Part 3/7:
The analysis delved deeper into the implications of receiving an award for the series' score, especially when weighed against its colossal production costs rumored to be upwards of $230 million.

The focus on the show's distinctive score, while vital, ironically underscores the unfulfilled expectation surrounding the narrative and performances. Notably, Amandla Stenberg, who played dual roles in "The Acolyte," garnered no recognition for acting, making the score award seem even more like a consolation prize than a true honor.
