#13: Martin Sheen Found Himself in an Awards Race He Never Entered
His name had been submitted without his knowledge. That detail changed everything for Martin Sheen when producers put his work in The Atlanta Child Murders (1985) forward for Emmy consideration. Sheen discovered the entry and asked the Television Academy to remove him. He did not have a complaint about the miniseries, nor was the withdrawal a protest against losing. Voting had not reached that point. His objection concerned acting awards as a competition.
