'Mr. Robot' Season 2: Christian Slater, Rami Malek Get Golden Globes 2016 Nods!
Before Mr. Robot Season 2 returns, the popular USA Network is bringing the first season onto DVD and Blu-Ray. Continuing to gain critical acclaim, Christian Slater (Mr. Robot) and Rami Malek (Elliot Alderson) has earned nominations from the 2016 Golden Globes.
During our first season recap, Elliot (Malek) finds himself in hacker territory against Evil Corp with "fsociety." With a mysterious man linked to his past, Elliot finds himself siding with viglante Mr. Robot (Christian Slater). As Evil Corp sinks its seductive claws on Elliot's best friend, Angela (Portia Doubleday), Fsociety has found a way of hurting E Corp but in order to put their plans into motion, Elliot has to become more than just a cyber-vigilante.
Struggling with his own paranoia and delusions, Elliot wants to know what the connection is between him, Mr. Robot, and Darlene (Carly Chaikin). But will the truth bring about the digital revolution that FSociety has been waiting for?
According to TV Line, the 73rd annual Golden Globe Awards has released their nomination list. With the show nominated for Drama Series, the two main leads have also garnered their nods as well. Malek is a nominee for Best Performance by an Actor In a Television Series - Drama, competing against Jon Hamm (Mad Men), Wagner Moura, (Narcos), and Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul), and Liev Schreiber (Ray Donovan). Slater gained Supporting Actor in a series, TV-Movie, or miniseries, putting him in league with Alan Cumming (The Good Wife), Damian Lewis (Wolf Hall), Ben Mendelsohn (Bloodline), and Tobias Menzies (Outlander).
As we previously mentioned, these nominations are announced just when the USA hacker drama took home the award for Breakthrough Series - Longform at the recent Gotham Awards ceremony. The show has also been nominated from the Writers Guild of America and Malek earned his fist-time nomination from the Screen Actors Guild.
