Mary-Kate Olsen's Emmy Nomination

Our green bean casserole has finally digested, and we're back talking about the world's most iconic twins.

But in today's episode, we're focusing on only one twin, just like the Emmys did in twenty years ago. On May 17th, 2002, the 29th Daytime Emmy Awards Ceremony took place at Madison Square Garden, and notably only nominated Mary-Kate Olsen for So Little Time, not Ashley. This moment might have escaped us completely if Lani hadn't stumbled on a red carpet clip of Mary-Kate and Ashley giving in interview about the nomination, and Mary-Kate sounding remarkably uncomfortable.

So we dive into what this could possibly mean. We also revive our old segment, "The Mary-Kate and Ashley Acting Tracker" to try and pinpoint the moment when/if Mary-Kate inched in front of Ashley as the "better" actress. And we spend a very long part of this segment in an alternate reality where Two of a Kind was never cancelled.

Ultimately we decide this was probably masterminded by the Dualstar team *cough*RobertThorne*cough* and not anyone's actual opinion that Mary-Kate was more deserving of an acting accolade than Ashley. And at the end of the day, the Emmy nominations for "Outstanding Performer in a Children's Series" in 2002 were utter chaos.
