Is it just me, or does the Emmy Awards sometimes feel like the ultimate episode of “Who Forgot to Call the Right People”? Take Andor season 2, for instance—a show bursting at the seams with phenomenal talent, yet somehow, its stellar acting ensemble got sidelined at the Primetime Emmys. Aside from Forest Whitaker snagging a nod for Best Guest Actor, the likes of Diego Luna, Kyle Soller, Denise Gough, and Stellan Skarsgård were glaringly absent from the list. It’s absurd, especially knowing that Elizabeth Dulau’s very first role was as Kleya here—talk about starting with a bang! But, honestly, the biggest grievance has got to be Ben Mendelsohn’s omission. Reprising the villainous Orson Krennic from Rogue One, his “fruitier” and scene-stealing performance truly embodies Star Wars villainy at its finest—the kind that leaves you both awestruck and chuckling at his perfect head bop on Dedra. So, what gives awards shows these days? Are they missing the forest for the Death Star? Dive in with me as we unpack this glaring oversight and celebrate the brilliance Andor truly deserves.
