One Twitter user wrote: “God knows how it all works and what it all really means but how the f*** did Daisy Edgar Jones not get nominated for an Emmy for Normal People?” Responding to his nomination on Tuesday, Mescal shared a still of his Normal People character crying, commenting: “My actual face right now!" Thanking director Lenny Abrahamson, who he would “forever be indebted to”, Mescal turned his attention to co-star Edgar-Jones with the words: “@daisyedgarjones this only exists because of you and extraordinary talent, end of.” The actor also gushed about Edgar-Jones in an interview with Vulture where he admitted that he was “totally” surprised she hadn’t earned her own nomination, saying: “The fact that I’m nominated is a testament to the work that she’s done. I know there are extraordinary actresses nominated in that category, but I think Daisy’s work is just phenomenal in this.” Normal People was a huge hit when it launched on 26 April, more than doubling BBC Three’s record for a viewing figures on iPlayer after it was requested 21.8 million times in its opening week.
