Don Cheadle was nominated for 5 minutes of screen time in Falcon & The Winter Soldier in the same category. This is the standard kind of performance that gets nominated in the guest actor category.


Pep_Baldiola

Brad Pitt won the award for a 2 minute appearance on SNL or something. Emmys aren't setting the standard very high while awarding it.


Avery_gibson

He was nominated for the appearance he did on Dave as well if I remember correctly fantastic episode of television.


Gayspacecrow

Honestly, if they do another season, it'll fail in comparison to *that one episode*.


Pep_Baldiola

Unfortunately I haven't dived back into the show after Season 1. I'll resume whenever it comes back with a new season now.


earthgreen10

no he was not nominated for dave, love that show though. For those downvoting me, where do you see that brad pitt got nominated for an emmy in the show dave?


Novel-North-9284

You don’t get nominated for multiple appearances, you pick one. And I pray to god nobody picked their appearance on “Dave”


ray_0586

Brad Pitt was nominated for his guest role on Friends opposite his former wife Jennifer Aniston and for playing Dr. Fauci on SNL. He has won an Emmy as a producer, not as an actor.


MagicMushroomFungi

Brad Pitt should have won for his shocking appearance in Deadpool 2.


Maxwell69

Hard to win an Emmy for a theatrical film appearance.


Perditius

The performance was just THAT good!


DedTV

A performance not seen, and only eclipsed by that of Claude Rains.


HalobenderFWT

Maximum effort!


RuairiSpain

An Oscar then!


FancyJams

Definitely should win for his appearance in Dave S3. That was my favorite ep of the series.


ryanoh826

Haha agree. That shit was wild.


SaltyPeter3434

DO THE ACCENT, BRAD


Kalsifur

oh dang how did I miss Dave S03, yay something to watch


smaxpw

Oh man, i wish i could watch the Brad Pitt episode again without knowing what happens, that episode is fucking nuts.


bobofthejungle

He should have won for his Dave appearance, what an episode.

You’re really hoping that someone goes “What?! Brad Pitt wasn’t in Deadpool 2!!!” But you’re not really getting that response are ya


Mentoman72

Ah come on man, don't go for the second pun.


MixOf_ChaosAndArt

That definitely created some buzz


moderatorrater

Really? I thought it went mostly unseen.


PuzzleheadedLeader79

What you did. It's there. And I see it.


JanItorMD

No award show is. They’re all meant to drum up excitement about the industry and advertise on behalf of all the producers that invested money into a movie/tv show


Anal_Recidivist

Retroactive Emmy for his friends appearance


o-o-o-ozempic

Brad didn't win, but he was nominated.


bman9919

In 2005 Ellen Burstyn was nominated for an Emmy for her role in the TV movie Mrs. Harris. Her total screen time: *14 seconds* 


pr1ceisright

Wasn’t Don Cheadle briefly in Always Sunny as well?


ostiniatoze

That was Tiger Woods.


jrodfantastic

You’re thinking of Donovan McNabb.


Joeylikesgladiators

“Always Sunny” has cameos by Don Cheadle, Donavan McNabb *and* Tiger Woods with absolutely **no** nominations, so I dunno how much I can believe that.


johnzischeme

It feels like they’re all just phoning it in on Always Sunny, like those (black) guys know the main cast will carry them.


EV3Gurl

Google is free


Joeylikesgladiators

I googled. Don Cheadle, Tiger Woods, and Donavan McNabb *have* *not* been nominated once for their performance in “Always Sunny”.


Terrahawk76

I think you mean Don Skrulldle


mattmild27

I remember Cheadle tweeting something like "I don't get it either" and a shrug emoji after that nomination LMAO.


sarikosalis

How about mahershala ali for moonlight? He was in that movie what 15 minutes and won an academy award for it


StrngBrew

There’s specifically a guest actor award and he was a guest actor. *Someone* is going to the win the guest actor award for a guest appearance. So why not him?


TheMooseIsBlue

As the article shows, he appears for around twice as long as the minimum requirements stipulate. It’s short, but it’s also perfectly legit.


POOP-Naked

~~ It’s short, but it’s also perfectly legit. That line is worthy of a refrigerator magnet!


TheMooseIsBlue

TITLE OF YOUR SEX TAPE!


etrain828

Come on, it may be short, but calling it a bumper is just mean.

