I know we don’t even know what episodes they’ll submit, but if you were compiling the nominee list for the ceremony, what clips would you choose to best showcase each actors’ work? Here are some of my thoughts.
(For the comedy performers, many have a lot of great dramatic moments, but I wanted to choose their funny scenes because that’s usually what they show at the ceremony.)
COMEDY
Gillian Anderson – singing the song in front of the whole student body
Christina Applegate – “These girls look like they might kill themselves, maybe they want to get a nice jig in before they jump off the bridge.”

Linda Cardellini – “I would, but I’m seeing someone now.”
Annie Murphy – when she shows David the wedding dress she’s wearing

Julia Garner – any line telling off someone else

Viola Davis – “Who I am is a 53-year-old woman from Memphis, Tennessee…”

Alexis Bledel – The scene in which she reads the story to her son
Julie Dretzin – Practically any scene she had
Christopher Meloni – The moment right before June kills him
O-T Fagbenle – Either the scene in which he receives June’s phone call or his look in the finale when he hopes for Hannah to be among the childrenI agree with these, especially The Handmaid’s Tale scenes. Though I think Ozark should use the following:
Linney – Wendy yelling at Ben at the rest stop, because it’s so well contained without need for prior context. (“Who were you talking to? … Are you trying to get yourself killed? Are you trying to kill my family? … If she doesn’t get what she wants, she will kill my children…”), and could even include the phone call with Marty if a cut is allowed.
McTeer – Helen getting waterboarded, because those are dramatic stakes that can also be self-contained
Garner – Ruth upset in the hospital when it’s clear the Byrdes won’t punish Frank Jr. (“If this were Charlotte…”/”I’ll kill him myself.”)
Pelphrey – That cab ride is amazing, but will be so dang difficult to cut an excerpt for the time allotted. The same scene for Linney at the truck stop would for Pelphrey when Ben breaks down in the car. (“Nashville. I still know a few people there…”)
