Clive Owen Splits His Emmy Submissions for ‘Monsieur Spade’ and ‘A Murder at the End of the World’ in Separate Categories (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comClayton Davis Senior Awards Editor Clive Owen hopes to divide and conquer with his dual Emmy submissions this year. With two competing limited series in the Emmys race, the star will be submitting his two acclaimed performances in AMC’s “Monsieur Spade” and Hulu’s “A Murder at the End of the World” in separate acting categories, Variety has learned exclusively.
For his work as detective Sam Spade in AMC’s neo-noir miniseries “Monsieur Spade,” he’ll remain as expected in the highly competitive lead actor in a limited series or TV movie race, where he’ll face potential contenders such as Jon Hamm (“Fargo”) and Tom Hollander (“Feud: Capote vs.
the Swans”). However, regarding his turn in Hulu’s psychological thriller “A Murder at the End of the World,” he’ll seek Emmy consideration as a supporting actor, eyeing competition in actors like Jonathan Bailey (“Fellow Travelers”) and Lewis Pullman (“Lessons in Chemistry”), and leaving his co-star Emma Corrin as the sole lead.
