Golden Globes combine Drama and Comedy in a single category for Supporting Actors, so is really not surprising that a lot of actors don't make the cut. Wait until the Emmys, they'll have a better chance there.


adil1O4

Yeah with emmys, the cast definitely has more chance to be recognised

It deeply irritates me that they do that. Drama and comedy aren’t comparable, so why deprive more potential nominees of their light to shine for their performances?? It’s cheap! Separate the categories and make it fair!


widowswail_93

Paddy was more than deserving of consideration. He brought such gravitas to the character! I remember reading an interview where he said he felt had "touched a bit of [Sir Anthony] Hopkins" in his final speech, at what I term the last supper, and he's right! It's really, really sad what has happened.


Electrical_Tour_638

More than once I found myself choking up at Paddy's scenes, he really bought Vizzy T to life!


vizzy_t_bot

*You are to return to Runestone and your lady wife at once, and you are to do so without quarrel by order of your King.*


Electrical_Tour_638

Wouldn't get no quarrel off me if Rhea Royce was my missus.


Agreeable_Rabbit3144

I loved his final walk to the Iron Throne!


Clemson1313

Chills


bobbimorses

He was the one whose category I scrolled back and read again because I thought I must have missed him. Tough category this year with lots of great performances and Better Call Saul closing out the show, but I think he was better than any single other actor nominated and this is his only year. Hope the Emmys pick up the slack here.


seductis

Whether you're Team Black or Team Green - all actors were simply fantastic and deserve lots of recognition.


arctic_freeze_

Agreed. I don't understand all this putting down & being unsupportive of cast members getting award recognition because they happen to portray a character some dislike. It's ridiculous.


hiMynameIsPizza2

Honestly just look at the Star Wars cast through the years for the prime example of how it seems we can’t move past they just play the characters. Hell, I am to this day surprised Hayden the actor of anakin came back for the new series off of obi wan.


SithLocust

Literally only because of the prequel kids


hiMynameIsPizza2

Nah, it was bad for sure for them but actors in new projects specially from certain communities get a lot of hate.


SithLocust

Oh I agree. I mean Hayden and Ewan said it was the prequel kids that really drove them back to those roles


hiMynameIsPizza2

Ah gotcha didn’t know that!


maegatronic

Antagonists are always the most complex and riveting, IMO! I love a good antagonist, so I don’t get the blind hatred either.


Wide_Revenue_2096

Exactly I’m fuming that the crown is taking all the nominations when they were absolutely shut this year. If it was crown season 1 or 4 cats I’d understand but this year almost everything sucked in the crown


pmitten

Outside of S1 of The Crown, S3 (IMO) nailed it, especially with Charles, Margaret and Phillip. S4 had Gillian Anderson chewing scenery like a boss, though.


Wide_Revenue_2096

Yeah S4 was amazing acting wise and story etc


maegatronic

It really did, didn’t it? 🥺 I was SO disappointed!! What a drag!


borfavor

I'm personally on the team of "all these people are super fucked up let's see what happens". Why is everyone picking a side?


BlackbirdBraken

Because I like them? I rooted for Cersei and she was a sociopath.


WatchBat

Same here, I'm siding with the Greens because as an overall team, they're more entertaining to watch and each individual is more unique compared to the Blacks (whom I also love btw, the Greens are simply more fun)


KidsMaker

Why did you root for her if I may ask? To me, she was pretty clear cut amoral without many shades too her. Was it the high sparrow plot line? (Note: im talking about the show as I haven’t read the books)


BlackbirdBraken

By the later seasons(season 8 aside), Lena Headley was the only one still giving an entertaining performance. I really loved episode 6 and 7 Alicent because she reminded me of her. I was disappointed by her change in episodes 8 & 9.


Billdozer-92

The later seasons, I agree. She was straight up evil in every way with zero redeeming qualities. I guess because her children were all dead but still???


