The late actor was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama for his role in the HBO show ‘Lovecraft Country’ but lost the award to Tobias Menzies of ‘The Crown’
While the late Michael K. Williams was nominated for an Emmy for his performance in Lovecraft Country, the award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama went to another actor.
As theGrio previously reported, Williams tragically passed away earlier this month on Sept. 6. The actor is known for esteemed roles in shows like The Wire, Boardwalk Empire, When They See Us, and most recently, HBO’s hit Lovecraft Country.
Williams was nominated for his role in the series, and many of his fans around the world were hoping the Emmy would go to the late artist. While Williams was not posthumously awarded Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama, he did receive a tribute from Kerry Washington.
