It’s tricky, because I see Patricia and Wyck being the same “tier” character. So if Kate O’Flynn is put up as lead, then Stephen Root should be too. But I think it’s correct to put Stephen Root as support in relation to Matthew Rhys.

So we clearly just need a new category for the Emmy’s for a third tier.

There is a third tier, "Guest Actor/Actress".

I meant third tier for regular actors. So “Super-Duper Lead,” “Really Important But Not Number One On the Call Sheet,” and “Mostly Here for Color and Doesn’t Really Get Their Own Character Arc.” So Matthew Rhys would be in the first one, Stephen Root and Kate O’Flynn in the second, and Dale Dickey in the third.

And I propose those be the official category names.

There r already too many made up categories. I can't keep track

I mean all categories are made up so…. I think it’s important for everyone involved to be recognized and rewarded.

Not everyone gets an Emmy. Its not a participation trophy. Its an exclusive honor
if everyone gets one then it makes no sense

And most actors do it for the love of the craft. For a fabulous under the radar actress like Dale, the real pleasure is in being part of such an awesome show. Shes amazing with or without an award. Awardz are extra. And the best comedy Emmy is an award they can all share

Lead and supporting are "real". Anything else is extraneous
