CHRIS SULLIVAN as Toby Damon in This is Us (NBC)
And the Winner Is...
KIERAN CULKIN
Succession (HBO)
Kieran Culkin returns as the winner for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series after not being eligible last season and the reason is simple. He is the best part of Succession. Succession has a stellar cast and some of the other actors get more attention but Culkin's Roman Roy has always been the show's MVP in my book. He is so perfectly suited for this fictional family with a biting sarcasm in nearly every line he delivers. Season Three of Succession gave Culkin more to do though than just several funny quips per episode. His troubled "relationship" with Geri (J. Smith-Cameron) provided some more depth for the character and Culkin absolutely nailed the embarrassing moment when a picture Roman meant for Geri when to his dad.
Thoughts on the Rest of the Nominees:
This category is dominated by supporting actors from Succession and This is Us. Joining Culkin from Succession is Matthew Mcfadyen who continues to be a very intriguing character and one that has set himself up for an even bigger season four. On This is Us, three time nominee Griffin Dunne continued to find the perfect mix of human and heart. Jon Huertas saved his best work on the show for the final season and specifically the long awaited episode dedicated to his character, who was often maligned by characters and fans during the run of the series. Chris Sullivan was a villain in the eyes of a lot of This is Us viewers this season but he still gave a very strong performance with difficult material. As far as characters not from those two shows, Billy Crudup continued to be a strong part of a very uneven season of The Morning Show and Jason Segel was an easy character to root for in Winning Time.
Tomorrow: Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series!
