Jennifer Coolidge faithful to the secondary: The actress will not compete for the Emmy for Best Leading Actress for the second season of ‘The White Lotus’

Jennifer Coolidge has been one of the great winners of the year. Not so much because of the awards it has won (but also) but because of the unconditional support it has received from a large part of the public, which has raised it to the pedestal it has earned over decades of work in movies and series.

The actress had always remained in a secondary place, serving as a comic counterpoint to the protagonists whom he accompanied. Her face has appeared in films such as ‘Legally Blonde’, ‘A Modern Cinderella’ or ‘American Pie’. However, Thanks to ‘The White Lotus’, the hit HBO Max series, Coolidge has risen to the top.

Her role as Tanyathe bizarre millionaire who spends her summers in the luxurious White Lotus hotels, it has earned him a Golden Globe, an Emmy and numerous awards, to date. Now, with the new Emmys getting closer and closer (the ceremony will take place on September 17), the actress has decided to stay true to her high school role, and has nominated for the category of Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Seriesdespite the relevance it has had in both seasons.

The news comes in parallel to a similar one from Brian Cox, the imposing Logan Roy of ‘Succession’, who has followed the opposite strategy. Due to the relevance of his character in the plot, and despite his lesser appearance on screen this season, the actor is nominated for Best Leading Actor in a series.

Both news have been communicated, exclusively, by Varietywhich has contacted HBO and the representation agencies of the two interpreters.

At first it seemed that the actress of ‘The White Lotus’ could make the same movement as Cox, or Sarah Snook, also part of the main cast of ‘Succession’. However, Coolidge has preferred to ensure his race to the award in the cast category. This could get her her second Emmy, with the same series being held responsible for the win.

Recently, the actress also won the MTV Award for ‘Comedy Genius’, and dedicated her speech to supporting the American writers’ strike that is in full swing.

“Almost all good comedies start with great writers, and as a member of SAG, I stand with you tonight, side by side with my sisters and brothers in the Writers Guild of America,” said the actress.

The fate of this year’s Emmy gala is up in the air. Jennifer Coolidge, the actress of ‘The White Lotus’ who stole comedies, is already a star. Will we see her win again? Will she beat him to her partner, Audrey Plaza? She is, without a doubt, another of the great favorites of the second season … We will have to be attentive.

The first two seasons of ‘The White Lotus’ are available on streaming on HBO Max.