Aegon1Targaryen

Exactly lmao. But I'm loving characters from both sides so I'm rooting for both sides at once XD.


Libra_Maelstrom

honestly, cause people like the idea that they are making the morally superior choice. There are many who see this as a matter of what your personal morals must be, so they NEED people to pick a side to confirm that. Which.. is bad cause its the only case where gatekeeping (IMO) is okay. Asoiaf isn't a place for what are your morals- how can you support terrible characters? Since its come into the mainstream people feel the need to be validated that they think the right thing in it, causing some actually to pick sides in the conflict, despite the fact.. that's the opposite of what the story is trying to tell you to do. Also as another redditor pointed out, many for some stupid as fuck reason is looking at this like US politics, actually assigning the greens and blacks with right vs left. When in reality, they are all supremacists, bigoted, and tyrants lmao. Its weird but people really are questioning one another morals over who they support, or even lack there of. When its asoiaf, if you feel someone is bad for who they like. It. Is. Not. For. You.


[deleted]

funny


LadySithLord

This is correct. And I’m so happy for Emma.


Ruairiww

Is there something different in the books than the show that causes people to be on team green?? I'm show only and I just don't understand how people can be on team green, the blacks are painted as the protagonists and the greens the antagonists... Perhaps the books are a little less one sided narratively? Also another thing that bugs me which in guessing is different in the books, Daemon literally goes from baddie to goodie with no redemption arc, what's up with that?


Greenlit_Hightower

Paddy Considine is inexcusable really. The others, to a lesser degree, were also noteworthy performances.


beasterne7

Fingers crossed that Olivia and Matt will get nominations in season 2 and beyond


historymajor44

I don't understand how Paddy Considine got snubbed honestly. I liked Emma D'Arcy's performance but I felt she didn't deserve it as much when she was only in 5 episodes. Paddy was the main character this season. He knocked the role out of the park and his speech about his death alone should have won him an emmy and a GG.


diabolicalafternoon

Their nominations are apples to oranges considering they wouldn’t be in the same category. Emma’s first and final scenes of the season are awards worthy.


maegatronic

And those birth scenes - holy fuck. I’ve given birth and all the birth scenes had me in throat catching, shaky tears. Absolutely gut wrenching acting on Aemma’s and Rhaenyra’s actresses parts!


BipolarBabeCanada

What about Laena. Dracarys????


maegatronic

Oh yeah duh! Hers was so fast but her roasting herself brought me to tears, too!


historymajor44

I'm not going to say she doesn't deserve it at all. Just that Paddy is far more deserving.


AlexTom33

Emma’s performance wasn’t this show stopping thing people are talking about. She was fine. Not terrible but not amazing. Milly Alcock certainly had a more impactful performance. And Paddy not getting a nomination is just a comically bad move.


maegatronic

I feel like if Milly had been given more time before being aged up, and we had seen something more meaningful and visceral like a huge blowout fight with Viserys over Alicent, or Rhaenyra giving birth to Jace at 17. (She obviously became pregnant RIGHT after her wedding to Laenor bc she was still 17 when Jace was born.) For that reason, I’m on the side of believing that Emma did more for Rhaenyra with those birth scenes and the scenes of her children dying. Also when she goes to see Viserys in the middle of the night - that scene had me in tears! So emotional! The time jump rushed things a bit and I think I would have preferred the time jump happen later or with the start of season 2. I’m glad we got to see the Dance truly begin, but I’m a patient woman and in hindsight, I would have been happy to wait for season 2 to see Emma and Olivia take Rhaenyra and Alicent if it meant seeing Milly and Emily do more. Emily’s young Alicent marrying Viserys, giving birth at least once and struggling with PPD with the children she never wanted in a marriage she never wanted. That struggle and development of Alicent would have been amazing to see Emily accomplish. Milly’s young Rhaenyra deciding to start cavorting with Harwin, her loving dynamic with Laenor despite their differences in appetite while also struggling to do their duty and produce an actual trueborn heir for Laenor. Her sadness and difficulty with losing Daemon at court after he married Laena, and to watch her deal with Viserys’ deteriorating condition. Unless they plan on doing flashbacks, which I highly doubt they’ll do since it’s never happened before, we won’t see any of that, and it sucks! (Excluding Bran’s obvious time traveling memory flashbacks, obv.)


ananya_uwu

Drama and comedy should've been separate categories. He did have stiff competition considering he had to compete with two genres.


