If she doesn't win the Emmy for Best Lead Actress we should all riot.

i agree

[@Awardshq]

She's not gonna win.

[@jamesmarie]

She is This is Us.

[@rainman42]

For real...like I never knew how good she was until this is us ESPECIALLY when Jack died in hospital and her being old ...she does such a great job of pretending to be older than the actors that play her children.....oh,we will riot indeed....

[@NiGiff]

Isn't it weird how, like, Mandy Moore has already had a very long career but she's still under 40, but on This Is Us she plays an old woman? It's so strange seeing her actually be her age.

[@adrianaavila8853]

She’s so versatile

[@anjaliabigail]

It truly is. I was just watching her performance in Fallon and realized she's not 90 years old 😂. She's still young. This is Us has been influencing us. But wow is she good at her job.

[@CMHMom23]

Yeah she’s like 90s Rebecca here

[@jayenvanz]

Yeah, her adult "children" on the show are actually older than her 🤯

[@junbh2]

Yeah, it seems weird that she isn't my mom's age. Similarly I keep being slightly started to see that Jack is walking around alive on set and has totally met his adult kids.

[@johntirado-glover3574]

Mandy Moore has been on 🔥 with her performance. She, this season has taken it to another level. Definitely worthy of winning the Emmy for Best Actress in Drama Series.

[@azuber2]

Agree I second. She deserves an Emmy for her performance

[@kassiemontedoro4637]

She absolutely deserves an Emmy for her performance. Prior to this show I always thought she was a decent actress and liked her movies, but I always thought she was very 1 dimensional. Seeing her in this show, she is a true artist.

[@asrano88]

Not too sure if she will win...but she is definitely worth the nomination this year. Season 6 episode 7. The episode that is gonna get her nominated.

I just discovered This Is Us. I’m binging….watching about 10 episodes at a single sitting. I’m addicted to it !!!! Mandy Moore is excellent and I’ve been loving her since her first music video “Candy”…….she has only gotten better with age. I think I can pretty safely say that Milo Ventimiglio has ruined it for ALL men and specifically, for all fathers lol. He’s just sooo damned PERFECT at being the BEST husband and father of all time !!!! And he provides non-stop eye-candy moments throughout the series. It’s him…..yes I admit it…..I’m addicted to Jack/Milo ❤

Its not wierd at all. I lost my best friend right around the time i started watching this show. And this show actually helped me accept and process my grief without just spiralling down the dark path. This show is THAT good.

[@jasonmcmillan6598]

it is not weird at all. You had a huge emotional event occur. This was real! "This is us" is a special story where there is real characters experiencing emotional events that we as humans experience. Seening the story on the show and it touching your heart.

[@Talesvilla]

Just watched the recent episode and man , this actress is portraying Alzheimer’s so good. That scene of her with Kevin holding her hands , Randall combing her hair was so sweet but at the same time so heartbreaking. She is definitely the winner of Emmy this year but if not then I”ll conclude that Emmy are also biased as our Indian Filmfare awards !

[@TristaCoop]

Watched my grandmother slowly fade from dementia, and I agree, Mandy Moore has done a heartbreakingly good job.

[@EvelynRobinson22]

The Television Academy has over 23,000 members broken down into “peer groups” most of which don’t even watch half the shows that are nominated until right before voting. Unfortunately this leads to actresses/actors being judged on whatever ep is submitted rather than a full season of work. It’s definitely a flawed system. If it were viewer voted, the results would be fairer for the nominees and satisfy fans. I stopped caring about the Emmys when they stopped nominating The Tonight Show, awarded the ‘best variety show’ to any late night host that was retiring/leaving that year and kept nominating Corden 😬

[@peppa_pig_]

She deserves a million Emmy's for her portrayal of Rebecca through the ages. I really think she's one of the most talented actresses of this generation. Her acting is so believable, you feel like the character is real.

[@shanekathompson6556]

I’m not even a super emotional but This Is Us gets me everytime. Every single time. It is so beautifully cast, written, directed, produced, and more. I really hate to see it go.

[@cellatautu5266]

At the beginning, I didn’t really think she was perfect for the role. BOY WAS I WRONG! Amazing woman, amazing performance, so impressed! Well done, can’t wait to see what she will do next :)

The whole cast is so amazing. This show kills me, I literally tear up just watching these interviews. The writing, the performances, it all just is so well done & has made so many people feel really truly connected to the story & characters. It's amazing to see how Mandy & Milo have both grown in their careers having grown up watching them grow up. I loved Mandy & Milo back in the 90's/00's so it feels nostalgic seeing them both come together in such a beautiful show!

[@AGLadyBird]

I recently watched the end of This Is Us and still can't get over it. What a wonderful show and she really surprised me because I didn't think of her as such a great actress until I saw this show but she is amazing and I'm sorry she didn't get her Emmy. I know, there are so many excellent actresses and performances that it becomes very difficult for all of them to get what they deserve. But well, I hope she at least gets all the love she deserves for the great job she did on the series, definitely something special ❤️

[@Hersh1208]

This show gave me raw emotions. I cried like a little baby saying to my wife, "I'm not watching this anymore". And the next day we watch another 5 episodes. We are binging. Currently in Season 3.

Such a great great show, every other episode I’m in tears (in a good moving way most times) Mandy Moore is AMAZING as Bec… I love her and Milo as Jack and Rebecca, like losing Jack was enough and now Bec has dementia it’s just too much. I’m on season 6 and I find myself not watching them as fast cause I know the end is coming. Wow I need to find a Jack and be a Jack and Rebecca some day. Love the Pearson kids, it’s just a well written show.

I first saw Mandy Moore when she played in A Walk To Remember and I always rewatched that movie because she did such a great job! And the other actors too! Her song that she sung during the play was so good! I would always sing and remember, “And I pray to be only yours I pray to be only yours. I know now you’re my only hope.” 🥺 And that’s a verse I remember from a movie so that shows how captivating she does in her roles! Her voice was so nice and now in This Is Us the fact that she’s singing and playing such a good role is everything! Mandy Moore is such a great actress and you can tell that she loves her job!
