Claire Foy won an Emmy Award in 2021 for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for reprising her role as Queen Elizabeth on The Crown and she is eligible for the same award this year. Olivia Colman, who also reprised her role on the series, is not eligible in the category though. Why? Keep reading to find out more… It all has to do with an eligibility rule that the Television Academy recently made for the category. “The minimum stand-alone and contiguous screen time (performer has an ongoing engagement in the scene, on or off camera) for eligibility is 5% of the total running time of the submitted episode,” the rules state. Claire and Olivia appear in season six episode “Sleep, Dearie Sleep,” which has a 72-minute run-time. This means that they need to have at least three minutes and 36 seconds of screen time to be eligible. Olivia missed out by seconds, according to Variety. Check out every season of The Crown ranked from worst to best.
