This year's nominees are...
BILLY CRUDUP as Cory Ellison in The Morning Show (Apple TV+)
JON HAMM as Paul Marks in The Morning Show (Apple TV+)
BOYD HOLBROOK as Clement Mansell in Justified: City Primeval (FX)
EBON MOSS-BACHRACH as Richie Jerimovich in The Bear (FX/Hulu)
OLIVER PLATT as Uncle Jimmy in The Bear (FX/Hulu)
TIM ROBBINS as Bernard Holland in Silo (Apple TV+)
BENNY SAFDIE as Dougie Schecter in The Curse (Showtime)
And the Winner Is...
EBON MOSS-BACHRACH
The Bear (FX/Hulu)
Although I loved the first season of The Bear, Ebon Moss-Bachrach's Richie was not one of my favorite characters. In fact, I didn't even nominate him for this category a year ago. But he became one of my favorite characters in the second season as the show gave him a whole lot more depth and character. That happened throughout the season but it was of course most noticeable in the best episode of the season - "Forks." Richie's foray into five star dining and journey in that episode was a truly special, if slightly unbelievable, story. Ebon Moss-Bachrach's evolution in that episode took him from abrasive to sympathetic, much like the overall arc for Richie. Moss-Bachrach proved he was able to take his character to the next level in the second season.
Thoughts on the Other Nominees:
Billy Crudup has been nominated for this award three times and he remains one of the best parts of The Morning Show. The problem with that show has never been the cast and this year they added Jon Hamm to the group. In a year that also included his great turn on Fargo, he elevated the mediocre material he was given on Morning. Oliver Platt was given a lot more to do in the second season of The Bear and was a great presence. Boyd Holbrook was a compelling season-long villain on Jusitfied: City Primeval. Tim Robbins became more and more interesting over the course of the season on Silo and Benny Safdie was a fascinating character on The Curse.
Tomorrow: Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series!
