OUTSTANDING GUEST ACTOR IN A DRAMA SERIES

Tom Brooke as Michael Fagan in (“Fagan”) in “THE CROWN”
Tom Burke as Dazzle Jennings in (“The Hereditary Principle”) in “THE CROWN”
Norm Lewis as Vernon Jackson in (“Take Me to Church”) in “POSE”
Timothy Olyphant as Cobb Vanth in (“Chapter 9: The Marshal”) in “THE MANDALORIAN”
Courtney B. Vance as George Freeman in (“Sundown”) in “LOVECRAFT COUNTRY”
Carl Weathers as Greef Karga in (“Chapter 12: The Siege”) in “THE MANDALORIAN”

AND THE WINNER IS:


COURTNEY B. VANCE AS GEORGE FREEMAN IN ("SUNDOWN") IN "LOVECRAFT COUNTRY

This is the first win and third nomination for Courtney B. Vance. He was previously nominated for Scandal (2015) and American Crime Story (2016).

If you have complaints about certain elements of this first season of Lovecraft Country I guess i can slightly understand but when I think about the show the positives far outrank the negatives. One such positive early on was Courtney B. Vance who proved yet again why he is such a skilled performer. His inclusion on the show was short and while I would've welcomed more of him his presence was felt throughout and made him the perfect choice in this category for me. The pilot was his standout where we see his character go on a road trip with the central couple of the series. Vance is simply a charismatic performer and this is on full display during his appearances on Lovecraft Country.
