Last year, the limited/TV movie acting Emmys went to performers from four different shows: Michelle Williams (“Fosse/Verdon”), Jharrel Jerome (“When They See Us”), Patricia Arquette (“The Act”) and Ben Whishaw (“A Very English Scandal”). The spread was an aberration from the recent trend of one show bagging three acting statuettes, but that could very well resume this year with “Watchmen.”
Since 2000, six programs have scored at least three acting wins, with three occurring in the last five years:
2004: “Angels in America”: Meryl Streep (lead), Al Pacino (lead), Mary-Louise Parker (supporting) and Jeffrey Wright (supporting)
