Brittany Allen is not waiting for HBO to hype up her Emmy hopes after her appearance in The Pitt season 2. The medical drama is one of the most acclaimed, earning Emmys and the Golden Globes while also taking home the Best Drama award at the Banff World Media Festival. And there are similar expectations for season 2 of the show. 

While HBO has likely finalized its official Emmy campaign for The Pitt season 2, Allen seemingly was not included among the studio's submissions. So, the actress took matters into her own hands as she urged the network to call her.

In a conversation with Variety's Clayton Davis, Brittany Allen revealed that HBO has yet to contact her after her former publicist informed her that she was not included in the network's Emmy submission package for The Pitt season 2. However, the actress said she is not waiting for the network to submit her name. Instead, she has launched a self-submission campaign for Emmy consideration.

“The industry is built on hype, and if nobody is creating that hype for you, you have to find a way to do it yourself,” she said.

“Give me a call back, HBO!” she said of the studio.

She shared her FYC campaign on Instagram, revealing that she paid for it and is running her own Emmy campaign after HBO did not submit her name. However, the actress does not hold it against the studio. She acknowledged, while talking to Variety, that The Pitt seasons 1 and 2 feature an exceptionally talented cast, with many actors showing outstanding and brilliant performances.

“HBO put forward a few guest stars who all did fantastic work. But in terms of a conversation with them, there hasn’t been much between me and HBO,” he said.

Now, self-submission is nothing new for Allen. She previously submitted herself for her role as Marissa in All My Children. And it paid off when she won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series.

While Allen only had to pay the entry fee for her latest submission, she still had to follow the Television Academy's eligibility and submission rules.

Brittany Allen played the role of Roxie, a wife and mother with terminal cancer who is introduced in Season 2 of The Pitt. Her role was originally planned for six episodes before the writers expanded it to eight appearances. Allen said she spent weeks uncertain whether Roxie's final appearance would include a post-death scene showing the character's body after succumbing to cancer.

If that scene had remained in the season, it could have increased Allen's episode count beyond the eligibility limit for the Emmy Guest Actress in a Drama Series category. Under Emmy rules, performers must appear in fewer than 50% of a show's eligible season episodes to qualify as guest actors. Fortunately, it worked out for Allen as her character's death was off-camera. Whether she wins remains to be seen, but Allen's effort for herself is truly remarkable.
