Surprising Emmy Loser
Martin Sheen was nominated six times for an Emmy Award on The West Wing, but he never won. He wasn’t the only one who missed out on receiving an Emmy award for the show. Janel Moloney, who played Donna Moss, assistant and love interest to Deputy White House Chief of Staff Josh Lyman (Bradley Whitford), was nominated twice but did not win. Neither did Dulé Hill, Rob Lowe, or Mary-Louise Parker, who were all nominated one time each. Guest stars Matthew Perry, Oliver Platt, Ron Silver, Tim Matheson, and Mark Harmon also received nominations but no trophies.
