Emmy nominations for 2026 are out, and Antony Starr, who just wrapped his final season as Homelander on The Boys, was snubbed yet again. It was the end of an era, as the final season was his last chance for getting recognition for his character, and fans voiced their frustration with a single consensus.
Critics and audiences consistently praise Antony Starr for layering Homelander with a volatility rarely seen on television. He shifts between childish insecurity and god-like menace within a single scene, transforming a cartoonish concept into disturbing reality. Fans insist this calibre of acting demands formal recognition, and the Academy’s indifference has turned the Emmy snub into a yearly ritual of frustration.
“The fact that Antony Starr has never received an Emmy nomination for playing Homelander in The Boys is one of the biggest awards snubs of the last decade. He didn’t just play a villain he made Homelander terrifying, charismatic, pathetic, and unpredictable all at once,” one The Boys fan shared on X.

Other posts underscored a sense of bitter irony. “Homelander getting snubbed every year is the most on-brand irony television has given us,” a fan remarked, drawing a parallel between the character’s narcissistic need for adoration and the people’s refusal to grant it.

The intensity continued to build. “INCREDIBLE snubbery at its worst. Unfathomable. Unbelievable. And frankly, f—— ridiculous,” One fan said. Another added, “Antony Starr is the reason people watch this show. Criminal snub.”

However, the Academy did not entirely overlook the series. The Boys got five technical nominations, including Outstanding Stunt Coordination for Drama Programming, Outstanding Fantasy/Sci-Fi Costumes, and Outstanding Sound Editing for a Comedy or Drama Series.