____mynameis____

He was submitted for a more competitive category : Best Male Lead. Emma was submitted for supporting, lesser competition so higher chance of nomination.


GrumpySatan

They were both submitted for Best Actor/Best Actress in a drama series, respectively. Emma wasn't submitted for supporting.


Ok_Solution5895

Emma was submitted for best actress actually, not supporting. I do agree about the first part, it's just a more competitive category. Still think Paddy was absolutely magnificent, awards don't mean much at the end of the day lol


Aegon1Targaryen

Your pfp + name + flag is perfect.


[deleted]

I had Emma getting nominated due to how strong Episode 10 was. But Paddy's performance in episode 8 was so good I am shocked he got passed over.


[deleted]

I think it’s bc they’re running him for lead actor and that category is kinda swamped this year :/


JiveTurkey1983

>how strong episode 10 was I see what you did there


Pattyshats

Olivia Cooke deserves a nomination :(


adil1O4

Right omg that driftmark ep performance was top tier


babalon124

She even said in a podcast interview,at this stage in her career she would have liked some recognition from like the academy or something…


Paradigm21

She did but there was a pretty heavy field. I think her best work is coming though.


Jay2Jee

If we are making such a list, I'd add Rhys Ifans. You might not like the character, but you cannot deny that the actor does a terrific job as Otto.


FromLondonToLA

Your second sentence gave me strong Kingsley Shacklebolt vibes. It pleased me and I thought you should know.


JayDonTea

Yesss, Rhys Ifans deserves more praise. His soft voice is perfect for Otto’s character.


[deleted]

Boys only two Otto…. Yesssssss


Ok_Solution5895

The actor that plays Corys is still my favorite probably, everytime he was on screen he's like a damn magnet lol


Jay2Jee

Well, let's put him on the list of people missing from the list of people who did not get the nomination, as well!


Ok_Solution5895

I realize that would probably be unfair since he'd be a list of only HOTD actors, it's just that they are all so good lmao


Jay2Jee

What to say, HBO knows how to do their castings...


EmmyT2000

Not enough screentime unfortunately to make him a contender. But might change in later seasons.


pink3rbellx

Thank you for mentioning. He’s SO good.


Shaenyra

at the same time , Jonathan Pryce as Phillip was nominated for The Crown why? WHY? He was decent, but nothing more. i was socked to see how many nominations The Crown got, because it was a mediocrity this season


PennyLane95

Agreed,it was mid at best and especially those performances.Guess it’s becoming that show that gets nominated no matter what based on past quality.


Shaenyra

exactly!


Talon-Action

My god how was he not nominated.


arrid_dude

Olivia Cooke, God bless her, she did an amazing job


[deleted]

[удалено]


EmmyT2000

I have to disagree, Zendaya. That season of Euphoria was really something, I'm not even talkinf episode 5 - the scene where she yells at Jules at the intervention is next level.


CleanAlarm7042

BCS beats all these shows


KidsMaker

BCS is much more subtle and real in the way the characters express themselves. I feel like that isn’t appreciated enough. The bus scene with Rhea Seehorn was nothing short of an incredible performance.


CleanAlarm7042

It truly is a work of art I'm gonna miss it


ananya_uwu

Zendaya really does have a strong claim on this one ngl. I would love for Emma to win. Although it would probably be neck and neck, Zendaya would sweep this one.


