In what is often the case, a group of actors known perhaps more for their work on the big screen than on the small screen managed to land most of the six Emmy nomination slots in the Outstanding Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology or TV Movie category. Featuring a past Spider-Man, a past Batman and a past denizen of the Star Wars galaxy, not to mention a Best Actor Oscar winner, we have a lot of big names who also spent time in some unique television projects that called upon other acting skills. Only two of them are in Limited Series that also landed a nomination for the show itself in the main category, so voters clearly did a lot of sampling. Four of them got their first Emmy nomination ever, and none have ever won.
Colin Firth,The Staircase
The Best Actor Oscar-winning star of The King’s Speech found another juicy role as a crime novelist accused of killing his wife, resulting in a battle for justice that lasted 16 years. Based on a notorious real-life case, it landed Firth only his second Emmy nomination ever, and the first in more than two decades. His hopes lie in the show itself — which has only two nominations (the other is for co-star Toni Collette) — being widely-viewed enough to encourage votes.
Andrew Garfield, Under the Banner of Heaven
Garfield comes off a banner year himself after an Oscar nomination for Tick, Tick… Boom!, an acclaimed turn opposite Oscar winner Jessica Chastain in The Eyes of Tammy Faye, and a return to the Spidey multiverse in last year’s No. 1 movie Spider-Man: No Way Home. He now lands his first Emmy nomination ever as a devout detective caught up in a vicious murder case that tests his own faith. Repping the show’s only nomination, he is a long shot here.
