The series also managed to snag a nomination in the coveted category for best television limited series, anthology series or a motion picture made for television. In addition to this, Javier Bardem received a supporting actor nomination for his portrayal of Jose Menéndez in the true crime series.

At present, even though Koch has no direct way of contacting the brothers, he is hopeful that they’ll somehow get to chat about the movie’s latest success.