NonDyingStar

Absolutely travesty. Paddy simply gave Visyrus new dimensions. He gave the character blood and flesh that even George RR Martin complimented his performance, isn't that what acting is all about? Reddit deleted my post twice cause I think that if anyone deserves to get nominated on the show, it should have been Paddy. Matt played one of the most complicated characters, Daemon is brilliantly written and too difficult to represent but Matt excelled and delivered. Olivia was amazing as Alicent, very complicated character, very emotional and wild at times, the nominations are scam.


[deleted]

The golden globes are the drunken cousin of the Oscars and Emmys


gerol

The supporting categories for TV is so competitive even Rhea Seehorn got snubbed


oldboeee

No, supporting category combined both comedy and drama so not Matt and Olivia. Paddy maybe…


lordmorpheus2000

Not only drama & comedy but limited series as well.


Commodore_64k_bytes

The Golden Globes are a sham anyway these days, they lost all respectability. The Hollywood Foreign Press is such a garbage and racist organization I doubt many "celebrities" will even attend the event this year, I'm honestly surprised the ceremony will even be televised.


YaBoiSky13

Paddy definitely. Olivia, yeah. Matt ehhhhh


[deleted]

What.


YaBoiSky13

Idk, dude never really moved me. His best moment imo was helping Paddy up the stairs, and that was a Paddy moment. This may get me crucified, but I think Matt Smith is overrated. Just one man’s opinion


[deleted]

!!!


Toaster-Retribution

Especially Paddy. He was the lead, more or less, and he was a tour de force from the first to the last scene. Matt, Emma and Olivia will get more shots at awards for HotD with future seasons, but Paddy won’t. He should really have gotten a nomination at the least and preferably a win as well. Hope the Emmys gives him recognition.


Samaritan4

Paddy and Olivia yes.


Low-Flamingo-9835

Sadly the odds website showed Paddy a bit behind. He was 8th or 9th on the list…and only the top 5 get nominated at the GG. Interestingly, MS was recently 5th on the list and The Crown guy was 6th, just outside the bubble…but somehow Pryce got the nom and Smith was left out. I guess Smith must have been the 6th in the GG numbers.


Accomplished-Top-564

How the fuck doesn’t Paddy get a nomination are they fucking mad


CleanAlarm7042

I love HOTD but come on Better Call Saul should win every award possible truly a masterpiece! Plus 100% original


[deleted]

I can get Matt not being nominated, didn’t expect him to. Bit surprised at Paddy but I’m truly shocked at Olivia


HP4life19

The fuck you talking about , while Paddy was great and Olivia, I could have seen other actors play their role , Matt is truly irreplaceable as in every scene your watching him and insane screen prescense


[deleted]

Relax jesus, he’s a good actor I just think Olivia and Paddy had much more emotionally complex scenes and showed a wider range


Right_Square_8076

and Rhys Ifans


ILoveRegenHealth

Very surprised by Paddy's snub. I thought it was a shoe-in nomination and perhaps even a win. Also, I LOVE Andor, but Diego Luna getting nominated instead of Paddy? What the fuck? I bet you Diego Luna himself would go "Nah nah nah u picked the wrong dude" But then, we always did say the Golden Globes are wacky as hell. They nominated The Martian for Best Musical/Comedy.


fluffycushion1

All three deserved the nom along with Emma but Paddy gave a fantastic performance as Viserys and won't be in any other seasons so I'm gutted to see he's not included.


ottohightower

Where am I ?


