'The Americans' Season 3: Keri Russell, Margo Martindale Drama Nominated At 2015 Emmy Awards!

The Season 3 finale of The Americans has been gaining much critical praise for FX. With Season 4, starring Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys, underway, undercover spy already being planned, Margo Martindale has earned a nomination at the 2015 Emmy Awards.

In our finale recap, Philip had to kill and frame one of Martha's co-workers to make the FBI look away from her. After getting the fake defector arrested, Stan Beeman (Noah Emmerich) was given the go-ahead to continue his investigation against Oleg (Costa Ronin), but he is nowhere closer to saving Nina (Annet Mahendru). Elizabeth had a chance to say goodbye to her dying mother.

Before the end credits, Philip was unable to tell his wife that he wanted to leave the spy business. Elizabeth was filled with hatred as President Reagan declared the Soviet Union an "evil empire." Confused and desperate for someone's help, the teary-eyed Paige called Pastor Tim and confessed her parents aren't Americans; they're Russians.

According to Deadline, Martindale has been nominated for Outstanding Guest Actress In A Drama Series. The Justified actress is up against Rachel Brosnahan (House of Cards), Diana Rigg (Game of Thrones), Cicely Tyson (How To get Away With Murder), Allison Janney (Masters of Sex), and Khandi Alexander (Scandal).

Martindale will reprise her role as Claudia in the upcoming season 4 of The Americans.
