I watched to the end of episode 4, and I haven’t felt the need to see any more. I think I’ll just leave it at that.

EDITED She was brilliant, by the way. You indeed can’t avoid to really feel sorry for her even in her more scary moments! The script is very explicit that you MUST feel for her but it’s her performance what make it possible. Yesterday I forgot to post the BBC article. www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-68849404I found funny this comment

Ha! Yes, that’s why she looked familiar! But I didn’t know her name. She played the Sian character in Pride that I mentioned in the comment about Sian Brooke. Maybe she was at the TIFF premiere, too, but I have those photos saved somewhere else. When they were on stage, almost all the questions were directed to Andrew Scott, so I barely remember who else was there besides him (definitely Bill Nighy and Dominic West - who got most of the screams).

It occurred to me that I should just check the YouTube videos that covered the Pride premiere back then, and yes - she was there! I remembered that there were a couple of actors who were accompanied by the actual people they played in the movie, and she was one of them - there, with the real-life Sian. Here’s the press conference. They’re introduced at 4:58. www.youtube.com/live/wsvJyZVsXPU?si=crorjzAr6RMrQXG4

What a strange announcement! Since when does Netflix get to decide what competes for an Emmy? Don’t they (and all the networks) promote their shows and hope for the best?
If it wins best limited series, I might watch the final three episodes.

I think they decided to promote it for the Emmys when it become a surprise hit.
EDITED I forgot to say, yes, the TV channel/streaming companies decide what will compete and what not. They pay for the contenders. Although there are cases in which actors themselves pay for it.

I understand that the networks have to submit shows/actors they want considered, but it doesn’t mean they’ll get nominations. Netflix certainly never expected Henry Sugar to walk away with an Oscar! It was only afterwards that Netflix went strutting around showing off their Oscar win - as if they had done anything to help it win.
It’s weird that Jon Hamm might be nominated now for Fargo, when I’m sure I watched Fargo before last year’s Emmy’s. It was so long ago, and yet he’s being mentioned in a category with shows that aren’t even out yet - like Eric.

TBF, Netflix probably was very interested on Henry Sugar winning/being nominated for Oscars’ Best Short. They could had presented all the shorts like an Anthology film or even a TV show but they decided to release them separately. The thing that was bizarre is that they didn’t cared for promoting the shorts with their audiences. Of course, they promoted their Best Film contenders much more with Academy members (and audiences) but that’s logic considering Best Short is a “minor” category; They still organized, for example, a lot of screenings of Henry Sugar and even other older Anderson shorts in places like Sundance, New York, LA, etc. designed to attract voters. But yeah, the last word is by Emmy voters! I just think what the article is saying is that Netflix will submit this series.
A lot of award pundits want Hamm to win. It seems he was brilliant in it! The discourse against him is that Fargo frequently underperforms with Emmy voters and yeah, that it was aired ages ago.
