Thornton quipped earlier today (July 10) that he hopes that the nomination will yield other career opportunities in the near future.
"Maybe the nomination will help. I hope so. 'Cause I got a family, so it'd be nice to get a job," he told TheWrap .
The actor continued: "I've been offered a couple of things, but I don't think I was really right for them, to tell you the truth. I probably wasn't the best guy for the job.
"But if it goes for another six months like this without a job, then maybe I will be the right guy for the next role that's wrong for me."
Thornton went on to speak about the importance of award ceremonies.
"I think they're very significant. For actors, it begets work," he said. "And since the audience is keen on watching awards shows, it gives a lot of exposure to your show.
"And when you're a part of one like Fargo, we're all so proud of it. There were so many of us involved, a great bunch of people, and obviously I'm so happy and proud of the other people from our show that we're nominated."
Fargo is also nominated for Outstanding Miniseries. The 66th Primetime Emmy Awards will be held on August 25 at the Nokia Theatre in LA.
