Many have praised Snook’s performance in season 4, hoping she would advance to the Lead Actress category. Melanie Lynskey, who is also up for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her role as Shauna in Showtime’s Yellowjackets, praised the actress and her television brothers Kieran Culkin and Jeremy Strong for their strong performances.
Lynskey took to Instagram to share a photo of the Roy siblings in season 4, episode 3, titled “Connor’s Wedding.” Many viewers have cited the episode as “one of the greatest episodes in television history.” The Yellowjackets actress states, “All of them, every single one of them, are amazing. But SARAH SNOOK this episode… my lord. Sarah Snook for the last three seasons, too. She’s incredible.”
Congratulations to Sarah Snook on this well-deserved nomination. The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards will air on September 18.
