Since its debut in 2016, Stranger Thingsa series produced and distributed by the Netflix streaming platform, stood out for its extraordinary cast, which over time has grown to include Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Holes Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Joe Keery, Maya Hawke e Brett Gelman.
Some of these stars have earned Emmy attention in the past: Harbour, Brown and the actress Shannon Pursercharacter interpreter Barbreceived nominations.
An unexpected star was nominated for the 2023 Emmy Awards
Despite excellent performances by Sadie Sink in the role of Max, Jamie Campbell Bower in that of Vecna e Joseph Quinn in that of Eddie Munsonthis year only a cast member of the fourth season of Stranger Things has been in consideration for the Emmy Awards, and it is an amazing member.
According to Variety, Dacre Montgomery he is the only actor eligible for the 2023 Emmys, despite Billy was killed by Mind Flayer in the Season 3 finale and both appeared only briefly in the Season 4 episode “The Piggyback” while watching Max.
Last year, the Emmy Awards did away with the rule of “hangover episode“, which allowed a show whose current season extended beyond the May 31 eligibility deadline to still be considered. The fourth season of Stranger Things was divided into two parts: the first volume was released on May 27 and competed for the 2022 Emmys, receiving 13 nominations and winning five in the technical categories. The second volume was released on July 1, but under the new rules, these are considered “orphan episodes” and are not eligible for any of the major acting categories. Montgomery he is eligible only because he appeared as a guest actor.
Although a nomination for Montgomery is certainly attainable, he will find himself competing in a crowded field that includes guest actors Nick Offerman e Murray Bartlett Of The Last of Us e Bryan Cranston e Aaron Paul Of Better Call Saul. Although the fourth season of Stranger Things probably won’t receive any acting nominations this year, will still be eligible for a few big categories, including writing and directing brothers Duffer.
The 2023 Emmy nominations will be announced on July 12th.
