Why hasn't Maisie Williams been submitted for the Emmys? I know her chances of getting nominated are slim and all but they should have at least submitted her like last year. And why Ciaran Hinds? He was only in two episodes where he didn't get much to do anyway?
Hi!
I assume they might want to keep the number of actors submitted low. Maybe if many are submitted that doesn’t really encourage the judges to pay that much attention to them. Perhaps with a lower number they take more consideration of each, without getting lost in names and performances. Idk. I read some award shows usually overlook the show, if they want each and every actor to be awarded. HBO and D&D wanted to place their cards in the table, and back the work of those more prominently. And of course, by doing that they exclude a lot of other actors. And they make a conscious choice to back those up. And that it’s where this starts to bother me. Clarke instead of Williams, or even Turner?! Idk, I can think of many choices instead of Clarke. And not only that, but how they can submit Harington, they have to know there’s no way he will get a serious consideration. Why waste the spot, when you can give it to someone talented and with more chances of getting a nom. How about Dance, or Gleeson?!
And about Ciaran Hinds. The guest star category, only awards and considers big names, in smaller roles in a show. So, his participation is right in there, and is a good choice to consider it. I don’t feel that’s wrong. I feel that, even though I like the actor, his work on the show was ok, and just that. Usually a guest star spot gives an incredible opportunity for the big name actor to show in a few scenes, their worth as an actor. Diana Rigg got that, Hinds didn’t. Not his fault certainly, but perhaps better chances to show his character, would justify this more.
Thanks!