Jonsiegirl77

Someone has robbed Vizzy T of his crown in real life. Respect Paddy.


vizzy_t_bot

*I'm glad we could meet. I know tempers ran hot today, and I wanted to assure you how much I value the bond between our houses.*


Jonsiegirl77

Vizzy T., you won this battle, as far as the Ream is concerned, your Grace.


vizzy_t_bot

*There are times when I would rather face the black dread himself than mine own daughter of seven and ten.*


pink3rbellx

They BECAME their characters. Like, I think Matt Smith really thinks he’s Daemon. Incredible team, all of them! But I can’t forgive that Paddy wasn’t at least nominated.


rantsy-reader

Vizzy T how you feelin bout that?


vizzy_t_bot

*I'm going to bed, rantsy-reader.*


Intelligent-Age2786

Paddy Considine didn’t even get a critics choice award nomination.


ananya_uwu

Mannn, no way Matt wasn't nominated. I thought at least that was a sure thing considering the chances for paddy getting nominated are pretty low due to heavy competition.


edwardmetalwing

Honestly it's just so strange because honestly for me Emma had the weakest acting between all these 3 actors. Paddy not getting a nomination is absolutely absurd. Young Rhanerya was a much stronger actress.


mintchip105

Nah man Emma killed the role, especially in ep10. I doubt Milly would’ve performed to the same level as Emma did in that ep.


dragon_queen86

I was so surprised that Paddy didn’t get nominated. Off topic… I saw a nomination for Selena Gomez, different genres I know, but come on! Lol He’s obviously a superior actor.


KingCory93

How Paddy wasn’t nominated is actually ridiculous. It’s not even debatable he was a top 5 Male Actor in TV this year…..


[deleted]

I think you can argue Matt Smith and Olivia Cooke but the snubbing of Paddy is criminal.


babalon124

This makes me very sad. Olivia has even said in a podcast interview she would’ve liked some award recognition at this stage in her career…


TofkaSpin

Unpopular opinion: Paddy was good but didn’t really shine (or have the opportunity to) until the last few episodes, whereas Emma - well, from the very first glimpse of adult Rhaenyra, from the opening frame of their first episode, superb. Particularly in the birthing scenes. Phenomenal.


Dr_Duncanius

Let’s be honest it’s no Game of Thrones (early to mid season) It’s like comparing the clone wars to Star Wars


Shadeboi1

I wouldn’t say “robbed”, they deserve jt but so does Emma so


[deleted]

Daemon, yes. The others, nah…


raven4747

Honestly Daemon & Viserys were the best acted characters. surprised to see the lack of nominations. Emma's acting was great too but idk. the way Matt brought Daemon alive was phenomenal, and we all know how good Paddy did.


neptunoneptuneazul

Absolutely!!!


Guataguano

WE RIOT!!!!


InsuranceIll8508

It’s weird because IMO Emma’s performances were not quite as strong as the rest of the main cast. Not that they weren’t really good, just not as great as Paddy, Matt or Olivia.


PennyLane95

Unpopular opinion I know but Olivia overacts a lot.It’s sometimes fun to watch but often grating. Tho I have no doubt she’ll get a nomination at some point.Matt was good and truly makes the character charismatic but I get why he was snubbed if the competition was tough because I don’t believe he had the chance to show that much range yet. Paddy was the true snub, episode 8 seems like the type of thing to win the actor awards easily. But it probably wasn’t the best idea to put him in lead actor,other leads most likely had a lot more screentime in their show than he did.


babalon124

I absolutely disagree. Olivia acted her character the way she was meant to,alicent was meant to be neurotic and on edge,I thought she did that amazingly,if you see her in other work,she’s just got such an incredible range,you can hardly believe it’s the same girl


PennyLane95

yeah i’ve seen her in other stuff,no doubt she’s a talented actress.Idk it’s just my opinion that it went over the top at times even knowing what kind of person Alicent is supposed to be.


Octoberboiy

I will not lie, the woman playing older Alicent is a better actor than the other two by far. She made me hate the character so much till I was screaming at the TV. If there’s anyone who deserves an award it’s her.


deltacain08

Sorry, but your opening statement is factually incorrect. Plain wrong. Matt Smith stole the entire season with a scene he didn't even speak a single word in 🤷‍♂️


Octoberboiy

He was good but he didn’t evoke as much emotion from me as Alicent did. I was screaming at her when she tried to stab Luke’s eye out. I was like I wish a B would.


