Variety invited all three breakout actors of the hit series #HeatedRivalry — Hudson Williams, Connor Storrie and François Arnaud — to participate in the upcoming #ActorsOnActors, but all of them declined. Variety Co-Editor-in-Chief Ramin Setoodeh says, “I’m certain they would have accepted the invitation if it weren’t for one key fact: ‘Heated Rivalry’ isn’t eligible for this year’s Emmys due to a rule technicality, since it’s made by Crave, a Canadian streamer.” Because the series did not originate on a U.S. network or streaming platform, it is ineligible for Emmy consideration. Perhaps the cast worried it would seem presumptuous to take part in a campaign-focused event for an award they cannot win. But Setoodeh questions the logic behind the rule, asking: “When a show captures the attention and affection of so many stateside, why does it matter where it was produced? Aren’t the Emmys supposed to be a celebration of what we actually watch?” wp.me/pc8uak-1lHksY
