Last week, Gold Derby’s Tom O’Neil pointed out that Michelle Williams has become the top pick among Experts to win the Best Limited Series/TV Movie Actress Emmy for her stunning performance as Gwen Verdon on FX’s “Fosse/Verdon.” At the time, 10 of 19 Experts predicting had Williams at No. 1, but the number has now grown to 12 out of 20. And that figure, along with her overall odds, may keep on rising as more and more people catch up and realize just how much Williams slayed on a show nominally called “Fosse/Verdon,” but slowly morphed into The Verdon/Williams Show.
The “Fosse/Verdon” producers, a team that includes Steven Levenson, Thomas Kail, Joel Fields and Lin-Manuel Miranda, have repeatedly discussed how their desire to give Verdon her due was the spark for the series. A four-time Tony winner and a pioneering dancer, Verdon is a Broadway legend, but her name is rarely uttered these days.
