Quite a few from all sorts of critics, but this one was from Variety.

Re: Emmy Mention
Wow! That's a great blurb on him. It's an utter long shot, but wouldn't it be wonderful if he was at least nominated (and won!)?
I love his characters (movie and TV), but I find that his TV characters are exceptionally well-rounded (as was Lucius). I think it is due to the fact that he can stretch his wings over time of the season(s) and really explore them and make them mature better than he probably can with the movie ones (where he has a possible 2-3 hours, but -perhaps-in reality, only 30 or 40 minutes tops screentime). I use Lucius as the movie exception, because it was a recurring role and he was able to do an arc of growth for the character. I could see why he'd be intrigued by TV roles.
Thanks, Char!

If only....come on, Emmy, give Jason a consideration!
Re: Emmy Mention
It would be great if he was nominated. It would be even more awesome if he won. I worry though that since the show was cancelled that he won't get as serious of a consideration come Emmy time. I'd hate for that to be a deterrent because cancelled or not ... Awake was a great show.

P.S. I posted to the page under Char's comments. I hope many more are to follow from others. It shows mine as from Whitetigress73 which is my twitter account name.

Re: Emmy Mention
It's lovely to get recognized, especially by nonpartisan professional peers. If it helps his career, I'm all for it!

Totally. If only we had a voice for that. Jason'd win every time.

http://popwatch.ew.com/2012/05/25/awake ... qus_threadInstead of trying to find the show a new home, he’d love for fans to start an Emmy campaign for Isaacs (who did some amazing work in the final three episodes). “Honestly, if you want to take up a cause, that’s the one to run with,” he said in the live chat. “You probably can’t save the show, but you could certainly help him get his due.”

Re: Emmy Mention
Me, too. I think that there is a second one floating around on FB as well.
There seems to be a feud going on between the Save Awake page and another page- so I'm just hoping that they can rein it in before it becomes noticed by anyone by whom it should not be noticed. *sigh*
PS. If you're on twitter - there is also this one: https://twitter.com/#!/JasonIsaacsEmmy

Re: Emmy Mention
Another website to hopefully aid nominating Jason as one of the 6 nominees...

Re: Emmy Mention
He is at 5.3 right now. Not bad - could be better. Lots of talented competition but I think JI deserves a nom!
Re: Emmy Mention
He's at 5.12 now. Seems the cable network actors are way ahead. Sons of Anarchy, Mad Men, et al.?
