After Harper set that precedent as Rhoda Morgenstern, she was followed by Cloris Leachman as Phyllis Lindstrom (supporting, “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” 1972-1974 lead, “Phyllis,” 1976) and Polly Holliday as Flo Castleberry (supporting, “Alice,” 1978-1980 lead, “Flo,” 1980). This subgroup has since grown to include Jennifer Aniston (“Friends”) and Janney (“Mom”).Īlso worth mentioning are the three actresses who were each nominated across both comedy categories for playing one character on two series. The first female supporting-to-lead instance on the comedy side involved Agnes Moorehead (“Bewitched”), who moved back to the featured category after being bumped up for one year. Moss’s case is special because her sole featured mention for “Mad Men” came between her first two of five lead bids for the show.
Wettig’s supporting (1988) and lead (1990-1991) victories made her the second woman to win both types of Emmys for playing one character, after Valerie Harper (comedy supporting, “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” 1971-1973 comedy lead, “Rhoda,” 1975).Īfter 2000, Allison Janney emulated Wettig by scoring both supporting (2000-2001) and lead (20) wins for “The West Wing.” She was then followed by cross-category drama contenders Elisabeth Moss (“Mad Men”) and Emilia Clarke (“Game of Thrones”). Those who were added to the list during the 20th century were Linda Cristal (“The High Chaparral”), Kristy McNichol (“Family”), Patricia Wettig (“Thirtysomething”), and Julianna Margulies (“ER”). Snook would be the eighth supporting-to-lead Emmy nominee to achieve the feat as a dramatic actress. Still, it was wise of her to step out of the way of “The White Lotus” cast member Jennifer Coolidge, whose own category change after winning last year’s movie/limited supporting actress award for the same show is widely expected to pay off. She lost on both outings to “Ozark” actress Julia Garner, who she wouldn’t have had to face again this year since the Netflix crime drama concluded well before the start of the current Emmys eligibility period. As a featured “Succession” performer, Snook earned her first two TV academy notices in 20.
