Yes. Give her the Emmy. Absolutely. Hands down, her acting is best I have ever witnessed across the board. I'm in awe of her.

[@gabelogan5877]

She won't get it. The television academy are idiots. they won't reward her because her acting is too subtle and they don't like to give out awards for motherly roles

[@jokerproduction]

Lol she couldn't act her way out of a paper bag. Why is it that women are the WORST judges of acting? I seriously don't get it.

[@Aname87]

Yessssss!

[@imajenn2]

I find that every time someone speaks to Mandy, or asks a question - She is INVESTED in that exchange. She looks and reacts as though she appreciates the time someone has spent. She is special

[@Jess_Bishop]

She’s so special

[@mondler107]

Right! She is so invested in what the interviewers have to say 😍

[@katayasymphony8863]

eexaccctllyyy i have been looking for words how to describe it cause megan fox is so cold and the exacz opposite its so wierd

[@wstewartwi]

Loved her in A Walk To Remember and she blew this out of the water.

[@ashleyr5482]

So talented, she played Rebecca beautifully!!! She deserves an Emmy

[@janataylor6869]

Yesss. She's extremely good in that role, especially as old Rebecca

[@yuyu2007]

I thought she deserved an Emmy from season 1. I truly hope she gets some recognition for this role. She has been phenomenal. Also have to say, Mandy Moore has always struck me as so sincere, smart, and well-spoken. I look forward to her future projects.

[@tammyboon6259]

ME TOO!!!!!!

[@holly_wood26]

It's so true! How on earth does she not have an Emmy award?

[@dsscam]

It's true that she deserves an Emmy. Her acting at all the different stages of Rebecca's life is so natural. She was amazing- and she dies next week. She also was the best Disney princess of all time

[@HorsdSF]

Thanks for the spoiler alert - brilliant.

Mandy is the best, I’m crying thinking there’s only 3 episodes left. I loved loved This Is Us soooooo much. It’s gonna be a classic❤️

[@tammyboon6259]

I 100% AGREE, MANDY MOORE DESERVES THE EMMY THIS YEAR!!!!!!!! PLEASE...MY GOD, GIVE IT TO HER!!!!!!!! SHE DESERVES IT IN SPADES!!!!!!! ALL the ways in how she has played a woman, a wife, a mother mom married to Jack, giving birth to triples and losing one them and that grief and then adopting another baby dropped off at Fire Station, to a young widow, to being an older & middle aged mother and all the complexities and dimensions of all of it!!!!! AND also having and established a new loving marriage with Miguel and how it ALL CAME OFF BELIEVABLE!!!!!!!! SHE ALREADY HAS DESERVED IT BEFORE THIS YEAR!!!!! AND...ALSO WITH the 'ALZHEIMER'S STORY' how she played it!!!! I agree the subtleties and nuances she did, through ALL of it has been AMAZING!!!!!! It's hard to put it, into words. Sterling said it the best, "IT'S EXQUISITE, MAN." (This was the last season, woven together so beautifully and was so poignant!!!!).

[@jenniferreynolds1537]

All of the actors in this show are sooo amazing! I am going to be so sad watching the last episode. One of the best shows I have ever watched!

[@h.c4898]

She seems like a sweet girl in real life.

[@deannacarpenter6283]

Was bawling my eyes out last week over the Miguel episode!!!

[@manantial773]

Give her the Emmy!!!

[@leonskywalker4829]

Still can't believe its coming to an end. It makes me so sad

[@gloriakrueger6774]

YESSSSSSS!! Emmy for Mandy!!! She's definitely earned it!!!!

[@bluedancelilly]

Give her an Emmy!!

Give her three.

[@Esheeka_]

She casually exposes her age without any inhibition. Love her!

I had the honor of meeting Mandy. she I so gracious n lovely , beyond beautiful. I also told her I had cd n use to dance to candy after school.

23 years and still a phenomenal singer!

[@iluvjohnny08]

Yes! She always and still has the voice of an angel

[@mercuryfever392]

It's funny now because she said she didn't know how she was going to fill her time. And less than a week ago, she announced she's having another baby. So she knew she was pregnant already in this interview.

[@bobthecone]

The world is better with Mandy.

[@seankim884]

I Cried About Watching This Is Us On NBC.

