Why did Leonard Nimoy NOT win an Emmy? Well, there’s the stigma that science fiction bore in the 1960’s, of course, but there’s more (and more interesting) going on than that.
I think what Mr. Nimoy did as Spock is fairly subtle, and some of the Emmy voters may not have been able to pick up on it. There’s considerable evidence that women are more adept than men at interpreting facial expressions in general and subtle facial expressions in particular, which may partly explain why Spock’s popularity was especially high among female fans.
Good stuff – like the one outside. Best wishes to you, and get well soon and as painlessly as possible! Love you to from us all.
Thanks, ‘Man’! 🙂

And I could watch his expressions all day! 😉
