Robert Morse AKA Bert Cooper

I was a little confused that Mr. Morse's nomination was for Best Guest on a Drama series. I thought he was a principle player, especially in Season One.
I was disappointed that he didn't win!
I really really wanted to see him go on stage in a pair of socks! LOL!!

Robert Morse was listed as a guest star all last season. This was probably for one or both of the following 2 reasons; 1) he wasn't in every episode whether for story or availability reasons I don't know, and 2) often shows are not able to get stars of Morse's stature as a principal or for a whole season, so they have them as guest stars. Sometimes even when they become a pretty regular character, actors like Morse are often listed in a special way in the credits, like "a special appearance by ..." or "featuring .....". For the Emmys, guest stars awards are handed out at the Creative Arts Emmys and the winners are mentioned at the big show.

I agree that it would have been cool to see Morse on stage in his socks. :)
