In season six, Lincoln took his performance to another level, and fans have cried out even louder for the actor to earn awards.

Lauren Cohan first appeared on The Walking Dead in season two, and plays the character of Maggie. Fans have watched as her character falls in love with Glenn, and as she gets over the heartbreak of losing him. Her portrayal of true love and grief has been one of the highlights of the series.
