Fiennes was nominated at SAG in 2019 and was nominated at the Emmys in 2018. Whitford won the Guest Acting Emmy last year.

Both are competing in Supporting Actor this year but which one would you vote for (for the nomination)?

FYC Emmys: "The Crown" in all categories, "I May Destroy You" in all categories, "It's a Sin" in all categories, "Small Axe" in all categories, Billie Piper ("I Hate Suzie"), Yvonne Strahovski ("Stateless") and Ruth Wilson ("His Dark Materials")

Fiennes…by a mile. Whitford is good but (slightly) overrated.

You wouldn’t vote for Fiennes even as a nominee? Harsh.

Maybe for the third season. But there are episodes, like “Night,” in which I don’t think he’s that good.

I voted Fiennes because he’s gotten better each season in my opinion and Whitford didn’t have a lot to do.

I honestly feel no shame in saying Fiennes has been and always will be dreadful in this show

Tbh Fiennes. I don’t remember anything memorable Whitford has done in s3.

At least to me S3 was mostly about June so the other characters didn’t have enough scenes to deserve nominations for this year.

Controversial but I actually think she gives the best performance on the show. Can’t wait to see her deliver again in Stateless. To think ten years ago that we’d be taking the co-lead of Chuck as a serious dramatic actress lmao.

Don’t know if anyone else here played the Mass Effect series, but her vocal performance there proved her dramatic chops to me long before Handmaid’s Tale.

The correct option is leading the poll.

The fact none is leading the poll has led me to put Whitford into 6th.

I had him in eighth, and now I feel pretty reassured about my placement.

Neither, but if forced to pick (I can’t believe I’m going to say this because I think he’s one of the weak links) I’d vote for Fiennes. Sometimes he looks so done playing Waterford but I found him more menacing in the third season.

I think Whitford did not offer anything new despite his increased screentime. He’d likely get in over Fiennes, though.