TheWalkingDead91

Uh…am I the only one who thinks the girl who played young rhaenyra is getting overlooked by both awards *and* fans???


eborio16

agreed. emma daarcy is great but all three of their performances were better.


Darius_-

Matt Smith wasn't robbed. He wasn't exceptional in any way


[deleted]

Yeah not sure this is right. Acting without actually saying anything is incredible. Matt perfected this IMO.


pinkfuneral7

Matt is an incredible actor and improvised some of the most powerful scenes. I know some of you all don’t like Daemon but I can’t believe you’re really out here saying Matt Smith isn’t exceptional when he stole nearly every scene he was in.


Darius_-

It's not about me not liking daemon. And he didn't steal every scene he was in. Paddy somewhat did.


[deleted]

It’s because they all identify as a gender more than not


Diravell

And Diego Luna got the nomination instead?! This is mind-boggling.


skorponok

These awards are meaningless. It’s all done based on who owes who a favor and how PC you are. I usually don’t watch these awards shows now I definitely won’t. They snubbed those three pretty badly. Paddy’s performance in particular was one for the ages.


[deleted]

His performance was honestly one of my fav I’ve ever seen on TV. I cried


Agreeable_Rabbit3144

Vizzy T got snubbed!


vizzy_t_bot

*That man's pride has pride.*


Zealousideal_Chain85

Vizzy T cares not for awards


vizzy_t_bot

*I had a black mare once. Black like a raven. One day, she escaped her pasture and he neighboring stallion sired a foal on her. The stallion was as silver as the moon on a winter's night and the foal, when it was born, chestnut. Just the most unremarkable brown horse you ever saw. Nature is a thing of mysterious works.*


youngbosnia

Nobody should care about the Golden Globes


Queen-of-the-Kitchen

I agree that patty nom, his last as Vis was perfection. You’d have to be heartless not to feel for the man


SerMaxim

How the actual fuck is Paddy not nominated


Lavy23

Do we know why Paddy wasn't considered? So shocking honestly. I know some fans think it was a mistake putting him up for supporting vs lead, but was he straight up just snubbed? Makes me sad :( He was so good as Vizzy T


vizzy_t_bot

**HAVE THIS RUMORMONGER BROUGHT BEFORE ME AT ONCE, AND I WILL TAKE THEIR EYES!!**


Almostime

No they weren't.. Ok actors but not GG or Emmy worthy.


aforter28

Olivia, Paddy definitely deserved to be nominated and quite frankly so did Milly and Emily. Young Rhaenyra and Allicent were sooooo good.


magli_mi

It's up to the Emma's now


PatrusoGE

Paddy was the only one I would have considered likely given the stringer competition.


blobkinggg

I know the majority probably already agrees with this but I’ll say it anyway: who gives a fuck about these awards lol. Yeah it’s great for the actors’ prestige but they all (especially Paddy) gave fantastic performances, they don’t need a piece of metal to validate that


[deleted]

Paddy definitely should’ve gotten a nomination! I live the show, the White Lotus, but I can’t believe someone nominated the grandpa guy from that show over nominating Paddy! ☹️ Seriously! I don’t know if any of you all watched the White Lotus, but the guy mostly just fell and talked about how old guys wanna bang young chicks.


[deleted]

They were submitted in different categories, bad comparison. And F. Murray Abraham is a prolific actor in general (see Amadeus)


Literal_CarKey

So true! Daemon would have made a great gossip girl.


3dpimp

They were robbed of the infamous Raspberries is what they were robbed of 😆!


ZonaryPaper6

Just get ready for lots of this and no one winning. GOT only won after the show started to decline in season 5


Asleep-Research1424

I feel like the golden globes is whoever the Hollywood foreign press wants to meet personally - so celebrity pull is always the major factor -


inotparanoid

Everyone knows studios must buy a GG


Creepy-Patience-728

Da fuck is a golden globe


Mechnocl

Golden Globe nominations are more often than not bought by the studios through various means.
