"Always Bet On Yourself": People Are Super Inspired By These "The Pitt" Actors Who Scored Emmy Noms By Submitting Themselves

Posted 5 minutes ago

Honestly, sometimes it is just better to handle your own business.

And two stars of The Pitt did just that. The reward? They both landed Emmy nominations.

Brittany Allen earned an Emmy for her role as Roxie Hamler, a terminally ill cancer patient in Season 2. After HBO chose not to submit her performance, she took matters into her own hands and submitted herself for Emmy consideration.

In addition, Jeff Kober, who played Duke Ekins, Dr. Robbie's motorcycle mechanic in desperate need of treatment for his heart, did the same and he also scored an Emmy nod by self-submitting.

People on social media are praising Brittany and Jeff's bold moves that resulted in big rewards. Here's what they're saying about Brittany:

"If she wins, her acceptance speech better start with 'I’d like to thank absolutely nobody at HBO.'"

"She played THE FUCK outta that role. When i said I cried like a mf 😭"

"I hope she wins (she was amazing) but also because I’m petty and screw HBO for not submitting her."

"😭😭 she said: oh it’s ok i got it don’t worry about it"

"ALWAYS BET ON YOURSELF EVEN IF NOBODY ELSE CAN SEE THE VISION!! LETS FCKN GOOOO"

"Gotta respect a self funded Queen ♥️"

"Wait, you can do that? Baller move."

And get this, when the HBO Max Twitter account congratulated Brittany for her nomination...

... people swarmed their mentions telling them to stand down:

"You didn’t even submit her you fools"

"y’all better pay my girl her submission fee and her glam team or I swear to god"

Oop. And here's how people are reacting to Jeff's self-submission:

"Jeff Kober! Yeah! Great actor."

"I'm gonna be real with you, I don't watch The Pitt. But this man has terrified me in so many roles over the years that I'm happy for him, lol."

"Brittany Allen and Jeff Kober put in that work themselves and got those Emmy nods. That underdog energy paid off big time."

The Pitt leads the competition with 25 Emmy nominations in the Drama category. These nods include Outstanding Drama Series, Noah Wyle for Lead Actor, and three nominations in the Supporting Actor category (Shawn Hatosy, Patrick Ball, and Gerran Howell).

The series also earned four nominations in the Supporting Actress category: Taylor Dearden, Fiona Dourif, Katherine LaNasa, and Sepideh Moafi.