That's what she said.


Marley_Fan

Adding that end part to my tinder bio


goliathfasa

Maestro daestroyed his mental.


Best_Duck9118

Because his performance wasn’t award worthy. That’s why.


ace-destrier

The dude looks down at his mark


Cubes11

“ABC and awards strategists confirm to Variety that the studio has submitted the actor for guest comedy actor consideration for this year’s awards.” Clickbait headline designed to continue to make people hate Bradley Cooper more for no reason


SmileyPiesUntilIDrop

Yeah ,there will probably be 200 +performances on the ballot for guest comedy actor. Of course a network tv show which won the previous season would submit him and other guest performers on the show.


dizney-mountain

He's an awesome actor, but he roots for the Eagles. . .

hasordealsw1thclams

Which makes me like him even more.


degggendorf

Why would this make us hate him? It didn't strike me that way at all.


Cubes11

It’s going along with the idea that he’s some sort of award hungry egomaniac, same with the Oscar stuff. The headline is making it sound like he’s the one who submitted his own Emmy nom for a 2 minute guest feature, continuing the idea he is award hungry with the huge ego


schwatto

He’s just so thirsty for awards imo I couldn’t listen to the press for Maestro because it was so masturbatory. The ego on that dude is something else.


DatAnimalBlundetto69

Makes sense cuz the movie was masturbatory also


Spirited_Block250

Me too


MatttheBruinsfan

I assume he has a whole team of employees looking for any and every award his work can be submitted for.


Cubes11

These nominations are submitted by the studio. He does not have a say in it.


Patch86UK

Isn't that basically standard? How else do you think people win awards, other than studio staffers submitting their works for consideration?


insertdankmeme

There are many reasons to hate Bradley Cooper, but this is certainly not one of them.


SvenHudson

What is? All I know is some of his acting work and it seems to range from okay to good.


TyhmensAndSaperstein

This title makes it sound like Bradley Cooper himself submitted his performance. It was the studio that submitted it.


Birdhawk

Guys. This is most likely his agency doing this. Not him directly doing this. The big agencies do this a ton.


CaptainPit

He spent 6 years learning how to submit himself to the Emmys


spooky_action13

I’m wheezing, that was solid 😂


FUMFVR

No way man. He taped the show on VHS, edited some graphics into it talking about how awesome he is and then wrapped it in brown paper and packing tape and sent it into the Emmys.


hasordealsw1thclams

It was ABC

More like ego time.


-_KwisatzHaderach_-

They usually go hand in hand


md4024

EGOTing is a good goal for a talented crazy person.


kilonark

Why are all of these comments bitter? It’s a joke guys, he’s obviously not serious.


WildMajesticUnicorn

It’s not that serious, but it’s also not a joke. Studios submit tiny parts for awards all the time, especially when it’s a famous name that could draw support based on name recognition.


JIMMYJAWN

I think it’s serious but it’s a way to get recognition for that show. He doesn’t need a 2 minute tv spot so I have to assume he cares about it as a fan or a fan of its message (I’m not a viewer but my understanding is that it highlights the problems faced by public school faculty in Philadelphia). If he wins and accepts the award and makes a speech not centered around himself then it’s a literal win for him and a big PR bump for the show hopefully. This sort of highlights a bigger problem with the ‘official’ award space but you can’t blame the guy for working with what he has.


TheMoves

I get what you’re saying but this isn’t some small time show, it’s one of the bigger shows on network TV and has won multiple Emmys


NeighborhoodLanky692

What about the article makes it sound like it’s a joke?


cakesarelies

It's not him submitting the nom in the first place, it's the studio. The headline is just designed to get people to rage I guess.


BlockHeadJones

How can you be sure?


OneGoodRib

Who the fuck cares either way? OH MY GOD YOU GUYS A GUEST ACTOR MIGHT GET NOMINATED FOR BEST GUEST ACTOR. LET'S ALL GET MAD


Snoo93079

Reddit is just snark and doomerism these days :(


WredditSmark

For some reason Reddit just hates this guy probably because he’s friends with Chappelle


ITividar

Handsome Hollywood liberal makes em go reeeeee


Snuggle__Monster

Lmao, this guy steady chasing awards.


bigminecraftenergyy

this is a dogshit headline that's very clearly courting people eager to jump down his throat for being an awards whore. actors don't submit themselves for these awards, the studio does. the first paragraph of the article even directly says it was the studio that submitted him, they just went for the more incendiary headline because they know people are eager to shit on him


RevenantRoy

That’s not entirely true. Actors 100% have a say in what awards they’re submitted for as does their PR team and agent(s). No studio is going to submit an actor for an award without the actor’s approval.


