Am I the only one that feels that Cuba Gooding Jr was the weakest link acting wise?
No, you are not. He was a proof for miscasting at its best. He didn't look like OJ nor acted like him. In a more capable actor's hand that role would've been an awards magnet.
Apparently Tina Fey changed her Emmy voting status from writer to actor just to support Sterling K. Brown and Sarah Paulson.
Quote:
Fey said that she loved FX's American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson so much that it spurred her to call the Television Academy, for the first time in 10 years, and re-categorize her membership so she can vote in the acting categories. “You have to pick which you’re in, and I was always [categorized] as a writer. I could have had acting, but I just never did. I did it just so I could vote for Sterling K. Brown and Sarah Paulson.” Fey comically channeled Marcia Clark in the first season of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. ("Thank God I did it first!" she laughed, saluting Paulson's performance).

Other than George W. Bush, did I miss anyone important?
