And the Winner Is...
WALTON GOGGINS
The Righteous Gemstones (HBO)
Walton Goggins truly embraces the bonkers with his portrayal of Baby Billy on The Righteous Gemstones. Even though the show can sometimes have some serious overtones, Goggins is just playing up to a level ten all the time. He is so deeply invested in making the character as kooky as can be but you also get the sense that Baby Billy really does believe he's one step away from greatness or glory at all times. His third season arc with the "Bible Bonkers" game show probably featured the funniest performance yet from Goggins but he also gives the character a small dose of pathos that makes it more than a caricature. It's a truly memorable character that doesn't get enough attention.
Thoughts on the Rest of the Nominees:
This year was an eclectic group of nominees. Goggins' co-star Tim Baltz had his best season yet on The Righteous Gemstones and I'm excited to see where they go next with his character. Last year's winner Tyler James Williams turned in another solid year on Abbott Elementary even when he was stuck in some not-so-great storylines. Brandon Scott Jones and especially Richie Moriarty are continuing to find new angles and depths to their Ghosts characters while also being really funny. Paul W. Downs was upgraded to a series regular on Hacks and has such great line deliveries. Finally, I didn't love "Baby Colin Robinson" in the fourth season of What We Do in the Shadows so the Colin Robinson running for office bit worked much better for me for Mark Proksch's memorable character.
Tomorrow: Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited/Anthology Series!
