 "Richard Madden's Emmy snub disappoints fans, Twitter questions if British actors have a 'cap' for nominations")
The Primetime Emmy nominations were declared on Tuesday.ย HBO’s Game of Thrones andย Amazon Prime Video’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel led the nominations with 32 and 20 nods respectively. However, Scottish actor Richard Madden’s snub for his poignant performance in BBC’s crime thriller The Bodyguardย has considerably irked fans on social media, who have openly voiced their disappointment. Many fans blamed the fact that many in the US, which hosts the Emmys, do not watch too many British shows and thus may not have watched the actor’s brilliant performance. Richard Madden has also bagged the Golden Globe ย for playing the harrowed protagonist in the Netflix show. Here is how Twitterati chose to express their objections
So wait: Richard Madden won the Golden Globe for Best Actor for THE BODYGUARD and didnโt get the Best Actor Emmy nom at all? Yikes.

I thought Richard Madden was a lock for @netflix drama series Bodyguard. Competitive category, but still. Brit shows are often less watched by these 25k voters.
