As much as most of the stars bling at the onset of award ceremonies, some luster tends to decay, evoking moments of dissatisfaction. At the 29th Annual Critics’ Choice Awards as well, a story of such kind surged a row of discord in fans for the evening. Tom Holland’s nomination hitting a blank target for the Best Actor in a Limited Series or Movie Made for Television for his role in The Crowded Room and losing to Steven Yeun for Beef came as one of the unprecedented thorns for cinephiles worldwide.

The crime thriller wooed the audience with Holland’s outstanding depiction in a never-seen-before character skin. While the snub was a shocker for many, the consequent disruption came out as something inevitable. And even though titles do not mean the world, they, after all, do attest to the honor of mass recognition. But looking at the socials, it seems that despite his defeat, the honorary accolades have come the way from fans with several tokens of appreciation. Hence, it is safe to say that he has graced the winner’s chart in people’s hearts. 

Speaking to the paps at the gala event, Tom Holland previously expressed his enthusiasm for attending the ceremony as a nominee for The Crowded Room. He stressed how “the show has a really important message” while exchanging how it has been “awhile” since he had done “something like this”. By all indications from the audience, there is no doubt that the “message” has been heard loud and clear with the world vouching for the show’s frontrunner. 

As of now, what has been done cannot be undone, but the praise of honor can surely continue. Hence, fans across the globe have been crowding the socials with words of commendation for the actor.

Fans rally behind Tom Holland for his acting in The Crowded Room

It is one thing to secure a trophy, and it is another thing to conquer the audience without the winning title. Tom Holland has done the second and with visible strength. Hence, despite the setback for this year’s Critics’ Choice Awards, there has been no lack of acknowledgment of his genius. More so, it seems that the fans have taken the responsibility to hype the actor in the best ways.

Tom Holland’s performance in The Crowded Room was eccentric and carried a Spider-Man-like resemblance. The show became a hit for TV buffs all around. Hence, the grief of the defeat is not his alone because the world is a sharer in this sort.

Even if the ship has sunk low in the bestowing of honoraries, the audience is far from letting the performer take the blow. And by this time, even Holland knows that the best win is being on the brink of people’s reminder and not just the awards. Therefore, given the immense love and backup that the star is now receiving, there is an absolute surety that his performance has played the triumph card, if not the trump.
