BENJAMONSTER AWARDS 2025: Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited/Anthology Series

Today's award is Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited/Anthology Series!

Past Awards in This Category: 2024   2023   2022   2021   2020

This year's nominees are...










OWEN COOPER as Jamie Miller in Adolescence (Netflix)
WALTON GOGGINS as Rick Hatchett in The White Lotus (HBO)
JASON ISAACS as Timothy Ratliff in The White Lotus (HBO)
ED O'NEILL as Donald Sterling in Clipped (FX/Hulu)
PETER SARSGAARD as Tommy Molto in Presumed Innocent (Apple TV+)
PATRICK SCHWARZENEGGER as Saxon Ratliff in The White Lotus (HBO)

And the Winner Is...
WALTON GOGGINS
The White Lotus (HBO)
Walton Goggins has been having quite a run in the last couple years that may have came to a head this spring as he finished up his hilarious run as Baby Billy on The Righteous Gemstones while also being a fascinating, and completely different, character on The White Lotus. Rick Hatchett was tough to be around sometimes. He was such a tortured soul who couldn't get out of his own way and brought others, most notably his girlfriend Chelsea, into his troubles. Watching Goggins play this type of character, who was so deeply hurt and insecure, was interesting after he's played so many arrogant characters. He was u to the challenge though with a very believable and tragic performance.

Thoughts on the Rest of the Nominees:
Goggins was joined by two of his White Lotus co-stars in this category. Patrick Schwarzenegger was a revelation as he already has more range than his father (I said it) with his interesting turn on the show. And Jason Isaacs, while not always given the best material, certainly made the most of it. Ed O'Neill gave an over the top performance as Donald Sterling in Clipped, which had more positive elements than people gave it credit for. Owen Cooper was chilling and impressive beyond his years in a heartbreaking performance in Adolescence. The biggest threat to Goggins though was Peter Sarsgaard, who was easily the best part of Presumed Innocent as a character who went from being annoying to very sympathetic.

Tomorrow: Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series!

EPISODE GUIDES: Rhoda Season Five

On Thursdays, I go through classic series with a critical look at each season. Today I am looking at Season Five (the final season) of  Rhoda ! RHODA: SEASON FIVE 1978 13 episodes Rhoda' s final season was a truncated one as the show was cancelled in December 1978 after only 13 episodes had been produced (and only nine had aired). This feels like a continuation from season four in many ways except with the ill-advised split between Ida and Martin (more on that below). While  Rhoda  has an occasional good moment and even a couple decent episodes, it is a show that seems so wildly different from season one and not in a good way.  Rhoda  could never figure out what it fully wanted to be and only made it four and a half seasons as a result. Starring Valerie Harper as Rhoda Morgenstern  (13 episodes) Julie Kavner as Brenda Morgenstern  (13 episodes) Ray Buktenica as Benny Goodwin  (11 episodes) Kenneth McMillan as Jack Doyle  (9 episodes) Nancy Wa...

Mar Apr May NBC was the powerhouse on Thursday nights but ABC still gave it the old college try in the Fall of 1995 with a trio of new dramas that they hoped would help them cut into the Peacock's dominance. Headlining their night was Murder One , a high profile new show from Steven Bochco that received much of the network's attention before the season started. The series focused on one murder case for an entire season, whi...

DECADE IN REVIEW: The Best Comedies of the 2010s

During the month of December, I will be looking back at the decade that was the 2010s on TV. I will be sharing my favorite sitcoms, dramas, the best episodes, the best performances and the worst shows of the decade. To be eligible for this list, a show had to air the majority of its episodes in the 2010s. However, for the rankings and determination, all episodes were taken into account, including ones that may have aired before 2010. I will also preface that there are comedies that have aired this decade that I haven't watched yet so this is the best of what I have watched. To be fair, that preface is more true for dramas. There's not a ton of unwatched comedies sitting in my Netflix or Amazon watchlist. So here are my Top 10 comedies of the 2010s! Close Calls:  Master of None (Netflix) - An inconsistent but occasionally fascinating commentary on many life issues done so with innovative storytelling. The Good Place (NBC) - A show that aims high with a fascinating premis...
