Oscars and the Emmys snubs don’t get me as worked up nearly as much as they used to. I’m not okay with voters overlooking my favorite performance. It’s just that there are a limited number of spots in every category. There’s simply not enough room to honor the many people worthy of recognition, so why worry about them, you know? Buuuuut c’mon! It’s absurd the Television Academy mostly ignored the cast of Andor second season this year. Forest Whitaker (Guest Actor in a Drama Series) and Alan Tudyk (Character Voice-Over Performance) nabbed the incredible Disney+ series‘ only two acting nods among the Star Wars show’s otherwise impressive 14 nominations. Andor creator Tony Gilroy agrees, but he also knows there are more important things than Emmy Awards and shows like them. He knows his stars’ performance will endure far longer than any snub or nomination.
The always tactful Gilroy told Deadline “there are a lot of performances” from his show he would have liked to see earn a 2025 Emmy nomination. While he specifically cited the obvious omissions of Diego Luna and Genevieve O’Reilly, he said “there are a dozen performances” from the series that were worthy.
That might sound like a big number, but anyone who watched Andor knows it’s anything but. Even if it was never going to get 12 nominations, it’s stunning/ridiculous stars Luna, O’Reilly, Stellan Skarsgård, Denise Gough, Elizabeth Dulau, Kyle Soller, Ben Mendelsohn, Adria Arjona, and Anton Lesser combined for zero. Especially when the Academy had no problem nominating :checks notes: everyone from The White Lotus.
Gilroy’s disappointment about those Andor Emmy snubs didn’t keep him from maintaining a fantastic, absolutely correct perspective, though. He said an Emmy can’t compare to the “ultimate victory” his actors have already achieved. He said, “These performances will be celebrated and discussed for years to come. I feel confident about that.”
We’re not confident they will. We’re positive. Just like we’re positive it’s still absurd they didn’t also get Emmy nominations.
