8) Keith Gordon – Fargo (Episode, “Loplop”)
Outstanding Directing for a Miniseries, Movie or a Dramatic Special
I’m going to make on thing clear, every episode of Fargo is deserving of a Best Director nod. That being said, no episode deserves the accolade more than Loplop. The deceptively simple kidnapping plot at the episode’s centre is an anomaly, a study of gender politics, institutional misogyny, racism and criminal redemption. The episode itself is an amalgam of every little detail that made Fargo’s second season a masterpiece.
