” earned several well-deserved nods, including limited series, as well as actor and directing for limited series or a movie. It also cleaned up in the limited series supporting actor and actress categories — but that’s where it raised a few eyebrows among Netflix competitors.
But because that’s not spelled out in the rules, a number of awards campaigners have told me they assumed that only meant the time a performer is seen on camera — and they have been meticulous in using a stopwatch to make sure their submission reaches that 5% threshold. “I literally had to track every moment [my supporting actor submission] was on screen, as he qualified by only minutes,” one outlet’s head of awards told me. “The rules don’t state that clearly.
