Krys will put her bump on display during the event, which is set to air live on E! and USA networks. The For All Mankind alum’s Hulu series—which sees her play Nicole Robinson alongside Sterling K. Brown—is up for Best Drama alongside The Pitt, Alien: Earth, The Diplomat, Pluribus, Severance and Task.
Whoever the Critics choose for the winner, the stars have emphasized it is an honor to just be nominated. While Krys used the opportunity to share some exciting personal news, The Pitt’s Patrick Ball—who is also up for Best Supporting Actor—emphasized that it is “really crazy” to be among the stars.
“It’s my first time on TV,” he joked to E! News’ Justin Sylvester during an interview on the red carpet. “Eighteen months ago I was in Brooklyn working three jobs.”
Indeed, Patrick, 36, couldn’t stress enough how special it was for him to not only be nominated for his role, but simply be in the series alongside Noah Wyle.
“I grew up watching Noah Wyle on TV,” he continued. “We grew up watching ER in my household. My mom is an ER nurse, my dad is a paramedic so we would sit down and watch that show every week.”
As he put it, “I thought I had missed the boat so that I’m standing here at the Critics Choice Awards is just crazy.”
