Don Cheadle was nominated for 5 minutes of screen time in Falcon & The Winter Soldier in the same category. This is the standard kind of performance that gets nominated in the guest actor category.
Brad Pitt won the award for a 2 minute appearance on SNL or something. Emmys aren't setting the standard very high while awarding it.
He was nominated for the appearance he did on Dave as well if I remember correctly fantastic episode of television.
Honestly, if they do another season, it'll fail in comparison to that one episode.
Unfortunately I haven't dived back into the show after Season 1. I'll resume whenever it comes back with a new season now.
no he was not nominated for dave, love that show though. For those downvoting me, where do you see that brad pitt got nominated for an emmy in the show dave?
You don’t get nominated for multiple appearances, you pick one. And I pray to god nobody picked their appearance on “Dave”
Brad Pitt was nominated for his guest role on Friends opposite his former wife Jennifer Aniston and for playing Dr. Fauci on SNL. He has won an Emmy as a producer, not as an actor.
Brad Pitt should have won for his shocking appearance in Deadpool 2.
Hard to win an Emmy for a theatrical film appearance.
The performance was just THAT good!
An Oscar then!
Definitely should win for his appearance in Dave S3. That was my favorite ep of the series.
Haha agree. That shit was wild.
DO THE ACCENT, BRAD
oh dang how did I miss Dave S03, yay something to watch
He should have won for his Dave appearance, what an episode.

That definitely created some buzz
Really? I thought it went mostly unseen.
What you did. It's there. And I see it.
No award show is. They’re all meant to drum up excitement about the industry and advertise on behalf of all the producers that invested money into a movie/tv show
Retroactive Emmy for his friends appearance
Brad didn't win, but he was nominated.
In 2005 Ellen Burstyn was nominated for an Emmy for her role in the TV movie Mrs. Harris. Her total screen time: 14 seconds
Wasn’t Don Cheadle briefly in Always Sunny as well?
That was Tiger Woods.
You’re thinking of Donovan McNabb.
“Always Sunny” has cameos by Don Cheadle, Donavan McNabb and Tiger Woods with absolutely no nominations, so I dunno how much I can believe that.
It feels like they’re all just phoning it in on Always Sunny, like those (black) guys know the main cast will carry them.
Google is free
I googled. Don Cheadle, Tiger Woods, and Donavan McNabb have not been nominated once for their performance in “Always Sunny”.
I think you mean Don Skrulldle
I remember Cheadle tweeting something like "I don't get it either" and a shrug emoji after that nomination LMAO.
How about mahershala ali for moonlight? He was in that movie what 15 minutes and won an academy award for it
There’s specifically a guest actor award and he was a guest actor.
Someone is going to the win the guest actor award for a guest appearance. So why not him?
As the article shows, he appears for around twice as long as the minimum requirements stipulate. It’s short, but it’s also perfectly legit.
~~ It’s short, but it’s also perfectly legit.
That line is worthy of a refrigerator magnet!
TITLE OF YOUR SEX TAPE!
Hey, it’s Jake Peralta!
Or a bumper sticker.
Come on, it may be short, but calling it a bumper is just mean.
That's what she said.
Adding that end part to my tinder bio
Maestro daestroyed his mental.
Because his performance wasn’t award worthy. That’s why.
The dude looks down at his mark
“ABC and awards strategists confirm to Variety that the studio has submitted the actor for guest comedy actor consideration for this year’s awards.”
Clickbait headline designed to continue to make people hate Bradley Cooper more for no reason
Yeah ,there will probably be 200 +performances on the ballot for guest comedy actor. Of course a network tv show which won the previous season would submit him and other guest performers on the show.
He's an awesome actor, but he roots for the Eagles. . .
Go birds...
Ladies and gentlemen, this man is for the birds!
E
A
Which makes me like him even more.
Why would this make us hate him? It didn't strike me that way at all.
It’s going along with the idea that he’s some sort of award hungry egomaniac, same with the Oscar stuff.
The headline is making it sound like he’s the one who submitted his own Emmy nom for a 2 minute guest feature, continuing the idea he is award hungry with the huge ego
He’s just so thirsty for awards imo I couldn’t listen to the press for Maestro because it was so masturbatory. The ego on that dude is something else.
Makes sense cuz the movie was masturbatory also
Me too
I assume he has a whole team of employees looking for any and every award his work can be submitted for.
These nominations are submitted by the studio. He does not have a say in it.
Isn't that basically standard? How else do you think people win awards, other than studio staffers submitting their works for consideration?
There are many reasons to hate Bradley Cooper, but this is certainly not one of them.
What is? All I know is some of his acting work and it seems to range from okay to good.
This title makes it sound like Bradley Cooper himself submitted his performance. It was the studio that submitted it.
Guys. This is most likely his agency doing this. Not him directly doing this. The big agencies do this a ton.
He spent 6 years learning how to submit himself to the Emmys
I’m wheezing, that was solid 😂
No way man. He taped the show on VHS, edited some graphics into it talking about how awesome he is and then wrapped it in brown paper and packing tape and sent it into the Emmys.
It was ABC

sure, whatever
(because your fact doesn’t matter btw)
I downvoted you for crying about being downvoted.
I think its a rule, you have to down vote what's already negative
Abbott has had a handful of quick cameos this season.
Cooper, eagles players, quest love, Kevin Hart
Terrific actor. I wish him well.
egot time
More like ego time.
They usually go hand in hand
EGOTing is a good goal for a talented crazy person.
Why are all of these comments bitter?
It’s a joke guys, he’s obviously not serious.
It’s not that serious, but it’s also not a joke. Studios submit tiny parts for awards all the time, especially when it’s a famous name that could draw support based on name recognition.
I think it’s serious but it’s a way to get recognition for that show. He doesn’t need a 2 minute tv spot so I have to assume he cares about it as a fan or a fan of its message (I’m not a viewer but my understanding is that it highlights the problems faced by public school faculty in Philadelphia).
If he wins and accepts the award and makes a speech not centered around himself then it’s a literal win for him and a big PR bump for the show hopefully. This sort of highlights a bigger problem with the ‘official’ award space but you can’t blame the guy for working with what he has.
I get what you’re saying but this isn’t some small time show, it’s one of the bigger shows on network TV and has won multiple Emmys
What about the article makes it sound like it’s a joke?
It's not him submitting the nom in the first place, it's the studio. The headline is just designed to get people to rage I guess.
How can you be sure?
