Matthew Macfadyen's Final Tom-Greg Moment Is the Perfect Succession Sendoff at Emmys
Now this is a ludicrously capacious win.
Matthew Macfadyen won the Emmy award for Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Drama Series for his role in the fourth and final season of Succession. The 49-year-old, who plays Tom Wambsgans in the drama, beat out costars Nicholas Braun, Alan Ruck and Alexander Skarsgård, as well as The White Lotus' Wille Sharpe, F. Murray Abraham and Theo James, for the honor during the Jan. 15 ceremony. (Check out the full list of 2023 Emmy winners here.)
But Matthew, who took home his second Emmy, made sure to shoutout his partner-in-crime on the series, Nicholas, who plays his mentee Cousin Greg. After all, you can't make a Tomlette without cracking a couple of Gregs.
"I must make special mention to my onscreen wife Sarah Snook," he said during his acceptance speech. "And my other screen wife, Nicholas Braun. Acting with you has been one of those wonderful things in my career."
"Thank you Nick," he continued. "Thank you Sarah, it's been a joy."
And while it's Matthew who walked away with the trophy in hand, HBO came out as the true winner in the category. After all, all eight nominees were split even between the network's hit shows Succession and The White Lotus. In fact, Succession entered into the ceremony the most nominated show with a whopping 27—including Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Lead Actor and Outstanding Lead Actress.
And when Matthew won the same award last year, Nicholas couldn't help but praise his fellow Disgusting Brother.
"He deserved it completely," he raved exclusively to E! News. "Just one of my favorite actors I've gotten to work with and just in the world. He's an amazing guy to learn from and we have something really special."
