‘Girls’ Gets Lone Emmy Nomination Because ‘Veep’ Nom Disqualified
Here’s a wacky little story involving a not-too-wacky (read: prestigious) award: an Emmy nomination for HBO’s Veep just morphed into an Emmy nomination for HBO’s Girls, after Peter MacNicol was disqualified for his work on the former.
Let’s clarify: MacNicol (aka the secret MVP of Ally McBeal) guested on Veep’s fifth season, and received an Emmy nod for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series. Yet MacNicol has since been deemed unfit for the award, since he appeared in too many episodes of the season—THR points out that the rule is “less than 50 percent” of a season’s episodes—and thus cannot be considered a “guest actor.”
