Fan are furious that the ‘This Is Us’ stars’ emotional scenes were overlooked for Emmy nods.
The snubs for Hartley and Moore were the most shocking. Moore, who plays matriarch Rebecca Pearson in the show, started the season off with a powerful scene in which she broke down in front of the burnt-out remains of the Pearson home after it caught fire. Moore, who had not seen the blackened set before the first take, screamed in hysterics at the end of the scene. Later in the season, Moore nailed another scene in which she found out her husband Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) had died after complications from the fire.
For Hartley, his best Emmy shot came in the showcase episode “Number One.” Hartley had several key scenes in the episodes, including a monologue in his character Kevin’s high school football field and a later scene in which he broke down in front of his one-night stand’s house after he realized he lost the necklace his father had given him.

While they were overlooked by the Television Academy, both Justin Hartley and Mandy Moore took to Twitter to congratulate their co-stars on their Emmy nods. Hartley tweeted, “A huge congrats to @MiloVentimiglia @SterlingKBrown and my entire @NBCThisisUs family on the @TheEmmys noms!!!! Lots of talent, hard work, and heart is poured into this incredible show. Couldn’t be prouder to be part of it!!”
And Moore wrote, “Congrats to our remarkable #ThisIsUs family, cast and crew on 8 #emmy nominations including drama series! @MiloVentimiglia and @SterlingKBrown plus #roncephasjones and #GeraldMcRaney (plus costumes makeup and music). So much gratitude for the recognition!!”

I mean, I come from the “just give Sterling K. Brown every award you possibly can always” camp, but Justin Hartley and Mandy Moore each gave performances this season of #ThisIsUs that shook me to the core. I’m shocked they weren’t nominated. #Emmys
