Taika Waititi took to Twitter yesterday to celebrate the Emmy nomination for Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance for his portrayal of IG-11 in The Mandalorian, one of 15 nominations for the premier season of the Disney+ series.
The entire planet is buzzing about me being nominated for my robotic acting. Guys, there are other nominees outside of the coveted Voice-over Character category. Ugh, it can’t be all about me ALL OF THE TIME! https://t.co/wo9om8Bd2j

Some people’s acting skillz are so powerful that they don’t even need to use their face! #Emmys2020 https://t.co/OjT7Fb0RZ4

What We Do in the Shadows, the show based on the film directed by Waititi, received an Emmy nomination for Best Comedy Series. This is what he said about that….
The idea that never dies. Congrats to everyone who decided to drag this joke-turned-movie into the world of television. Especially to @AJemaineClement who I tricked into doing it in the first place. Suckaaaa! https://t.co/jvVRGD2ULH
