Former President Barack Obama Wins Another Emmy, Beating Out Morgan Freeman For Outstanding Narrator

Morgan Freeman might have some fierce competition as former President Barack Obama beat him to the Emmy award for outstanding narrator.

The 44th U.S. president won the award for his voicework in Working: What We Do All Day. In addition to Freeman in Our Universe, Obama was up against Mahershala Ali in Chimp Empire, Angela Bassett in Good Night Oppy and Pedro Pascal in Patagonia: Life on the Edge of the World.

Working: What We Do All Day is a docu-series that follows the lives of 12 people working in the home care, tech and hospitality industries. It was inspired by Studs Terkel’s nonfiction book called Working: People Talk About What They Do All Day and How They Feel About What They Do.

Last year, Obama won an Emmy for Outstanding Narrator for his voiceover in Our Great National Parks. The last former president to win an Emmy was Dwight D. Eisenhower, for his encouragement and contribution to the use of television.

Obama recently released his list of favorite movies of 2023 – including several produced by his own company.
