I think D’Arcy Carden should be nominated for an Emmy or Golden Globe for her work on The Good Place. She was always so spot-on to me throughout the show. I don’t really hear many people talking about her Lauren Ambrose is so great in Servant, particularly in her centric episode when we find out what happened. So heart-wrenching.
In terms of the actresses from the past, the most underrated and in my top three best TV actresses ever, that definitely goes to Tatiana Maslany in Orphan Black. So transformative yet believable. Who are your underrated TV actresses?

Liza Weil in How To Get Away With Murder definitely should have been nominated for Supporting Actress Drama for seasons 2 and 4.
Jenifer Lewis also should have been nominated for her scene stealing work in black-ish. She should have won 1 – 2 Emmys for her work.

Here’s some off the top of my head

– Keri Russell, The Americans
– Noah Emmerich, The Americans
– Maggie Gyllenhaal, The Deuce
– Annie Murphy, Schitt’s Creek
– Patrick Wilson, Fargo
– Michelle Fairley, Game of ThronesMarch 30, 2020 at 8:22 pm #1203402027Frances Conroy is great in everything I’ve seen her in no matter how big or small the role. I found her to be great from what I’ve seen in Six Feet Under and also in American Horror Story. I loved her in season 1, 2, and 3. She was also great in Joker despite having very little to do.

Caitriona Balfe is outstanding in Outlander and deserve a lot more. She should have won an Emmy for Season 2. Damn, that girl got FOUR Golden Globes nominations in a row for that show and not a single Emmy nomination.

The writers never really got Catelyn right, but she was so perfect for the role it still worked for me. Much like the character herself, it’s an undervalued and underappreciated performance and one of the show’s best.
Also, I know a lot of people love her but Rhea Seehorn is likely going to miss yet another Emmy nomination. Get it together, Emmys, and reward that wonderful woman!

I seem to recall George RR Martin has said the show not bringing her back as Lady Stoneheart like the books did was the biggest missed opportunity of the series. Interestingly, it was after the season four finale where this event would’ve taken place but ultimately didn’t that Martin stopped contributing to the show. I’m sure that, along with some other divisive deviations in the series played a part in that.

I don’t even have words to describe how perfect she was on the show. Also, I don’t even have words to describe how robbed she was in awards terms.

She’s just sensational and puts many of the inevitable Emmy nominees to shame.
