The NBC series, in which the star plays Pearson family matriarch, Rebecca, is currently airing Season 4. Mandy appeared to be thrilled as she called out this accomplishment on her Instagram by showing the official nominees in a photo as well as by writing about the happy situation in her caption.

“To be a part of the conversation 4 seasons in AND in such extraordinary company, is pretty mind blowing. Thank you @criticschoice!”
