i think the most interesting thing about the speculation around the pittâs potential emmy nominations is that people who think taylor and gerran shouldnât be nominated because they didnât do enough this season are correct, but propping up isa and patrick as alternatives is missing the point of the problem because zero actors on the pitt were given emmy worthy material to show off their talent this season with the exception of wyle and lanasa. this isnât saying that i donât think certain people are capable of winning emmys â every pitt ensemble member could win an emmy if they were given the opportunity in the writing. personally, iâd love to see brendan mendez homer and amielynn abellera get large enough arcs to be nominated because if nominated, i think theyâd have a serious chance of winning.
but the joke is that the pitt is simply uninterested in writing compelling material for anyone else than noah wyle and katherine lanasa, now including shawn hatosy who won last year but was given next to nothing to work with this year. i canât make a genuine argument for anyone new to get nominated this year (except sepideh moafi), especially when comparing their performances against people from other shows. it doesnât matter how good an actor is in their role if the role is flat. comparing individual performances and trying to create a hierarchy is pointless when everyone is getting screwed over. all the arguing does is tell the writersâ room that they can keep tossing their actors scraps and the fans will do the campaigning on twitter rather than having to do their cast justice by giving them material and screen time that do their talents justice.
