'Better Call Saul' actor Bob Odenkirk always wants to get Emmy nods
While having a chat with Entertainment Tonight in June 2023, Odenkirk stated that he would love to have Emmy nominations in his kitty.
The 'Better Call Saul' actor told the media outlet, “Oh my God, listen, a nomination would be everything…We were so well received by critics and the audience. We were so thankful after Breaking Bad to get the good vibes from everyone and to follow through to the end.”
He added, “I mean, I’m so proud of that show. I always will be…It would mean so much. I’m crossing my fingers and hoping.”
Did 'Better Call Saul' win any award at Emmys 2024?
Sadly, the answer to the above question is no.
'Better Call Saul', which is a highly-acclaimed spin-off show of 'Breaking Bad' has failed to take an Emmy home.
Over the last couple of years, the show has bagged a total of 53 nods but it still hasn't won a single Emmy till now.
This year, 'Better Call Saul' was up for 7 awards including Outstanding Drama Series, Lead Actor for Bob Odenkirk as Saul Goodman, and Supporting Actress for Rhea Seehorn as Kim Wexler.
The show is still 0 for 53 in Emmy nominations.
