Lee Jung-Jae of Squid Game become the first Korean actor to win Emmy for the best male lead
Lee Jung-Jae played the lead role of Seong Gi-hun in the hit Netflix show Squid Game, which premiered in September 2021. This was the first non-English pop culture show that set fire on screen with its fantastic script and amazing visuals. Unsurprisingly, it was clear that the series would be receiving the best direction award as it did.
Moreover, Lee receiving the award for the best lead role was shocking news for many people. He beat many famous faces, including Bob Odenkirk, Jason Bateman, Jeremy Strong, Adam Scott, and Brian Cox.
Although fans focused more on Odenkirk, who portrayed Saul Goodman in Better Call Saul, fans complained that Bob had been robbed of his Emmy as he was a better contender for this award. Meanwhile, the more significant reason for this reaction can be that Bob Odenkirk has been nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor five times in the past but never won it.
Netizens are not happy that Bob Odenkirk did not win at Emmy Awards
Fans are reacting after Bob Odenkirk faced defeat at the 74th Emmy Awards 2022. They are taking his side, saying that he was a better choice.
