Conversations with Ricky Martin THE ASSASSINATION OF GIANNI VERSACE: AMERICAN CRIME STORY

All 7 Emmy episodes revealed for Best Movie/Limited Series Supporting Actor (Exclusive)

Gold Derby can exclusively reveal all of the Emmy episode submissions for the 2018 contenders as Best Movie/Limited Series Supporting Actor. While lead actors and actresses must enter their entire projects, supporting players are allowed to submit just one installment of their limited series. Let’s take a look at the choices made by these seven men: Jeff Daniels (“Godless”), Brandon Victor Dixon (“Jesus Christ Superstar”), John Leguizamo (“Waco”), Michael Stuhlbarg (“The Looming Tower”) and Ricky Martin, Edgar Ramirez and Finn Wittrock (all of “The Assassination of Gianni Versace”).

Martin is submitting the debut episode, “The Man Who Would Be Vogue,” which aired January 17 on FX. Official description: “The murder of Gianni Versace turns the eyes of the world onto Miami Beach.” Among those mourning is Antonio D’Amico (Martin). This is his first career nomination. Watch our recent video chat with Martin.

Ramirez is submitting the seventh episode, “Ascent,” which aired March 7 on FX. Official description: “Andrew Cunanan leaves behind a troubled family life, while Donatella struggles to find her role within the Gianni Versace (Ramirez) empire.” This is his second career nomination following one for “Carlos” (2011).

Wittrock is submitting the fifth episode, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” which aired February 14 on FX. Official description: “Naval officer Jeffrey Trail (Wittrock) meets Andrew Cunanan for the first time, while Gianni reveals his sexuality to the world.” This is his second career nomination following one for “American Horror Story” (2015).

2018 Emmy Winner Predictions: Drama, Comedy, Limited Series/TV Movie Acting Categories

Lead Actress in a Limited Series/TV Movie should be a race between Laura Dern (The Tale), who finally won here in supporting last year for Big Little Lies (which will compete in the Drama categories next year), and two-time winner Regina King in Seven Seconds. Many people didn’t even have her getting a nomination but the voters love her now and she is definitely competing for the win. Jessica Biel is also a contender for The Sinner, having finally earned the actress credit she had been looking for in her career. Multi-nominee Michelle Dockery moved out of Downton Abbey and into the wild west for Godless and could be a spoiler here. Lead Actor is tough because Darren Criss should be the frontrunner here for The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story but will voters think he’s too young? He’s going up against some tough competition in previous winners Jeff Daniels (The Looming Tower) and Benedict Cumberbatch (Patrick Melrose) that voters may simply name-check but Criss has the stronger project and that should tip him over.

LEAD ACTOR IN A LIMITED SERIES OR A MOVIE

1. Darren Criss, “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story”
2. Benedict Cumberbatch, “Patrick Melrose”
3. John Legend, “Jesus Christ Superstar: Live in Concert”
4. Jeff Daniels, “The Looming Tower”
5. Jesse Plemons, “USS Callister: Black Mirror”
6. Antonio Banderas, “Genius: Picasso”

A weird category if there ever was one. Largely Emmy newcomers up against two previous winners: Jeff Daniels and John Leguizamo. I’m predicting a bit of a surprise win for Brandon Victor Dixon who was the critical standout of Jesus Christ Superstar: Live in Concert. While I don’t think the three men from The Assassination Of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story will “cancel each other out,” I’m not sure if any are strong enough to win in their own right.

On the other side, Judith Light (The Assassination Of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story) should be able to win over her co-star Penélope Cruz. While the leads for Limited Series aren’t required to submit an episode, the supporting nominees are and Light has the gold to win. I think she might face some competition from previous Emmy winner Merritt Wever (Godless) and first-time Letitia Wright (Black Mirror) but I feel very good about Light winning.

SUPPORTING ACTOR IN A LIMITED SERIES OR MOVIE

Emmys: Acting Categories Show Diversity, if Not Parity

Even in the middle of Hollywood’s big diversity push, it was still startling to see a significant amount of it across all acting categories this year. There are 36 non-white acting nominees this year — a solid 20% jump from last year, when there were 30.

Drill down deeper and it becomes clear that this year’s more inclusive slate is thanks to the supporting and guest categories in particular. Just take a look at limited series, where FX’s “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” earned noms for Penelope Cruz, Edgar Ramirez and Ricky Martin. Or comedy, where “Atlanta” co-stars Brian Tyree Henry and Zazie Beetz landed their first supporting nods, as did “Saturday Night Live” Kenan Thompson — an astonishing 15 years after he first became a cast member.

Watch Scenes From ‘The Assassination of Gianni Versace’ Emmy Nominee Ricky Martin’s Acting Career

Ricky Martin is nominated for an Emmy Award for his supporting role as Gianni Versace’ longtime partner Antonio D’Amico in American Crime Story’s The Assassination of Gianni Versace. With a worn-down frown, dispirited eyes and an Italian lilt, the Latin pop star transforms himself into the suffering D’Amico to such an extent that viewers may have to look for the cleft in his chin to be sure it is him.

In recent interviews, Martin has said that when acting the part, he unearthed feelings from “the most uncomfortable and saddest part of my life.” That was before he came out in 2010, when his image as the ever-smiling and sassy Latin lover whose bilingual pop songs and “bon bon” shaking dance moves detonated the “Latin pop explosion.” He has said that being “locked in the closet” was his longest-playing real-life acting role.

A Latin superstar today, Martin became a regular onstage performer at age 12, when he joined the Puerto rican pre-teen hysteria machine Menudo. After graduating from the boy band, he started a solo career that would make him a global pop sensation. And over the years, he acted in movies, TV and on Broadway, before hitting the top of his game – so far – as an actor in The Assassination of Gianni Versace.
