I’m not sure what the Television Academy members were watching, but, IMO, Patrick’s performance as Saxon Ratliff was one of the obvious standouts of the series — particularly that heartbreaking moment in the last episode with Aimee Lou Wood’s character…IYKYK.
And, for what it’s worth, it seems I’m definitely not the only person who feels that way, with Patrick being widely identified, by both fans and critics, as one of the biggest snubs of the 2025 nominations.
Fortunately, however, it appears Patrick is taking any disappointment in his stride. After the nominations were announced yesterday, the 31-year-old took to his Instagram story to celebrate the show’s 24 nominations, which, along with all the other acting nods for his costars, included Outstanding Drama Series, and both Outstanding Directing and Writing for a Drama Series.
On top of that, Jason Isaacs, who played his father on the show and beat him out for a nomination in the Supporting Actor in a Drama Series category, revealed that Patrick was the very first person to congratulate him.
If one thing’s for sure, Patrick certainly earned himself a legion of new supporters off the back of The White Lotus — and hopefully that means he’s caught the eye of a few casting directors, too. We’ll get you that nom, Patrick!
