"XRCO has always supported my work since I first entered the business seven years ago," Jacky St. James said. "The 'Emma Marx' journey has defined so much of my career and I'm thrilled with the recognition it continues to recieve, especially from such a respected group of critics. I know I'm speaking for the entire cast and crew of the 'Emma Marx' series, that it's a true honor and privilege to be nominated. Thank you, XRCO."
