    Well no, she got a healthy fan base and a big paycheck from Better Call Saul, and hundreds of job offers.

    These stupid awards are not important.

      In some regards you’re right, in matters of paychecks though, being a emmy/golden globe/oscar winner deffo helps, as they can and will advertise with it.

        Those awards are an industry trying to remain relevant. None one in that universe of Vince Gilligan would win anything without Vince Gilligan’s writing and directing.

            Acting can’t fix poor stories, writing, and directing. Robert DeNiro has made some terrible films.

              Yes, you said that already. And I said that goes both ways. Great stories, writing and directing can’t fix bad acting. Great films require all participants to be on their best performance.

          Which, again, doesn’t change the fact that folks who get them earn more money after doing so.

      They might not be important to you, but they are important to a lot of people, first and foremost to the recipients they honor.

        My parents both have an Emmy.

        Mom can’t find work in the industry anymore, she got cut by execs that want to go all in on AI. I think my dad keeps his in the bathroom. Both of them would rather have gotten better pay or a bonus than the statuette.

        I think you’ve gotta be really vain to care that much about the award.
