Gary Oldman (‘Slow Horses’): 2024 Emmys episode submission revealed

Gold Derby can exclusively reveal that Gary Oldman is entering the “Slow Horses” episode “Footprints” as his 2024 Emmy Award submission for Best Drama Actor. “Footprints” aired on December 27, 2023, and is the sixth and final episode of the Apple TV+ drama’s third season.

In “Footprints”: Hobbs (Chris Coghill) and Sturges (Nick Blood) storm the Dunn house, however are outmaneuvered by Lamb (Oldman), who rigs the house with booby traps. Sarah (Eliot Salt) strangles Sturges to death after a brief struggle, while Lamb kills Hobbs. Donovan (Sope Dirisu) sacrifices himself to allow River (Jack Lowden) and Guy (Rosalind Eleazar) to escape the file storage facility with the “Footprint” file. Lamb tells Standish (Saskia Reeves) that her hero, Charles Partner (James Faulkner), was a traitor who was using her, leading a devastated Standish to resign from Slough House. “Comply Slowly” was written by Will Smith and directed by Saul Metzstein.
