The Limited Series and TV movie categories are going to be the most nail-biting of the entire Emmy season. They are crammed with excellent entertainment and stacked with insanely strong ensemble performances. Going into the summer, it seemed that ABC’s American Crime (not to be confused with American Crime Story: The People vs. O.J. Simpson on FX) was sure to get a boatload of attention–and it’s still probably true. Keep your fingers crossed that this drama still resonates with voters.
The first season of American Crime landed a surprising 10 nominations, including four acting nominations for performers Felicity Huffman, Timothy Hutton, Regina King (who walked away with the show’s only win), and Richard Cabral, respectively. The presence at last year’s nominations seemed to impress and surprise a lot of people (myself included), so it feels like the show has a lot to live up to. It feels like it’s on a lot more radars anyway.
Does the second season have the possibility to replicate last year’s success?
