Lack of Alexis Bledel for The Handmaid's Tale is absurd but that is the name of the game for this award show.

She's in there as a guest role instead of a supporting one.

 

[gforguava]

She's in there as a guest role instead of a supporting one.

Then I rescind my previous complaint.

Uh...the complete lack of Search Party is unacceptable.Yeah, that'll do.

 

[El Topo]

Every year I chuckle when I see that they nominated William H. Macy for best comedy actor.

 

[LotusHD]

Atlanta needs to win everything it's nominated for

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

No Leftovers
No Mr.Robot.

Jeez what a bunch of uncreative people at the helm of these nominations.

 

[Lord Morairty007]

I see Handmaids Tale winning drama and actress.(I haven't even seen the show) Bobby Brown will get supporting, Atlanta wins the best comedy and my boy John Oliver for Variety Talk Series. The rest are toss ups for me.

 

[the_firewithin]

Atlanta and Westworld should win alot.

No Aubrey? BS
No McKean? More BS
Get modern family out and replace with the good place

 

[kirblar]

No Leftovers
No Mr.Robot.

Jeez what a bunch of uncreative people at the helm of these nominations.

A lot of people didn't like Mr. Robot season 2 relative to S1. I loved it, but the fact that it stopped being a power fantasy definitely made people unhappy.

 

[blame space]

Jude Law in the Young Pope deserved to be nominated.

Also, the direction, cinematography, and production on that show far exceed were some of the best I have ever seen from a TV show.

yeah this was so good

 

[Bladenic]

No Emmy Rossum again, whatever.

Very happy to see Kathryn Hahn for Transpent, her character was the best thing about S3.

 

[QuantumBro]

Are the Emmys trying to compete with the Grammys for most worthless award?

 

[El Topo]

Are the Emmys trying to compete with the Grammys for most worthless award?

You shit on the Grammys, but the Grammys have historically been much, much better at some things (such as gender representation) than e.g. music critics as a whole. For as much shit as they get, they're not all *that* bad.

 

[Bladenic]

Also Nicole Kidman better win best actress for Big Little Lies, she was so fucking good.

I've seen I think about 90% of the nominees across all these categories.

 

[Linkura]

Not one single nomination for Bates Motel.

I'm used to it. Highmore and Farmiga robbed once a-fucking-gain.

 

[Frost_Ace]

The Young Pope was the best thing I've watched this year, sad to see it snubbed. Have to catch up on Handmaid's Tale ASAP.

 

[Psychoward]

I wish they had an animated section just so we could see Rick and Morty or Bojack get fucking robbed.

The only category I have strong feelings for is Black Mirror winning TV movie and Silicon Valley winning best comedy.

Edit: omg they do and omg they did

 

[Exploratory]

Spoiler

Shout out to Agents of Shield.

 

[Meier]

It's a shame that High Maintenance wasn't recognized. It's such a fantastic show. Vice Principals getting snubbed is unfortunate as well.. maybe next year.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Have to catch up on Handmaid's Tale ASAP.

Yes

 

[Prototype Viktor]

Wynonna Earp robbed again

Spoiler

for the first time

 

[CloudWolf]

Barb was nominated? Good job, internet.

 

[ZeoVGM]

The Leftovers being ignored is a clear mistake but overall, it's hard to get upset at this list of nominees. It's just an insane amount of quality in talent in most categories.

However, I will say that Real Time being nominated is an embarrassment, let alone over Seth Myers. Trevor Noah would have been an easy choice over Real Time as well.

Bill Maher's blatant ignorance shouldn't be rewarded.

 

[JustSomeone]

Nothing for Twin peaks? a real shame...
The first seasons(well,the first one,at least) were completely ignored because they didn't realize the show's importance back then, but surely they could have remedied it now

 

[ZeoVGM]

Only 4 of 18 episodes had aired before the cutoff.

The first season got 14 nominations. Or do you mean in terms of wins?

 

[Spikematic]

Very happy to see Odenkirk, Keri Russell, Matthew Rhys and Westworld and its actors getting noms, they were all stellar. However, the lack of Michael McKean, Rhea Seehorn and above all, The Leftovers and its cast, is just utter BS.

 

[Apt101]

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is probably going to win, but I want Ellie Kemper to. I think she was the best of the comedic bunch this year.