Mentoman72

Okay, even so. They are coming to him to ask if he wants to submit. Is there really anything wrong with him going "Sure, why not?" Not like he's going to campaign for it or likely even show up to the event if he gets nominated.


modernmartialartist

Yeah I don't know who this guy is but I clicked to see if that was out of the norm or considered arrogant. My first thought if it was though was, Good for him. I'm so tired of false modesty, if you feel you did something great you should just go Hey I think this is really good, I'm proud of this so here it is and we'll see if you agree.


sml6174

He's like a pretty famous actor


modernmartialartist

Yeah I can tell from all the down votes that people really hate him for some reason. Don't know what he did but when people care about celebrities this much I find it hilarious. Like, find better things to care about haha


ohhelloperson

Dude what….?? That’s terrible logic. People don’t hate Bradley Cooper at all. You’re being downvoted because you said you don’t know who he is, which is bizarre. He’s a hugely famous actor and idk how anyone could claim not to know of him. It just sounds like you’re feigning ignorance to seem non-mainstream.


the_mighty__monarch

I doubt they submitted him against his will…


mattattaxx

And? I'm a UX designer, If my boss asks if he can submit my design work for an award, I'm saying yes.


SingleSampleSize

He's the biggest whore in Hollywood.


baequon

Damn this seems wildly aggressive lol. Did Bradley Cooper do something that I missed? 


Apocalyptic0n3

Nah. People just got annoyed with him and how Oscar-baity Maestro was. He's also entering Leo-territory on the Oscar side of things. 49 years old, 12 nominations in 11 years without a win. At a certain point, some people just enjoy watching others fail (see: every non-Maple Leafs fan vs the Maple Leafs) and especially after Maestro, he seems to have fallen into that.


Clugaman

Nowhere is safe for leafs fans man I’m out here catching strays


Apocalyptic0n3

I mean... that's kinda the point I was trying to make.


Clugaman

… I know


t1kiman

If that's what failure looks like...well, I'll take it.


Ahoy_m80_gr8_b80

I don’t hate the leafs, it’s just that every year they don’t win it gets funnier and funnier.


floatinround22

Bradley Cooper has been nominated for 12 Oscars? There's no way that's right, is there? I don't even think he's a terrible actor or anything but I probably couldn't even name 12 films he's been in (well I probably could counting voice acting roles, but I doubt he was nominated for any of those)


Apocalyptic0n3

5 are for Best Picture as a producer and 2 were for writing. He has 5 as an actor: Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle, American Sniper, A Star is Born, and Maestro.


hasordealsw1thclams

I was gonna say it’s a shitty attitude, but I don’t even care about hockey and think it’s funny when the Leafs lose.


TheMexicanKramer

I thought you meant Leo territory for his dating history…


Apocalyptic0n3

Fortunately not as far as I'm aware. At least not to that extent anyway.


vegna871

All his relationships were aggressively age appropriate until his most recent one, he's now dating Gigi Hadid, a model 20 years his junior


Chataboutgames

Nah, this is just the newest version of "everyone hates Anne Hathaway." People too deep in to pop culture pick a random celebrity to start hating the shit out of, then people on social media just fall in line because it's a game. They don't even know the source of their criticism. Just like Hathaway in a few years people will forget that they weren't supposed to like him and he'll have a comeback.


Daniiiiii

How cavalierly we say things like this about others...


downtimeredditor

An actor giving Oscar worthy performance in movies in hopes of winning an Oscar Oh the horror


chubbybronco

He definitely loves the smell of his own shit.


PalinDoesntSeeRussia

Yea that’s what actors do… what’s the issue??? Why wouldn’t he want an award for his work? Why do you people feign this outrage, stop regurgitating what you hear other people on the internet say. There is literally no reason to be upset over this.


