‘Monster’ duo Evan Peters and Richard Jenkins can each full this uncommon Emmy set – GoldDerby

Evan Peters and his father “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story”. Richard Jenkins are the favorites to take home the Emmys for Best Actor in a Limited Series/TV-Movie and Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series/TV-Movie, respectively. They’re already Emmy winners in opposite categories, and if they prevail in September, they’ll join a small group of men who have won both limited awards and made-for-television awards.

Just six actors have swept both categories, which have undergone various name changes over the years. Laurence Olivier reigns with a total of five trophies. He has four leads for “The Moon and Sixpence” (1960), “Long Day’s Journey into Night” (1973), “Love Among the Ruins” (1975) and “King Lear” (1984) and one as support for ” Brideshead Reunion’ (1982).

Michael Moriarty has four, but they are asterisked. He has had leading and supporting characters in The Holocaust (1978) and James Dean (2002), respectively, and won two Emmys for the 1974 TV movie The Glass Menagerie. Prior to the making of the 1975 limited television film Supporting Actors, supporting actors competed in supporting roles for drama or comedy, so Moriarty won Best Supporting Actor in a Drama About His Co-Star for The Glass Menagerie Sam Waterston and series regulars MichaelDouglas (“The Streets of San Francisco”) and Will Geer (“The Waltons”). It was also the year of the rash Super Emmys, pitting individual genre winners against each other. Moriarty defeated the champion for Best Comedy Supporting Actor Rob Reiner (“All in the Family”) to win Supporting Actor of the Year.

Next in line are Hume Cronyn And Beau Bridges, each having three. Cronyn is a two-time lead actor for Age-Old Friends (1990) and To Dance with the White Dog (1994). Between those wins, he snagged an assisting trophy for “Broadway Bound” in 1992. Bridges triumphed in the lead for Without Warning: The James Brady Story in 1992 and added a side win for The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleader-Murdering Mom the following year. In 1997 he snagged his second supporting statuette for The Second Civil War.

Ed Flanders And George C Scott have a win in each category. Like Bridges, Flanders won two straight years, first as support on “A Moon for the Misbegotten” in 1976 and then as lead on “Harry S. Truman: Plain Speaking” in 1977. Scott scored a lead trophy for his ” Hallmark Hall of Fame episode The Price in 1971 (the same year he won and declined the Oscar for Patton) and collected his supporting bookend for 12 Angry Men in 1998.

Peters and Jenkins would join the last group. Both were victorious at their first and previously only Emmy Gold for HBO shows, bagging three acting trophies. Jenkins won the lead for “Olive Kitteridge” in 2015, while Peters won the side award for “Mare of Easttown” in 2021.

Peters leads at odds of 18/5 and has already won a Golden Globe for his performance Jeffrey Dahmer and also received a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination. Sam Eliot won the SAG award, but Peters needn’t worry about him at the Emmys as “1883” isn’t eligible. The first six are rounded off Egerton Conference (“Black Bird”), winner of the Critics Choice Award Daniel Radcliffe (“Strange: The Al Yankovic Story”), Woody Harrelson from the undated “White House Plumbers”, Michael Shannon (“George & Tammy”) and Steve Carl (“The patient”).

Closer is the supporting actor race between Jenkins (odds 19/5) and No. 2 Paul Walter Houses (4/1), who defeated Jenkins at the Globes with his own chilling twist as a suspected serial killer Larry Hall on “Black Bird”. Jenkins hasn’t met another Precursor outside of the Globes, but “Monster’s” visibility and popularity and soft category should make him safe for at least a nom. Domhnall Gleeson (“The Patient”) is third, followed by the late Ray Liotta (“Black bird”), Jharrel Jerome from “Full Circle”, which also has no release date yet, reigning champion Murray Bartlett (“Welcome to Chippendales”) and Dennis Quaid also from “Full Circle”.
