Rhea Seehorn — the actor behind what a fan on Reddit called “the best female character of the last few years on Television” (aka Kim Wexler) — went unacknowledged by the Emmys for five seasons of “Better Call Saul.” This year, Seehorn finally received the nomination for outstanding supporting actress in a drama series — and hopeful fans tuned in to watch her (finally) accept it — but the award ultimately went to Julia Garner for her performance in “Ozark.”
Needless to say, this didn’t sit well with viewers already holding a grudge for her lack of nominations in previous years. Reactions on social media ranged from baffled (“HOW did she not win,” asked one Twitter user) to disillusioned, to pure, unadulterated rage, as in the case of one already oft-retweeted proclamation.
For many, the fact that Seehorn’s performance in the latter half of Season 6 will still be eligible for next year’s awards show offered little condolence. “I guess there’s a shot next year,” wrote Twitter user @mizphantasm, “but the show will have been over for a whole year.” The momentum bias fear was shared by many, including a number of fans who replied to critic Alan Sepinwall‘s reassuring reminder of Seehorn’s 2023 potential.
Still, the fact remains that, as ever, it could happen for the unjustly under-celebrated actor, and (again, as ever) some fans remain hopeful. “I’m not going to call for a revolution just yet,” wrote @ThatAldenDiaz, adding, “But I swear to every god that’ll hear me – Rhea Seehorn better win for that final run [of 6B]. We must avoid the snub of a lifetime.”
