Agreed with this 100% White people win for mediocre performances ALL THE TIME, but I never see them getting crucified to the degree that people of colour (The hate for Sandra Oh this year immediately comes to mind) get crucified here by the same users (and we all know who they are, let’s be honest). And the infuriating part is, WTSU is not even mediocre by any yardstick – it’s one of the best shows of the year, brilliantly written, directed, AND acted, has a Metascore of 87, Rotten Tomatoes rating of 97%, and an IMDB rating of 9. But it’s being treated here in this thread by some people like it was Bohemian Rhapsody, and I can’t help but wonder if it got the same treatment, despite its quality and critical acclaim if it wasn’t for its cast and crew being predominantly black. I mean Sandra Oh is arguably the most overdue nominee this year, owing to her work on Grey’s Anatomy. And Lena Headey is also equally overdue owing to her great work on GOT. However, the same users who are advocating for Headey to win DESPITE her barely having anything to do in Season 8 largely because she is so overdue for a win are CRUCIFYING Oh because she will win largely because of being overdue and not necessarily her performance. They are hypocrites and they don’t apply the same standards to POC as they do to their favorite white actresses like Headey.
Darling, I wouldn’t mind Oh winning. I just think Emilia Clarke was a damn revelation in terms of acting this season and I loved her performance even though Disabled and Drowned’s writing was mediocre. The best performance is probably Viola Davis’ but she’s not winning anyways.
The thing with Lena Headey is that even though the dumb writers gave her little to do, she outacted the rest of her co-stars in “The Bells”. I see no contradiction or racism, darling. Not in my case and not for most Headey supporters. We’re a nice cult. We will share her dildo with each other after she wins it. You should join us.
LENA HEADEY hasn't got an Emmy for Game of Thrones????? Emmys you need to win her right now!!
Lena Headey ("Game of Thrones") for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.
If Lena Headey doesn't win the Emmy, I'm leaving GoldDerby forever.