 

[gforguava]

Wynonna Earp robbed again

Spoiler

for the first time

Seriously though, Melanie Scrofano gives an excellent performance that I would easily pick over half of the dramatic and comedic nominees.

 

[OléGunner]

Nice to see Liev Schreiber nominated for best actor.
He is criminally underrated as Ray Donovan.

Also WW should sweep every award its up for. Phenomenal show.

 

[Chumley]

Absolute bullshit that Carrie Coon is nominated for Fargo and not The Leftovers. This shit is just a popularity contest.

The Leftovers got fucking robbed. Like, how does Carrie Coon get a nomination for fucking Fargo but not The Leftovers? It makes no sense. Coon and Theroux both deserved nominations. I'm pissed, this is bullshit.

Yep. It's purely based on ratings, not talent. Fuck the Emmy's.

I've seen all of the performances nominated for Lead Actress, and none of them come within the same stratosphere as Coon's performance in The Leftovers. I think anyone else who's seen Season 3 can agree.

No.

More like Leftovers robbed my time.

Glad to see the vapid emptiness at the heart of the Leftovers and Lindelof was recognized.

You're on permanent ignore for making this post.

 

[LFMartins86]

Not a single mention about the 4th most nominated show? GAF has awful taste.
Jessica Lange has Lead Actress In A Limited Series locked in. Would also love to see Molina win it, the whole cast was brilliant.

FEUD has to win best limited series. It's great, critically acclaimed, great acting and it's about the industry/Hollywood. But I have this uneasy feeling that the mediocre and forgettable mess that is The Night Of is gonna collect some awards.

 

[Bits N Pieces]

The lack of nominations for The Leftovers is borderline criminal.

What's to say? It was great and should win a bunch of awards.

The lack of nominations for The Leftovers is borderline criminal.

This is one of the things that I loved about the noms, even the HBO cachet couldn't get The Leftovers any recognition. Hilarious.

My other favorite thing is The Americans not getting a Best Drama nod given that the eligible season was terrible.

 

[jett]

No Leftovers
No Mr.Robot.

Jeez what a bunch of uncreative people at the helm of these nominations.

Mr Robot's Season 2 deserves nothing but disdain.

 

[Jay Shadow]

Absolute bullshit that Carrie Coon is nominated for Fargo and not The Leftovers. This shit is just a popularity contest.

It's far from a popularity contest. Most Drama Category winners are from some of the lowest rated shows on tv. It's HBO's fault for not pushing Leftovers for awards. So I guess you could say it's a popularity contest within HBO choosing all their focus on Westworld.

 

[Psychoward]

Mr Robot's Season 2 deserves nothing but disdain.

Yep

Anyway is there a reason behind the rick and morty and bojack snubs or what

HBO chose correctly.

 

[bigmit3737]

Was Billions not good enough ?
I really enjoyed it.

My wife is part of the Academy. She gets lots of FYI dvd's from shows that Networks want nominations for. I don't think HBO sent much if anything Leftovers FYI's. On the contrary, Netflix has flooded her with their content. There has to be five different boxsets of Stranger Things.

 

[LotusHD]

You're not wrong.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

They had to waste a bunch of noms on stranger things

 

[Chumley]

What is with posts like this that seem to revel and find enjoyment in the displeasure of others over this show in particular.

Did you watch all 3 seasons? Do you have any room to talk at all?

 

[ezekial45]

Mr Robot's Season 2 deserves nothing but disdain.

I loved S2 of the show, but I can totally understand how people would be put off by it. I think it went way too far with the more 'out there' aspects of the show in certain episodes, and it sounds like they're going back to S1 approach for S3.

 

[hydruxo]

Nah, they're all well deserved except for Barb.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Nice to see Liev Schreiber nominated for best actor.

Ray Donovan is awful and Liev Schreiber's constantly constipated face doesn't deserve to be nominated for anything.

FEUD has to win best limited series. It's great, critically acclaimed, great acting and it's about the industry/Hollywood. But I have this uneasy feeling that the mediocre and forgettable mess that is The Night Of is gonna collect some awards.

Big Little Lies is going to sweep.

 

[dead souls]

Big Little Lies is going to sweep.

Yeah, that HBO voting block will not be denied. Big Little Lies was good, so it won't bother me to see it succeed.

 

[Slime]

Not that I realistically expected anything, bit still sad Kelly Bishop didn't get a nod.
