How is Jeremy Irons considered a lead actor in this?

It's the most obvious choice; he's the only actor with something to do in every episode (or closer to it than anyone else), and like tarlibone said, he's Jeremy fuckin' Irons. You could make a reasonable case to submit Abdul-Mateen, but he really doesn't have much to do for the front half of the series.

Emmy rules state that people can generally submit themselves (or others) for whatever, and they'll generally accept it. Assuming HBO campaigned for Irons to be considered the lead, I can't imagine they'd decide someone else is the male lead.

I feels like it's intended to be that, but even if you find allegory in Ozymandias' journey, it isn't like the Sea Captain in Black Freighter showed up in issue 12 of Watchmen to talk to the other characters.

Whoo cares? Why does it have to exactly match the same beats from the comic

Sorry, I wasn't clear - I don't care about that, I just think it reduces the emphasis of the allegorical element of Ozymandias' plot line. It reads more as temporally parallel than thematically parallel (which means that, to me, it felt a bit superfluous but for the last hour, as great as Irons performance is.) It's entirely possible I'm just too thick headed to see the parallels, though. Sorry if it's been covered a billion times. :shobon:

EDIT: also everyone knows the show's biggest flaw is insufficient blue manhattan cock
