Andor Receives 14 Emmy Nominations Despite Lead Actor Snubs

The second and final season of Disney+’s Andor, created by Tony Gilroy, received 14 Emmy nominations, marking it as the third most nominated Star Wars show after The Mandalorian’s first two seasons. Despite the nominations, key performances by Diego Luna (Cassian Andor) and Genevieve O’Reilly (Mon Mothma), among others, were notably snubbed, with Gilroy expressing disappointment but emphasizing these roles as long-term character studies that will gain recognition over time. Only two acting nominations were received, for Forest Whitaker and Alan Tudyk, while other critical aspects like production design and costume design were acknowledged. Gilroy highlighted the show as a deeply immersive and politically resonant project, reflecting contemporary social-political themes and drawing parallels to current events. He remains hopeful that the performances overlooked by the Emmys will ultimately be celebrated and discussed for years to come, underscoring the series’ lasting legacy in the Star Wars canon. Overall, Andor’s complex narrative and sophisticated storytelling continue to earn critical acclaim despite the Emmy snubs.
