Half Man Emmys Submissions: Richard Gadd for Supporting Role, Jamie Bell Takes Lead

Saying goodbye is never easy, but that’s exactly what the “Half Man” Emmy submissions are doing as they prepare for the big night. The HBO Max miniseries, created by Richard Gadd, has officially submitted its 21 Emmy nominations, and the lineup is looking pretty exciting.

Jamie Bell and Mitchell Robertson, who play different versions of Niall Kennedy, are both up for the lead actor (limited) category. Meanwhile, Richard Gadd and Stuart Campbell, who bring life to the older and younger Ruben Pallister, are seeking recognition in the supporting actor category.

But it’s not just the main stars in the spotlight. Neve McIntosh, who plays Niall’s mother Lori, and Amy Manson, who portrays the older version of Niall’s girlfriend Mona, are also vying for the supporting actress title.

The series itself tells the story of Ruben and Niall, two brothers bound by a shared past but not by blood. After a life-changing event thirty years in the making, they reunite at Niall’s wedding, and things take an unexpected turn that unravels their intertwined lives.

Variety’s chief TV critic, Aramide Tinubu, hailed the series as “an excellent but difficult watch,” noting its deep exploration of violence and the profound impact it has on the characters’ lives. If you’re ready for a gripping and thought-provoking series that delves into the complexities of relationships and the scars they leave behind, “Half Man” might just be the show for you.
