Emmy episode analysis: Bob Odenkirk picks up garbage and cries over ‘Expenses’ (Gold Derby)

Bob Odenkirk reaped his third consecutive Emmy nomination as Best Drama Actor for playing attorney Jimmy McGill in AMC’s Better Call Saul. He’s also competing for the third time as a producer on the series. He contends for the third season episode “Expenses.” Can Odenkirk win for this episode? Let’s take a look at the pros and cons:

Pros: Odenkirk displays a wide range of emotions in this installment, from showing off his comedy chops, to trying to sell commercial spots, to shedding tears over his feud with Charles, to a big final reveal. If episodes still matter at the Emmys, he’s got a great submission. With last year’s winner Rami Malek (Mr. Robot) out of the running, the field is wide open for a new champ. Odenkirk’s two previous nominations and his standing as an actor’s actor make him an overdue contender. Known primarily for his comedy work, Odenkirk has proven himself a strong dramatic actor, beginning with Breaking Bad and culminating in Better Call Saul. He’s even got a role in Steven Spielberg‘s upcoming film The Papers. Emmy voters may feel inclined to reward his giant leap forward as a performer.

Cons: Despite numerous nominations, Better Call Saul has yet to win a single Emmy. Is it still living in Breaking Bad’s shadow? Malek’s absence leaves this category without a clear frontrunner. Odenkirk could compete with multi-nominated yet Emmy-less Kevin Spacey (House of Cards) or Liev Schreiber (Ray Donovan) for the overdue vote, not to mention previous winners Sterling K. Brown (This Is Us) and Anthony Hopkins (Westworld) and first-time contender Milo Venitmiglia (This Is Us). With so many viable candidates, can Odenkirk garner enough votes for the win?
