The nominations for the 2025 Emmys have sparked a wave of reactions following the notable absence of Elisabeth Moss, recognized for her role in ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’. O-T Fagbenle, who played Luke in the series, was visibly upset and described this lack of recognition as an absolute tragedy. In conversation with Variety, Fagbenle emphasized that Moss’s performance in her role as June is exceptional and deserves to be recognized.

A tragedy, especially for her

Despite the fact that ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ has been a benchmark in the field of dramatic series since its premiere, the last season has been practically ignored by academics this year. Of all the categories, only Cherry Jones has received a nomination for Best Guest Star for her appearance in the series, highlighting the neglect that the production has fallen into in this edition.

Moss, who has been nominated four times in the Best Lead Actress category, has only won the award once, in 2017. The actress’s career is remarkable; however, recognition this time has eluded one of the most prominent figures of the series. The group of nominees for Best Lead Actress includes Kathy Bates for ‘Matlock’, Sharon Horgan for ‘Sisters to Death’, Britt Lower for ‘Severance’, Bella Ramsey for ‘The Last of Us’, and Keri Russell for ‘The Diplomat’, which highlights the strangeness of Moss’s absence from the list.

Nominations for the major awards are always surrounded by controversy and surprises, and this year is no exception. Lack of recognition for ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ and its talented cast has sparked a debate among critics and fans, who hope that the visibility that the series, as well as its protagonist, deserve will be restored.

After almost three years of waiting, The Handmaid’s Tale returns with the airing of its sixth and final season, available on Max. The return of the series marks a significant moment for both fans of the dystopia and its protagonist, Elisabeth Moss, who has portrayed June for nearly a decade. In recent statements, Moss expressed her difficulty in saying goodbye to a character that has occupied an important part of her professional life. There have been few moments in my life over the last 9 years when I haven’t been working on this series, she commented during the presentation of the new season in Los Angeles.

Goodbye to The Handmaid’s Tale, but its universe will continue

The series, which since its inception has resonated with a strong social impact, has been used as a symbol of resistance and protest in various situations. This legacy is something that Moss feels very proud of. It is undeniable that since its beginnings it has been relevant in the social discourse, transcending the screen, the actress stated, which underscores the deep connection between the series and contemporary movements for social justice.

As June’s story comes to an end, there is a possibility that Moss will appear in a future spin-off titled The Testaments, although there is no confirmation about it yet. While her role in the novel that inspires this spin-off is minor, it has been speculated that she could have a special appearance, which would keep the actress’s connection to the series that catapulted her to fame alive.

With the arrival of this new batch of episodes, fans are preparing for an emotional farewell, not only for the character of June but also for a story that has left an indelible mark on the world of television and popular culture.
