BENJAMONSTER AWARDS 2026: 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: 2025   2024   2023   2022   2021   2020

This year's nominees are...












ALEX BONIFER as Dougie Womack Jr. in Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat (Prime Video)
STUART CAMPBELL as Young Ruben in Half Man (HBO)
DAVID HARBOUR as Floyd Smernitch in DTF St. Louis (HBO)
CHARLES MELTON as Austin Davis in Beef (Netflix)
NICK OFFERMAN as Chester A. Arthur in Death by Lightning (Netflix)
SHEA WHIGHAM as Roscoe Conkling in Death by Lightning (Netflix)

And the Winner Is...
NICK OFFERMAN
Death By Lightning (Netflix)
It's no surprise that Nick Offerman is a great actor. He can play comedy and drama equally well and I know we're going to get a great performance no matter the role or show. His portrayal of a pretty unknown president - Chester A. Arthur in Death by Lightning - was nothing short of fantastic. On top of easily looking like he could live in the 1880s, Offerman had some really funny moments with Arthur as a corrupt drunk but he also gave him pathos and played serious moments really well as the series came to a close. It almost made me wish we could watch a sequel about Arthur's presidency.

Thoughts on the Rest of the Nominees:
One of Offerman's co-stars also made the list of nominees. Shea Whigham had a commanding presence in every scene he was in. Charles Melton had some of the funniest moments in Beef even if his character was a little bit all over the place. I was not a huge fan of DTF St. Louis but I thought David Harbour gave a really sweet and vulnerable performance. Stuart Campbell was electrifying as the combustible Young Ruben in Half Man and finally, Alex Bonifer could have been a really annoying character but gave him enough humor and heart in Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat.

Tomorrow: Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series!

TOP 10 TUESDAY: Top 10 Modern Family Characters

Image
This week for my Top 10 Tuesday, I am counting down the Top 10 characters from the Emmy winning hit Modern Family ! 10. FRANK DUNPHY It was inspired casting to bring the late, great Fred Willard on board as Phil Dunphy's father, Frank. Ty Burrell's dopiness as Phil really seemed like it could have been inspired by Willard's brand of comedy. Frank wasn't in a ton of episodes but he makes the list over some actual series regulars because he never stopped being funny and always elevated any scene he was in. It was one of Willard's final recurring roles and he was the most memorable of the many Modern Family characters who turned up once in awhile. 9. LUKE DUNPHY I struggled with what to do about Luke, Manny and Alex for this list. All three became so insufferable by the end of the series, I was left with a really bad taste in my mouth. But Luke ultimately made the list because he was the best as a young child and then the "least bad" among the three I mention...

EPISODE GUIDES: That 70s Show Season Three

Image
THAT 70s SHOW: SEASON THREE 2000-2001 25 episodes Season 3 of  That 70s Show  graded out almost as strong as Season 2. Like every season, there are some duds but there are also some of my favorite episodes of the entire series. One thing this show does better than the previous season is they don't twiddle their thumbs as long with some of the major arcs of the series. On the other side, there are just a few episodes that feel completely like throwaway episodes. Still, this season is prime  That 70s Show. Starring Topher Grace as Eric Forman  (25 episodes) Mila Kunis as Jackie Burkhart  (25 episodes) Ashton Kutcher as Michael Kelso  (25 episodes) Danny Masterson as Steven Hyde  (25 episodes) Laura Prepon as Donna Pinciotti  (25 episodes) Wilmer Valderrama as Fez  (25 episodes) Debra Jo Rupp as Kitty Forman  (25 episodes) Kurtwood Smith as Red Forman  (25 episodes) Don Stark as Bob Pinciotti  (14 episodes) Tanya Roberts as Midge ...

DECADE IN REVIEW: The Best Comedies of the 2010s

Image
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...
