Even season-long arcs on cable shows can count as "guest" (Julia Stiles and John Lithgow on Dexter, Margo Martindale on The Americans, Linda Cardellini on Mad Men, Diana Rigg on Game of Thrones) depending on how they're billed/entered.Mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-73397184383494942102013-09-06T11:15:30.368-04:002013-09-06T11:15:30.368-04:00I would agree that both Spoken Word Grammys and Be...I would agree that both Spoken Word Grammys and Best Guest Actor Emmys are of lower value.

That is, each award was won competitively by the person doing the thing he or she is most known for? Richard Rodgers', Rita Moreno's, Marvin Hamlisch's, Jonathan Tunick's (oddly enough), Mel Brooks', and Mike Nichols' would seem pretty pure. Helen Hayes' and John Gielgud's are good; depends on how close you feel a "spoken word" Emmy relates to acting. And I can let no mention of EGOT pass without noting the irony that longtime Sondheim orchestrator Tunick has one and Sondheim does not.Tosy and Coshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-1748652788993572612013-09-06T09:35:18.187-04:002013-09-06T09:35:18.187-04:00Surely we can find something for her on "Game...Surely we can find something for her on "Game of Thrones," right?lisasednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-39742544111212097832013-09-05T21:10:08.559-04:002013-09-05T21:10:08.559-04:00Whoops, meant to write Tony.
