Now let’s talk snubs.

Elizabeth Olsen as possible crime-of-passion committing Candy Montgomery in Love & Death wasn’t nominated, though her co-star, Jesse Plemmons, was. 

Harrison Ford, as a snarky, sarcastic therapist on Shrinking, as well as his work on Yellowstone spinoff 1923 wasn’t nominated for either show.

Though House of the Dragon was nominated for Best Outstanding Drama, no one on the cast was nominated for a single category – a crime considering the incredible performances that brought this show to life.
