I don't think TPTB could give a ratts about him winning an Emmy, and would be more gratified if the whole ensemble won as Best TV Drama, and Billy has never been in for the awards, he actually doesn't like to go to the award shows, and is happy back in Chicago doing his play. If he won, [and he was outstanding in this ep.] it would be because he's an extrodinary, fantastic actor, magical so to speak, no one like him. His fans would be over the moon if that happened, but we love him no matter what
