Today's award is Outstanding Guest Actor or Actress in a Limited/Anthology Series! To qualify for this category, they had to appear in four episodes or less than half, whichever is smaller.
This year's nominees are...
HANAD ABDI as Jibril in Little America (Apple TV+)
RACHEL BILSON as Alison in Accused (FOX)
MICHAEL CHIKLIS as Scott Harmon in Accused (FOX)
WHITNEY CUMMINGS as Brenda in Accused (FOX)
PENELOPE ANN MILLER as Joyce Dahmer in Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story (Netflix)
STACY ROSE as Ines in Little America (Apple TV+)
And the Winner Is...
STACY ROSE
Little America (Apple TV+)
This category is a place where guest stars of episodic anthologies can shine because they get an episode where they are the center of attention. Stacy Rose made the most of her guest role in the second episode of the second season as the "Bra Whisperer." In many ways, that episode of Little America felt the most fully realized of the second season with a story that spanned years. Rose was effective at all stages in the episode - from her early days as a nanny to being a confident businesswoman. Like the best characters in Little America, she was heartbreaking at times but filled with an inspiring sense of optimism and determination.
Thoughts on the Rest of the Nominees:
As mentioned, episodic anthologies shine here and that's why 5/6 of the nominees are from Apple TV+'s Little America and FOX's Accused. The other Little America nomination besides Stacy Rose went to Hanad Abdi as he played a determined Somalian immigrant who wanted to bring camel meat to the Minnesota State Fair. Like most anthologies, the quality of Accused varied from episode to episode but they had a lot of big names. The pilot featuring Michael Chiklis was one of the more harrowing ones and Chiklis brought gravitas to his role. Whitney Cummings was also playing against type a bit in a more serious role that she did effectively. Rachel Bilson was pretty creepy in her compelling episode. Finally, a more standard guest star was Penelope Ann Miller as Jeffrey Dahmer's mother (in later episodes) on Monster. She was very effective in a limited amount of screentime.
Tomorrow: Outstanding Guest Actor or Actress in a Drama Series!
