Uncanny Resemblance of Jeremy Allen White’s Emmy Win With One Frustrating ‘The Bear’ Storyline is No Less Than a Gut Punch For Fans
- While Jeremy Allen White wins his second Emmy for Best Actor in a Comedy Series, Ayo Edebiri hasn't been recognized for her talents, much like her character Sydney in The Bear.
- Fans are outraged over this snub as Edebiri pulls her weight in the series to make it as popular as it has become in today's time.
- The Bear is streaming on Hulu.
Nobody can deny that The Bear series has managed to sweep the Emmys once again because of its relevance among the masses and the exceptional performance of all cast members. From a fresh storyline to apt casting including Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri, all these aspects together elevate the overall appeal of the comedy-drama series.
White plays the lead role of a son who returns to his roots to take his family’s legacy forward despite wanting different things in life. Set in the cutthroat culinary world, the fictional restaurant’s success hinges on the chef’s ability to be creative and innovative.
The Bear storyline that got manifested in Reality
In the series, we always see Carmen’s character get all the fame and success no matter who puts in the hard work and dedication behind the scenes. Since he’s the face of the restaurant and the head chef, people automatically assume that he’s the biggest driver of success for the restaurant. Naturally, other chefs and members of the team get shoved to the sidelines while everyone praises Carmen for his exceptional work.
The same situation from The Bear seems to become a reality as Jeremy Allen White wins his second Emmy for Best Actor in a Comedy Series. On the other hand, Ayo Edebiri hasn’t been recognized for her talents, much like her character Sydney in The Bear. Fans are gutted over this loss as Edebiri has repeatedly proved her mettle in the industry and deserves her due soon.
She won the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in Comedy Series last year. However, she was nominated in the lead actor category this year and didn’t manage to win. Jean Smart bagged the category for the third time for her performance in the show Hacks.
While White is undeniably a great actor and deserves to be appreciated for his work, it’s unfair how other actors are treated during the awards season even when there’s such a debate going on about The Bear’s inclusion in the comedy category, despite having minimal comedic tropes.
Fans are upset over Emmy snubbing Ayo Edebiri
One major reason why this situation has caused an uproar among fans is that the Emmy awards are infamous for rarely awarding women of color in the lead category. Fans are outraged over this snub as Edebiri pulls her weight in the series to make it as popular as it has become in today’s time.
Moreover, many fans claim that her character Sydney is probably the only one who brings an air of fun and humor to the show. Therefore, not awarding her in the lead category is a huge letdown.
Another possible reason for the same could be how Edebiri’s character did not get enough standout moments in the latest season for her to make an impactful impression. Nevertheless, the actress deserves to win accolades for her performance in the future as well.
The Bear is streaming on Hulu.
