Excerpt:
Jonathan Bailey, Fellow Travelers (Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie)
“Playing Tim Laughlin was the experience of a lifetime, and I will carry him with me always. For this experience to be recognized in this way, and alongside Matt, my ultimate co-pilot, is truly beyond measure.
"It is not lost on me that this sort of recognition is rare. I’ve grown up savoring the minimal queer television and film on offer whilst battling problematic media and societal criticism of queer life. I have loved so many award winning dramatic performances of gay characters but for Matt and I to be nominated together as gay actors feels like the sort of progress that would have made the world an easier place to grow up in. For that I am grateful and so unbelievably proud. Thank you to the TV Academy for this opportunity.
"I share this with Ron, Matt, Noah, Jelani, Allison, the entire Fellow Travelers family. And of course, with Tim and all the other angels who fought before us.”

Jonathan’s reaction was so lovely ☺️. I’m so proud of him I pray he wins. Bridgerton did him wrong by nit submitting his scene of Anthony’s breakdown in ep 8 hut pushed for 6 with another character chewing scenery. It’s not like they highlighted Simone. They were both sidelined in their season. So I’m happy Jonny is in a show where he’s properly promoted and is getting his flowers with these nominations.
Yes!! Get in, Jessica!
