Paul Giamatti, Chris O’Dowd, Rashida Jones, Cristin Milioti, Jimmi Simpson, and every ‘Black Mirror’ Emmy acting submission
Netflix will submit eight cast members from Black Mirror for Emmy consideration, Gold Derby has learned.
Paul Giamatti and Chris O'Dowd will be submitted for Limited Series/TV Movie Actor and Rashida Jones will be submitted for Limited Series/TV Movie Actress.
Jimmi Simpson who stepped back into the role of Walton for Black Mirror's "USS Callister: Into Infinity," the sequel to the Emmy-winning episode that originally aired in 2017, will be submitted for Limited Series/TV Movie Supporting Actor. Likewise, his costar Cristin Milioti, who similarly reprised her role for "Into Infinity," is being submitted as Limited Series/TV Movie Supporting Actress. The decision would potentially make her eligible for two Emmy nominations, since she is planning on going in the lead category for The Penguin.
Emma Corrin, Issa Rae, and Tracee Ellis Ross will also be submitted for supporting actress.
Giamatti starred in the Black Mirror episode titled "Eulogy," about a man who can step into old photographs to relive certain moments with a former love. While O'Dowd and Jones play a couple looking to start a family when the wife falls into a coma and her husband moves forward with an unusual life-saving procedure in the episode titled "Common People," which also stars Ross.
Below is the list of Netflix's official Black Mirror acting submissions for Emmy consideration. Please note that because actors are allowed to submit on their own, meaning actors not on this list could still appear on the Emmy ballot.