[@palakgogia3797]

I saw them all for the last time today. These people (though playing the character) make parenthood, family life, romance so real. They all are just the best. And yes, Mandy and Sterling are unreal actors. They make emotions so easy.!!❣️

[@michellealloco1015]

Excellent actor Excellent 👏

[@equilibrio20042002]

I kept saying how Randall is a great character and how much depth Sterling has as an the actor; and someone pointed out that one actress plays Rebecca and you totally forget it when you see it. She is amazing and totally deserves awards and more amazing roles.

[@sophiaelliott8033]

Mandy Moore truly is a living legend! Feeling lucky to witness her work! ❤️

[@jest7313]

I Love you. You are the best and i wish i can see you in another Role.

Mandy Moore! 🥰🥰🥰

[@deesingh3105]

How has Mandy Moore not won an Emmy or Golden Globe for her performance in This is Us? Hollywood is so ridiculous

[@Daisybabee1]

Awww 🥹

[@sharptoothtrex4486]

I love Mandy Moore and her music. Her movie A Walk to Remember made me cry and sad showing why I have feelings for her. This movie explains why I lost three of my past girlfriends. First it is Theresa North from Whitby Ontario Canada in 1995. Next is is Claudia Sierra from Ajax Ontario died in 2010 over a brain tumor. Finally, it is Diane Jean Sackville from Whitby Ontario Swiss Chalet died in 2017 due to some unknown cancer.

[@garywilliams3419]

Mandy is just amazing. This is Us was amazing. How she played all those same but different roles, all in one... How the fk does an actress do that? The closest I have seen to this is in Orphan Black, which was actually better, as it was a much tougher role. Never followed Mandys music career. but I saw her many years ago in 'A Walk to Remember' and was smacked upside my head by that. Wow! I must have watched that a dozen times at least. Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook) movie, but based loosely on his own sister. Wonderful, but sad story. Catch it if you can. There is also another movie I loved with Mandy in, where she plays the presidents daughter, the name of which eludes me. Whatever, I will always watch anything she is in, as you KNOW it will be well acted. Patient to wait now that she is a new mum, glad she gets to experience sleeplessness rather than Alzheimer's. I hope TiU doesn't end on that note.Invested a lot of emotion and tissues into that series to see it end on another sad ending.

[@saifeliya]

Yeah Tatiana Maslany was amazing in Orphan black

[@mondler107]

Oh my goodness I love her so much. She needs that Emmy!!!!!!!!!

[@IaneHowe]

And I wish the show would never end 😢 but Milo deserves one too

[@randie5436]

The song - In Real Life is so incredible. I’ve been binge playing it.

Is Koda the ultimate suburban house wife or what. That super cheesy smile should be in the wax museum.

[@PM2024-]

Mandy played Sterling’s mom??

[@calexprenas]

Ok I will start this out with saying I am eyebrow obsessed (mine are impossibly shapeless thick sparse blobs…), they’re the first things I notice on people, and I know nothing about this show and clicked here solely because of Mandy’s brows in the thumbnail. That said, I REALLY would love her to take some of the hair off at the front of her brows. She’s gorgeous no matter what but I just think her brows would suit her delicate features so much better with a bit more space between them lol. Yes I commented just to say this.

[@BSBgurl4ever]

Now that this is us is done though please do Rapunzel in the kingdom hearts series!! Couldn’t do KH3 cause she was busy with this is us. Now that the show is over I’m hoping she’ll have the time to do kingdom hearts series with Zachary Levi ❤️

[@adamsamad]

She's top tier talent compared to the artists in her era.... Britney, Christina, and Jessica Simpson.

[@bayuaprilian5285]

yess!

[@rashadhaughton22]

Great point!!

[@studyhardplayhard5086]

wait wut? are you honestly saying she dances better than Britney and can sing better than Christina? I'll give you Simpson, her Moore are about equal as far as talent. Jessica was far more beautiful tho.

[@adamsamad]

@@studyhardplayhard5086 I meant she withstood the test of time and is genuinely glowing. I think I meant her acting talent is much higher, and the fact that she sings, plays instruments and still performs. She seems less manufactured. Everyone else looks like they've been put through the cosmetic blender with injections and drugs as well.

For me, she has the same nose that she had when she was a teen, So I believe in her. She is an amazing actress, and your commentary about her, in this video about her amazing career e her incredible acting in this is us, is that she has a nose job? Seriously?
