Oscar-nominated actor Paul Giamatti has given several powerful performances throughout his career. The list includes Sideways (2004), Cinderella Man (2005), 12 Years a Slave (2013), and The Holdovers (2023), to name a few. Earlier this year, he gave an emotional, subtle, and compelling performance in the Black Mirror episode titled Eulogy. Yet, it was overlooked for this year’s Emmys.
Eulogy is one of the best Black Mirror episodes I’ve seen in years. Paul Giamatti gives a breathtaking Emmy-worthy performance as an emotionally wounded man coming to terms with the woman he used to love. Such a beautiful story, with an ending that left me in tears. Brilliant. pic.twitter.com/w1X3WmIliz

Interestingly, there’s one critically acclaimed series that earned Paul Giamatti his first and only Emmy win. We are talking about the 2008 historical drama John Adams. Here’s what the series is about and where you can stream it.
