T10 WHATS UP! February 24 - March 2, 2019 navigate the ups and downs of friendship, romance and office politics. Ana Ortiz ("Ugly Bet- ty") stars as FBI behavioral sci- entist Dr. Susan Sampson, Chase's best friend. Cohan's fellow "Walking Dead" alum Tyler James Williams ("Every- body Hates Chris") stars as rogue NSA analyst Edgar Standish, who once hacked the State Department's main- frame. Vir Das ("Shivaay," 2016) plays FBI agent Jai Datta, and Josh Hopkins ("Quanti- co") rounds out the main cast as Ray Prince, Chase's FBI col- league. In addition to the talented cast, choreographed fight se- quences and explosive special effects, the show also boasts a visually stunning backdrop: Prague. That's a far cry from the gritty settings of Cohan's most famous gig to date: AMC's "The Walking Dead." The actress is best known for her role as Maggie Greene in the horror series, and interest- ingly, another of her "Walking Dead" co-stars steps into the spotlight on ABC on the very same night as the "Whiskey Cavalier" premiere. Danai Gurira, who plays Mi- chonne in "The Walking Dead," could become part of Oscars history as one of the stars of the very first superhe- ro film nominated for a Best Picture Academy Award, "Black Panther" (2018). Gurira portrays Wakandan warrior Okoye in the Marvel Cinemat- ic Universe film, which earned seven Oscar nominations in all, including nods for Best Costume Design, Best Original Score and Best Original Song. "Black Panther" faces stiff competition in the prestigious Best Picture category as it con- tends with Spike Lee's "BlacK- kKlansman," the rock bio "Bo- hemian Rhapsody," the period comedy-drama "The Favou- rite," the '60s-era drama "Green Book," Netflix's groundbreaking "Roma," the romantic remake "A Star Is Born" and the comedy-drama biography "Vice." Other high-profile nomina- tions include Lee's first nomi- nation for Best Director for "BlacKkKlansman." Pawel Pawlikowski ("Cold War"), Yorgos Lanthimos ("The Fa- vourite"), Alfonso Cuarón ("Roma") and Adam McKay ("Vice") are also in the run- ning in the Best Director cate- gory. The ever-popular acting cat- egories feature a diverse mix of performers. Christian Bale ("Vice"), Bradley Cooper ("A Star Is Born"), Willem Dafoe ("At Eternity's Gate"), Rami Malek ("Bohemian Rhapso- dy") and Viggo Mortensen ("Green Book") have earned Best Actor nods. Yalitza Apari- cio ("Roma"), Glenn Close ("The Wife"), Olivia Colman ("The Favourite"), Lady Gaga ("A Star Is Born") and Melissa McCarthy ("Can You Ever For- give Me?") are up for this year's Best Actress Oscar. "Roma" and "The Favourite" earned the most nominations with 10 each, followed by "A Star Is Born" and "Vice," which each earned eight Oscar nods. A full list of Academy Award nominees can be found online at oscar.go.com. Tune in to ABC to watch the 91st annual Academy Awards to find out who will walk away with the coveted golden statu- ettes on Sunday, Feb. 24.
