Yellowstone’s Wes Bentley Thinks Fan Connection Goes Deeper Than Academy Recognition

At the season five premiere, Wes Bentley, who plays Jamie Dutton’s older brother, commented on the show’s award-winning snub. daily mail. “Personally, I don’t think the awards confirm anything,” he said. “It’s an honor, as they say, but as far as whether we’re doing something good or not, it’s not.” He also noted that many worthy shows go unrecognized, and those that do not deserve attention are also awarded.

In general, Bentley was grateful to the audience and their conversations. “I know we’ve been successful because people are watching it. The conversation I have with fans is much deeper than usual,” he told the Daily Mail. His co-star Gil Birmingham, who played chairman Thomas Rainwater, agreed with Bentley, stating that having a loyal audience is far more important than awards. He also added that Westerns have never been widely recognized by award bands. “Westerns are not a genre that, historically speaking, is usually rewarded,” Birmingham said.

With a successful fifth season now airing, and apparently a few more seasons to go, there’s still plenty of time for Taylor Sheridan, the cast and crew to get some recognition.
