The only Handmaid's actor nominated was Elizabeth Moss for Best Actress in a Drama Series. I love Lizzy but IMO Yvonne Strahovski was the better actress in season 5.
I assume Yvonne was submitted in the category of Best Supporting Actress which was a very crowded field.
Yvonne had so much screen time in season 5 that I wonder why she wasn't submitted in the Best Actress category.

They do not deserve an Emmy. It was a horrible ending, and Yvonne didn't do anything to receive an Emmy for.
I disagree since I'm a huge Yvonne fan.
yeah i adore Yvonne but this season was terrible and they really dropped the ball on the series
I think the shows lost it's wow factor with the massive breaks between seasons. You kinda have to keep momentum going, and it's pretty much gone now.
Apparently, the Emmy voters agreed.
I enjoyed season 5. For me, Serena has become more interesting than June.
None of them deserve an Emmy. Especially not Moss, it was nothing more than she’s given for five seasons. That last season was trash and imo nearly killed the series.
I don't understand EM's nomination.
Agree. I can't stand the character. And the fact that she convinced people to sympathize with her made he hate her even more.
Whatever you feel about Serena, Yvonne is fabulous in that role.
Completely agree. She's such a good actor that I absolutely cannot stand her!
I'm a huge Yvonne fan, but I think Yvonne's best season was season 2 from a performance and writing perspective so unless the show's writing suddenly improves a bunch in the last season and it earns the acclaim it once had, her chances of getting another nomination for playing Serena are slim. The show's caliber has faded and now Elisabeth Moss' acting is considered to be the one saving grace holding it together by critics. Plus, EM has always been and still is the show's best chance at winning Emmys, so even if Yvonne had screentime close to lead actress territory, she would probably be advised to submit in the supporting category to not split the votes with EM because EM has a better chance of being nominated and winning.
Yeah, It was. Probably would’ve been better off in the lead category. Anyway, I watched white lotus and absolutely loved it. It was great, but no one can convince me that 5 people from that show were more deserving. But it’s a popularity contest, THT has fallen out of favor in recent year, so not a huge surprise there. Too bad, Yvonne did her best work this season.
Yvonne was fabulous in season 5. It's a shame that Elizabeth got a nomination and Yvonne didn't.
Maybe season 6 will give Yvonne a big role and she'll finally win that Emmy.
I haven't watched White Lotus yet but I've almost finished binging The Last of Us. It's a great show and the two lead actors absolutely deserved their nominations.
I am afraid her best chance has come and gone. I am glad THT is over next year (should’ve ended in 5 seasons), everyone can just move on.
