Did Chad Lowe deserve his Emmy?


I always thought he did — and I thought he totally became the Jesse McKenna character. But I found some old message boards that argued he only got it b/c he was being rewarded for taking on the role. But his performance was lackluster. There were other people playing AIDS victims in the 90s, so if the Emmy voters just wanted to reward the act of doing so, they didn't have to pick Chad Lowe. Thoughts?

I thought he did a fantastic job as Jesse

I thought his portrayal was so boring. He also acted very feminine, and having AIDS, made me think he was gay or at least bi.
