Lucasfilm is seeking an Emmy nomination for former Mandalorian star Gina Carano, despite publicly firing her earlier this year.
Lucasfilm still wants an Emmy nomination for Gina Carano.
Although she was fired from the Disney + series earlier this year, Lucasfilm and Disney are promoting Carano for Best Supporting Actress for her role in The mandalorian Season 2 of his Emmy Awards campaign. A “For Your Consideration” poster released by Lucasfilm lists all the actors who played a significant role in The mandalorianthe second season, which includes Carano for her breakout role as Cara Dune.
Also included in Lucasfilm’s FYC campaign are Pedro Pascal for Best Leading Actor and Giancarlo Esposito and Temuera Morrison for Best Supporting Actor. As of this writing, Carano has not commented on her promotion to Best Supporting Actress. The mandalorian it garnered a total of 15 Emmy nominations and 7 wins after the release of its first season, including a nomination for Outstanding Dramatic Series. Nominations for 2021 will be announced on July 13.
Carano’s Cara Dune was a fan favorite and was slated to star in her own spinoff series prior to her firing from The mandalorian due to various controversial posts on social media. These posts suggested voter fraud during the 2020 presidential elections, discouraged the wearing of masks during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and compared attitudes towards conservatives to the struggle of Holocaust victims. Carano, who later stated that she had been “bullied” by Disney and Lucasfilm, claims that many of these tweets were taken out of context, although they did make #FireGinaCarano a trend on social media. The hashtag inevitably worked, and after refusing to use a Lucasfilm-written apology, Carano discovered that she had been officially fired via social media.
Shortly after her firing, Lucasfilm issued a statement saying: “Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future. However, her posts on social media that denigrate people because of their cultural and religious identities they are abhorrent. ” and unacceptable “.
Created by Jon Favreau, The mandalorian stars Pedro Pascal, Gina Carano, Carl Weathers, and Giancarlo Esposito. Seasons 1 and 2 are now streaming on Disney +.
