The NFL quarterback and the popular actress are both in the race for major awards. Josh Allen has received fresh recognition after a successful football season, while Hailee Steinfeld is being honored for her recent movie role. Fans of both stars are talking about these nominations across social media. But what exactly are these awards? Who nominated them? When and where did this all take place? The full story includes every important detail about how both Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld stepped back into the spotlight. Josh Allen nominated for two ESPY awards after standout season On June 30, 2025, the news outlets reported that Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, 29 years old was nominated for an award at the ESPY Awards for two of the biggest categories, Best NFL Player and Best Male Athlete. ESPY Awards represent standout athletes in sports every year and are conducted by ESPN. This year's award ceremony will take place in Los Angeles, California, on July 10, 2025, and fan voting is open until July 9th on the ESPN website.

Josh Allen, who has a history of being able to not only manage the game, but to also perform under pressure, and consistently deliver elite performance, played well enough to be awarded NFL MVP at the NFL Honors on February 6, 2025. Josh Allen entered the offseason with a six-year contract extension signed worth $330 million with $250 million guaranteed, making a splash as one of the largest contracts in NFL history.

Dan Bucatinsky details his cherished bond with ‘Hacks' co-stars Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder
The curtain has closed on another season of 'Hacks.' Dan Bucatinsky, who plays Rob, the executive producer of 'Late Night with Deborah Vance,' on the comedy/drama, is getting candid on wrapping Season 4 — and the best part of filming the Max series. 'It was the relationship that I was able to form with Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder,' the actor, 59, exclusively told The Post at the 2025 Astra Awards. 'That friendship is one that I will cherish. Being able to get to know them off camera, then get to play with them on camera, was a dream.' 9 Dan Bucatinsky in 'Hacks.' Max 'So much of my job on that show was playing the guy whose job it was to wrangle these two forces,' Bucatinsky explained. 'I'm a dad of two, so I was playing dad a little bit on the show as well. But the gift really was being part of that community that felt very strong both behind the scenes and in front of the camera.' The show follows the friendship between Smart, 73, who stars as legendary Las Vegas comic Deborah Vance, and comedy writer Ava Daniels, who is played by Einbinder, 30. 'They move very, very fast, and there is so much material being shot, and they are shooting multiple episodes at the same time,' he explained to the Post. 9 Dan Bucatinsky as Rob in 'Hacks.' Max As for their downtime, the 'Scandal' alum and his costars 'would hang out in this little greenroom area' by their chairs. 'We would talk. We would keep each other warm,' he recalled. 'We would go get tea. We would go get snacks. We would ask each other advice about everything. Recommendations of movies and documentaries and doctors. And talk about our kids and our pets. And it was really an opportunity in between scenes to really get to know one another.' 'Hacks' has been renewed for Season 5, with Smart recently expressing why she thinks it's a good time to wrap up Deborah Vance's story. 9 Dan Bucatinsky shares behind the scenes photos of shooting Season 4 of 'Hacks.' danbucatinsky/Instagram 9 Dan Bucatinsky behind the scenes of 'Hacks.' danbucatinsky/Instagram 'I think we've pretty much decided that five seasons is [it], and I think that would feel right,' she told E! News earlier this month. 'You never want to overstay your welcome.' Smart's portrayal earned her three consecutive Emmys for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, two Golden Globe Awards for Best Actress in a Television Series Musical or Comedy and three SAG Awards for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series. Bucatinsky, meanwhile, also has another onscreen role in mind. 9 Dan Bucatinsky posted videos to Instagram from his time shooting Season 4. danbucatinsky/Instagram 9 Dan Bucatinsky while shooting 'Hacks.' danbucatinsky/Instagram 'I want to play a villain,' he told The Post. 'I want to play a criminal, a villain or a cop. Maybe not a cop that is a criminal or a villain, but why not?' For 'The Comeback' alum, he would love to star opposite in a criminal cop thriller with a handful of A-listers. 'I loved working with Corey Hawkins so much on '24: Legacy.' I'd love to work with him again. But Lisa Kudrow has been a friend and partner of mine for 20 years, so I always love working with her again,' Bucatinsky detailed. 'I've really been lucky to work with a lot of great, strong women, and I really hope that continues because I am a fan of so many. Kristen Bell. I'd love to work with Kristen.' 9 Tom Hanks as Ben Bradlee and Meryl Streep as Kay Graham in 'The Post.' 20th Century Fox Licensing/Merchandising / Everett Collection Top-notch craft service tables are important to him, too. And his favorite was on 'The Post,' which was directed by Steven Spielberg. 'I think that he managed to make an unbelievable craft service that I had never seen before,' he said of Spielberg on set of the 2017 film that told the story of The Washington Post exposing the Pentagon Papers. 'It was like being in a restaurant every single night and every single day and at lunch! It was exciting. And you'd expect nothing less from Spielberg and Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks. It better be good.' These days, when Bucatinksy isn't acting in a hit television show, he's watching Bravo's 'Housewives' franchise. 9 Miranda Otto and Dan Bucatinsky in '24: Legacy.' ©20thCentFox/Courtesy Everett Collection 9 Dan Bucatinsky at the 2025 Astra TV Awards.

'Every season is an opportunity for a new piece of chemistry that either will work or it will explode and I'm sure they are hoping it will explode,' he stated. 'I'm a big fan. I've watched for years, and years, and years. I'm friends with some of them. I'm friends with Garcelle. So, I'm rooting for the franchise, and I'm rooting for all the women.'
