As much as this Mr. Robot confuses me, I must say that Elliot is great as a character. I gave up on watching the show because its so damn weird, but he deserved to be honored for his performance. I would have voted for Matthew Rhys from the Americans. His performance last year was excellent.

I don't watch the show so its not fair for me to say she did or didn't deserve it. I will say that of the shows I watch, nobody deserved the honor more than Keri Russel for her performance on the Americans. NOBODY.

No clue about this show at all. Would have loved to see Jon Voight win. Mickey was absolutely excellent last year. Hell he's even better this season.
