| Wayman hit all the nominees with direct connections to theatre, but there are a few more nominations for people who have done high profile work onstage: Amy Adams (“Hillbilly Elegy”) Gillian Anderson, “The Crown” Christina Applegate, “Dead to Me” Cate Blanchett, “Mrs. America” (now that the election and inauguration have safely passed, I wonder if her chances of winning have improved) Glenn Close (“Hillbilly Elegy”) (brilliant performance in a letdown of a film...I'd bet the same problem cost her the Oscar for The Wife) Ethan Hawke, “The Good Lord Bird” Nicole Kidman, “The Undoing” Laura Linney, “Ozark” (the most recent season featured her most exceptional work in an already exceptional run) Frances McDormand (“Nomadland”) (Is she now too old for a film version of Good People? I'd love to see that happen...) Carey Mulligan (“Promising Young Woman”) (I'm very torn as to whether I should vote for Mulligan or Davis, both of whom I thought were extraordinary) Mark Ruffalo, “I Know This Much Is True” Kerry Washington, “Little Fires Everywhere” (puzzled as to how she keeps getting nominations for this performance) Two theatre-related omissions that disappoint me: Noma Dumezweni, who was FANTASTIC in The Undoing, and Uzo Aduba, who won the Emmy for her performance in Mrs. America, but failed to get nominated here. |

| I was sorry Delroy Lindo did not get an individual nomination. He is superb in Da 5 Bloods. Granted, he has not been on stage (at least not in NY) since the late 80s, but he was superb there and then as well. | |

| Noma is the *only* person in that show who deserves a nomination (I am continually baffled by the awards love for Kidman and Grant, who were fine considering what they were given), and indeed, she should have been the star of the show (as in, make the show about her, not these oblivious, banal rich people). Her zinger about hiding the knives was the high point of a very disappointing series. | |

| I don't actually remember the line you mentioned. I remember her saying something about Grant having not hidden the sledgehammer. Is that what you meant, or is there something I'm forgetting? (I binged the series rather quickly, so it's very possible I missed something.) I wish the show had leaned more into the issues of privilege that it only occasionally seemed to recognize--and then out of a clear sense of having to do so. But I thought Kidman and especially Grant were great. |

| Oh, right, it's a sledgehammer, which I'm misremembering as a knife. But yes, it's the scene when Nicole testifies, and Grant realizes that she's betrayed him, and then Halie (who is the best character) snaps at him that he's going down because he couldn't throw away the murder weapon... she just says that line so perfectly, with such a delicate moral balance. In that one moment, she gives us a character richer and more compelling than anything else we've seen. | |
