Best Drama Supporting Actor is the last acting category at the Emmys that has yet to produce a black winner, but that could end this year.
Tuesday’s nominations saw Giancarlo Esposito make the cut for “Better Call Saul” alongside his co-star Jonathan Banks, “Game of Thrones” stars Alfie Allen, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Peter Dinklage, Michael Kelly (“House of Cards”) and Chris Sullivan (“This Is Us”).

He was snubbed two years ago when he reprised his role as Gus Fring on the “Breaking Bad” spin-off, but the competition thinned out this year with four open slots, which was apparently enough room for three “Thrones” and two “Saul” dudes.
