Carrie Coon ‘Ecstatic’ About Her ‘Fargo’ Emmy Nomination But ‘Heartbroken’ Over ‘The Leftovers’ Snub

Carrie Coon is thrilled for the Emmy nod she received for “Fargo,” but the actress is saddened over the fact that her other TV series, “The Leftovers,” only got one nomination.

Coon was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie for her role as Gloria Burgle in Season 3 of the Noah Hawley-created FX series. Other nominees in the category are Felicity Huffman (“American Crime”), Nicole Kidman (“Big Little Lies”), Jessica Lange (“Feud: Bette and Joan”), Susan Sarandon (“Feud: Bette and Joan”) and Reese Witherspoon (“Big Little Lies”).

In an interview with TV Insider, Coon revealed that she found out about her first-ever Emmy nod while preparing for the day. “I was getting ready. It was streaming on our Apple TV — we’re in New York for work this week — and he [husband Tracy Letts] had it on as I got out of the shower and there I was!” the 36-year-old actress recalled. “We were jumping up and down. He’s the sweetest.”

Aside from Coon’s nod, “Fargo” scored five other nominations. Ewan McGregor was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or Movie for his dual roles as Ray and Emmit Stussy. David Thewlis was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie for his portrayal of V.M. Varga. The show itself was nominated for Outstanding Limited Series, while Hawley got two nominations: Outstanding Directing for a Limited Series, Movie, or Dramatic Special and Outstanding Writing for a Limited Series, Movie, or Dramatic Special.

While Coon is “ecstatic” for all the recognition “Fargo” got, the actress admitted that she’s “heartbroken” that the only Emmy nod HBO’s “The Leftovers” received was Ann Dowd’s Guest Actress nomination.

“I’m heartbroken this morning for my friends on ‘The Leftovers’ because I was really hoping to see some love for Justin [Theroux], who I think has been brave and deep for three years,” Coon told ET Canada. “[And] for Damon [Lindelof] whose storytelling…I’ve never seen anything quite like ‘The Leftovers’ on TV. I’m so proud of it and I think history will be very kind to the show but my heart breaks a little bit for my fellow ‘Leftovers’ this morning.”

In an interview with TheWrap, Coon revealed that her mom was expecting her to earn double nominations for this year’s Emmys. “My mom was disappointed — my mom was hoping for two Emmy nominations this morning,” Coon said with a laugh. “[I’m] like, ‘Mama, let’s be grateful for what we have.’”

The 69th Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony will be held on Sunday, Sept. 17 at the Microsoft Theater in Downtown Los Angeles, and will be broadcast by CBS.
