The nomination is this year’s Emmy Awards, and as always, one of the biggest stories is about rejected performers and performers.
Ando – Disney+ original series, prequel Rogue One: The Star Wars Story – Outstanding performance in 14 Emmy nominations, including Best Drama Series.
However, the only actor who received the nod was Forest Whitaker and Alan Tudyk They are guest stars and dubbing respectively.
This beat one of the best performances of 2025 StellanSkarsgårdand huge turns Genevieve O’Leary and series stars Diego Luna. Here are some of the reasons why their performance deserves recognition and appreciation.
Stellan Skarsgård improves the entire series with his performance

I hope every actor is here Ando Nominated for Emmy Award. However, this series is a showcase for actors with incredible support for actors including Adria Arjona,,,,, Denise Gough,,,,, Kyle Soller,,,,, Elizabeth Dulau There are others.
However, Skarsgård’s Luthen Rael stands above the rest with his strength and moral ambiguity. Even in the first season, Luthen publicly stated that he was cursed for using the Empire’s tactics, but he was still ruthless and unapologetic.
Ando Season 2 didn’t give Skarsgård a monologue that matched his best scenes since Season 1, but he stole the show every time on screen. Even in Luthen’s last appearance, Skarsgård had more opportunities to show the depth of his character in an extended flashback, turning his transformation into a rebel.
Genevieve O’Reilly revitalizes underutilized roles

Mon Mothma has always been Star Wars Franchise since 1983 Return of the Jedibut it wasn’t until she really became a fulfilling character Andotwo seasons. O’Reilly in The Revenge of the Sith and Rogue Onebut that’s what the series brought to her real communication, and then she ran away.
Mothma’s arc on the show is about a politician who has to sacrifice everything she has to keep rebellious, including the love of her family and her own morality. O’Reilly is particularly good at conveying Mothma’s quiet despair when compromised. She is also convincing when Mothma enjoys a big moment in Season 2 when she strongly denounces the Empire and risks her life in the process. While the best supporting actress in the drama is the crowded category this year, O’Reilly should be nominated for at least her excellent work.
Diego Luna

Calling Luna the third best actor in her own performance seems like a faint compliment, but it is simply because he is surrounded by the talented Costas. This show is in his Rogue One Character, if Luna fails to embody Cassian Andor’s transition from a simple thief to a revolutionary who is willing to give his life to end the empire, it will not work.
Luna may not have received an incredible monologue of the quieter dramatic moments endured by Skarsgård’s Luthen or O’Reilly Mothma, but he performed with a single focus. But when Cassian’s emotions surfaced, Luna showed one of the best performances of his career. This is not enough to be recognized as one of the best actors in the drama, but the legend of Cassian Andor Star Wars The universe will live outside the Emmy Awards.
Ando Season 1 and 2 are streaming on Disney+.
