Today's award is Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series!
This year's nominees are...
IAIN ARMITAGE as Sheldon Cooper in Young Sheldon (CBS)
MATT BERRY as Laszlo Cravensworth in What We Do in the Shadows (FX)
JOHN GOODMAN as Eli Gemstone in The Righteous Gemstones (HBO)
KELSEY GRAMMER as Frasier Crane in Frasier (Paramount+)
DANNY MCBRIDE as Jesse Gemstone in The Righteous Gemstones (HBO)
KAYVAN NOVAK as Nandor the Relentless in What We Do in the Shadows (FX)
SETH ROGEN as Will in Platonic (Apple TV+)
And the Winner Is...
SETH ROGEN
Platonic (Apple TV+)
Platonic was a really pleasant surprise early in this awards period and the two stars - Seth Rogen & Rose Byrne - were a major reason. Their chemistry was undeniable and I truly think this is the best I've ever seen Rogen. Sometimes he can go a little too much but he was so funny here as the platonic best friend. He was funny and charming but you could also see why his character had a complicated history with Byrne's character and why his Will could get on the nerves of other characters in the show. He played him with such earnestness though that you couldn't help but route for all to go well with him. I think Rogen took a step forward as an actor with this show, it's too bad it hasn't cut through more.
Thoughts on the Rest of the Nominees:
This was an interesting category with no previous winners eligible. It was also somewhat dominated by two shows. Kayvan Novak continues to be the funniest part of What We Do in the Shadows while Matt Berry was also nominated this year for a great season and impeccable line readings. There were also two nominees from The Righteous Gemstones: John Goodman is so effective as the patriarch of the Gemstone family while Danny McBride absolutely had his best season yet (I found him a bit annoying in the first two seasons). Iain Armitage had a good final season as Young Sheldon and handled the emotional final episodes well. Finally, Kelsey Grammer returned as Frasier and while the show let him down, Grammer was a sharp as ever in a role he's played since 1984.
Tomorrow: Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited/Anthology Series!
