9) Jon Bernthal – Daredevil (Season 2)
Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series
The Emmys seem to be going through a phase of stunted superhero acknowledgement, refusing to acknowledge Daredevil even in cinematography. The second season of Daredevil actually has four great performances: Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock, Scott Glenn as Stick and Elodie Yung as Elektra, and, of course, Jon Bernthal as the Punisher. Bernthal is intimidating as all hell, but it’s the weakness he reveals beneath his cold-hearted veneer that make his portrayal of the tortured anti-hero an instant classic and a truly under-recognized performance.
