Sarah Snook was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for her performance in All Her Fault. She plays Marissa Irvine, a mother whose attempt to collect her son from a playdate turns into a terrifying search when he is missing.
All Her Fault is a Peacock domestic thriller based on Andrea Bartz’s novel. The series builds its mystery around parental fear, unreliable information and the pressure placed on a family after a child disappears. Snook’s nomination recognizes the central performance that carries the story through its escalating twists.
The category’s full modern name includes “Limited or Anthology Series or Movie,” although quiz questions often shorten it to “Limited Series or Movie.” That wording does not indicate a different award. Another common mix-up is confusing Snook’s role here with Shiv Roy in Succession, the part that earned her the 2023 Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. The 2026 nomination is for All Her Fault, not Succession.
