Last night I dreamed...
I hear that Julian McMahon is in a production of Death of a Salesman. I start to watch a trailer on TV. I don't see him in the beginning, so I make the assumption he has a small part. Then moments later, I see he doesn't actually have a small part. He has the main part. He plays Willy Loman.
I was trying to figure out the meaning of the dream this morning.Then I realized it's the opposite of what happened to me with Bloodline. I just finished watching season two. Since Ben Mendelsohn won an award for the show, I figured somehow his character would be in it a large amount. He wasn't. He was hardly on the show at all.
I'm wondering if he won the award for season one and not season two. That would make more sense. He was in season one much more.
I just looked at the Emmy website. Mendelsohn won for 2016. Lord Wiki says that's for television programming from June 1, 2015 to May 31, 2016. When was Bloodline?
Well...according to IMDb, the first season wouldn't have made the cut. It's dated as March 20, 2015.
Season two made the deadline by four days! Yikes.
Mendelsohn beat out two guys from Game of Thrones—Peter Dinklage and Kit Harrington. I was going to argue that those guys were in their show much more than Mendelsohn was in his. But I'm rethinking that. The thing with Game of Thrones is there are SO many characters. Each actor probably doesn't have that much screen time.
I think the difference, though, with Game of Thrones is that Dinklage and Harrington, compared to their costars, do have a lot of screen time. In contrast, Mendelsohn seemed to have much less screen time than many of his co-stars.
Some might argue it's not about quantity. It's about quality. I agree.
I think Mendelsohn is a fantastic actor and deserving of many acting awards. I can't say, though, that there was anything in his performance for season two that really wowed me. I was actually much more impressed with Owen Teague, who played Mendelsohn's son. If it had been up to me, I would have given Teague the Emmy.
I definitely wouldn't have hesitated to give Mendelsohn the Emmy for season one of Bloodline. His performance was superb in that.
