Your arguments for McKean’s snub are that voters like him, but they liked Banks and other actors more. If voters saw the third season and still chose Banks over McKean, that says a lot about their taste. Nominating the show + Odenkirk and Banks  (who are the only submitted actors who also appeared on Breaking Bad) for every season of the show is a clear proof that voters don’t care for it and name-check the people they knew before the show.

Category is bleak. I’ve always maintained that we should have kept to 5 nominees in every category, and this year further reinforces my belief

House of Cards guild nominations this year:
– SAG Drama Actress
– ADG Contemporary Production Design
– MPSE One-Hour Dialogue Editing
– SOC Camera Operator

House of Cards guild nominations last year:
– SAG Drama Actress
– SOC Camera Operator

It is not much, but how did it even retain what it got last year? To improve on it demonstrates that there are still voters who check it off out of habit and this is a show that has never missed Outstanding Drama Series.

I’m debating between Bodyguard and House of Cards. It depends on what Netflix decides to do with the first one.

God forbid if House of Cards Season 6 is nominated for Outstanding Drama series… Make the whole category look less serious

Clear for who? For you and for 3 more people on these forum? Your argument is your subjective belief that McKean is better than Banks… This is not even an argument to be honest. Banks proved in Better Call Saul that he can do more things that we thought. Actors nominated the show for best ensamble at SAG, they obliviously see the show, this season has been the most popular one between the guilds, it is obvious that with stronger competition voters proffered other options and performances. Maybe McKean was close every year. And to diminish voters taste in that way is very snobbish. I am sure that even McKean did not care as much as you care for his nomination.
