Scoot McNairy as Tom Purcell in "TRUE DETECTIVE"
Chris Messina as Detective Richard Willis in "SHARP OBJECTS"
Ben Whishaw as Norman Scott in "A VERY ENGLISH SCANDAL"
Michael Kenneth Williams as Bobby McCray in "WHEN THEY SEE US"
AND THE WINNER IS:
MICHAEL KENNETH WILLIAMS AS BOBBY MCCRAY IN "WHEN THEY SEE US"
This is the second win and eleventh nomination for Michael Kenneth Williams. He won with the ensemble of The Wire (2007). He was also nominated for The Wire (2003, 2005, 2008) and with the ensemble's of The Wire (2003-2004, 2008) & Boardwalk Empire (2012, 2014-2015).
I'm hoping beyond hopes that 2019 finally marks the moment for long time television star Williams to finally pick up a long overdue Emmy award. While I've not individually nominated him for his most recent miniseries/tv movie performances I've long recognized him with nominations for the groundbreaking series The Wire. In 2019's When They See Us he played the heartbroken father Bobby of one of the kids committed to serve a prison sentence for a crime they didn't commit. While not heavily featured throughout the four episodes like most supporting turns when spotlighted he was stunning. In such short screen time we saw this horrible moment in history fully break down his character and Williams expertly played every moment of this. I'm sure everyone who will have watched the series will have watched it by now and been moved extremely by Williams' performance.