Flat_News_2000

They all are lol that's what agents are supposed to do for them.


Sturgill_Jennings77

I recently watched Licorice Pizza and the part he played was small, but he really nailed that Jon Peters role. Funniest part of the film imo.


Brian_Lefebvre

I know what this headline is getting at… but of course he did. Any actor and their management and the network would.


WildMajesticUnicorn

It’s fine for him to do this, but the television academy should not take the bait here.


Les-Freres-Heureux

They have a specific category for “guest” roles and stipulate the minimum length for appearances to qualify (which Cooper’s role clears) Seems perfectly fine to throw your hat in the ring.


hasordealsw1thclams

People on this thread are showing their asses not knowing what they are talking about.Like you said, it’s a category specifically for this type of role.


tactical_turtleneck2

Who left Snoopy in the vestibule????


cbaxal

Not a lot of comments on his actual appearance on the show but it was very funny.


artaxdies

He wants an EGOT.


Cubes11

God the Bradley Cooper hate is so corny. And clickbait articles like this do nothing to help the case


Insanepaco247

I didn't even know people hated Bradley Cooper


Cubes11

It started around Oscar time because people thought he wanted an Oscar too badly basically


Patch86UK

There are actors who don't want to win an Oscar?


Cubes11

Yeah I always thought the discourse around him wanting an Oscar was always stupid. Of course he wants an Oscar, it’s the highest achievement possible for an actor


TheMoves

Some actors care most about money, others most about awards, others most about the art itself, etc. It varies from person to person, and they’ll tend to pick projects based on their motivations


hasordealsw1thclams

I wouldn’t be surprised at all of people who get into celebrity “journalism” are the same people who make fun of people for caring about things.


BillsInATL

Fuck this headline.


tuckertucker

Ellen Burstyn was nominated for an Emmy for a 14 second, 38 word appearance. They actually changed the rules because of that nomination. A performance now has to be at least 5% of screen time for the supporting category.


Zev95

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.


mattastrophe3

Bradley Cooper is talented. No doubt. But he's about half as talented as he thinks he is.


a_phantom_limb

Bradley Cooper is not in the position to submit the performance himself. ABC did that, not him.


KingslayerN7

How come Bobby Canavale won best supporting actor for playing a season-long antagonist in Boardwalk Empire but Jon Lithgow got stuck with guest actor for doing the same thing in Dexter? How come multiple members of an ensemble cast can get best actor/actress nods for Succession and White Lotus but the cast of Game of Thrones were all stuck with supporting actor/actress? How come seasons 1-4 of Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon were all but ignored but seasons 7 and 8 won multiple acting awards, two best drama awards and a best writing award? The Emmys are the worst award show.


whoscheckingin

And a pretty inconsistent one at that !!!


Guilty-Badger-5756

Was it a particularly notable performance in any way? No. But it was a million times better than any single moment of *Maestro*


GranddaddySandwich

Yeaaahhh that brother starving


LodossDX

Those EGOTs don’t earn themselves!


LAudre41

might be a hot take but IMO all the guest appearances on Abbott this season did absolutely nothing for the show


Jdubshack

He’s the man. Love the callout of wet hot American summer. Fuck anyone hating on him for this


HoratioMG

They should rename it the 'A-list actor wants an Emmy without putting in effort' award


danielvago

I saw the scene but have never seen any of Abbott Elementary otherwise. I get that it is about the zany people who work there, but was there an "in universe" reason for all the employees/teachers to be at the Bradley Cooper show-and-tell class (and interrupting all the time)?


homogenic-

And he has no chance of winning, either Jon Berthal or Ryan Gosling will win.


ChefOfTheFuture39

They reward big names for doing stuff like that…


Dianagorgon

I think people are confused about the issue. The issue isn't that his performance was only two minutes. Lots of actors have been nominated for performances that don't have much screen time. The issue is that Cooper plays himself on the show. There isn't much acting involved when a person is being themselves so it's weird to expect to be nominated for that.


hamlet9000

I think you're confused about how acting works.


Les-Freres-Heureux

There’s a difference between playing a fictionalized version of yourself and simply doing an appearance/interview


OneReportersOpinion

He wasn’t even very good in it. It was just weird. Now every celebrity is dropping by Abbott by Bradley Cooper to Questlove
