WHY HE DESERVES A NOD: As a closeted Washington bureaucrat in the 1950s, Bomer’s Hawk needed to be charismatic (to distract and win over others), fearful (of the Lavender Scare) and conflicted (about his feelings for Jonathan Bailey’s deeply religious Tim), and the actor delivered on all fronts. As the Showtime limited series jumped to the ’70s and ’80s, Bomer’s performance only deepened, and Hawk’s confident and suave veneer gave way to a deeply hurting and vulnerable person. When the character confronted his repressed grief over his son’s death in the penultimate episode, Bomer cycled through shock, anger and then, finally, devastating acceptance with heartbreaking finesse. — Vlada Gelman
Matt Bomer deserves the award
I think you’ve conflaited two Baby Reindeer episodes. In Ep 4, we see the flashback of that tragic relationship with the TV writer. It is in Ep 6 that we watch his stand-up recollection of that experience in the “11-minute quasi-exorcism.”
Jonathan Bailey? Nothing? Really?
He is submitted under the supporting actor catagory.
Guess no one at TVLINE saw the brilliant A Gentleman in Moscow! Otherwise there was no way you were leaving the award-deserving Ewan McGregor off your list!
Can’t give enough props to Tom Hollander. His portrayal of Truman Capote was captivating and just so excellent.
Tom Hollander for the win!!!
Tom Hollander has to win. Unbelievable performance.
What about GENTLEMAN FROM MOSCOW??
