Around the dinner table, the conversation was lively. Thank you but for now, the forum has been archived.
Provided that this gets entered into the mini-series category next year? There's no more Fargo planned, so it looks like the coast is clear, right? Are there any competitors we should look out for in the current mini-series offerings?

Next year's emmys are a lonnnnnnnnng way off considering this year's don't air for a couple of weeks. American Crime Story:Versace could be big competition if it rivals the caliber of the America Crime Story:OJ.
I say his (and TP as a whole) have a VERY (yrev?) good chance at the Golden Globes. Hollywood Foreign Press were big fans of the original if I remember correctly.
If there's any justice in the world, KM will get a fistful of awards for this.
But there isn't, so he won't.
😉
Would say great chances if not for Jerry and his foot.. MVP this year at the awards
I don't think he will.
His work is great and the ability to play 4 different characters (Coop, bad Coop, Dougie Jones, Coop Dougie) is amazing...
...but each character on their own aren't enough for an Emmy. Bad coop is emotionless, real Coop has only just started, Dougie Jones was only around for an episode and Coop Dougie just repeated lines.
Collectively it's an amazing performance so there is a chance but I don't see it happening.
It doesn't matter.

I predict that he'll get nominated, but the non-traditional nature of TP will keep him from trips to the podium. Kinda like the first time around.
Plus I think this season demands a lot from its viewers, and I dunno how many of the voters will have watched it all the way through, or even significant portions of it.
Edit: I agree with the comment that he (and TP in general) has a better chance at the Globes. Again, kinda like the first time around.
Think he has a good shot at an Emmy nomination - as to winning, depends....
Will be curious to see if the show is in the "limited series or movie" category (as was done for a series like "Fargo") or go for the "drama series" category (as has been done in the past for "Game of Thrones"). I believe the choice is left to the show's producers - be not sure.
Will also be very interested in seeing who might get a supporting actor/actress nomination. Thus far I would say Naomi Watts and Laura Dern (based on her last scene) have a chance. If Grace Zabriskie gets some decent amount of screen time in the last two episodes (and does as fabulously as she has thus far), she should be considered as well. Do not see any of the guys getting a nod, although Tom Sizemore and Matthew Lillard in my mind had the best scenes of the show to date - but too little time overall.

I think he will be nominated. He definitely deserves to win.
I'd nominate either Laura Dern or Catherine E. Coulson.
To the guy who said McLachlan none of the characters on their own are strong enough, I respectfully disagree.
Acting is 25% line delivery, 75% physical movements.
Dougie and Mr.C are incredible physical performances, that are ludicrously hard to pull off without appearing to be cheesy.
Dougie's emotion, that glint in his eye, that childlike glee, those spontaneous tears of sadness, the pathetic way he held his case files outside the insurance firm..All fantastic. Utterly, utterly fantastic.
The way Mr.C moves like an alligator, rigid, cold, devoid of emotion. Again, its utterly fantastic.
I'd be shocked if he wasn't nominated. I think the industry likes to pretend it has sophisticated taste.
KM's performance is one of the most technically brilliant I have ever seen. His ability to control the smallest muscles of his face so carefully to convey so much- I have never seen anything like it. Even when he was lying there in a coma. It was so clear to me that that was not Dougie lying there, it was DALE. I have no idea how he did that, but he did.
Not surprising, though. The episode of HIMYM in which the bottom half of his face is happy and smiling, and the top half of his face WANTS TO KILL YOU (hmmm- Two Captains???)- that is HARD TO DO (though at the time, in 2012, I thought Mitt Romney pulled it off- those were the days.)
TP's return was a miracle we could not have imagined. Maybe Kyle can get what he deserves.
I would love to see Kyle get the Emmy and Tatiana Maslany get it again for Orphan Black. Besides being two of my favorite people in show business, it's the season for multiple characterizations in a single program.

Don't they have an award for ensemble acting? This show should get it.
No ensemble awards are presented for either the Emmys or Golden Globes. The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards does have such a category - I'm sure they are a good candidate for a nomination.
