As a long-time gamer and awards watcher, I have seen my fair share of surprises and snubs in the Emmy nominations over the years. This year was no exception. I was disappointed to see some highly anticipated shows and performances miss out on recognition, such as “The Curse,” “Expats,” and “The Regime.” I had expected Emma Stone and Nicole Kidman to receive nominations for their work in these series, but alas, it wasn’t meant to be.
As a long-time television enthusiast and industry insider, I can tell you that the Emmy Awards hold a special place in my heart. Each year, I eagerly anticipate the nominations, excited to see which shows and performers will be recognized for their exceptional work.
Some series and stars saw great success, but other expected contenders from newly introduced shows did not perform as well as they had intended.
Although Showtime’s “The Curse” received considerable recognition through awards campaigns, neither it nor the show’s leading actress, Emma Stone, managed to secure any Emmy nominations this year. Likewise, “Expats” featuring Nicole Kidman in the lead role was also overlooked. Meanwhile, HBO’s “The Regime,” with stars Kate Winslet and Hugh Grant, only garnered a single nomination for its costumes, leaving both actors unrecognized.
Some well-known actors who didn’t receive Emmy nominations despite their acclaimed performances are Kelsey Grammer, who was snubbed for his revival of “Frasier” after the original series consistently won Emmys; supporting actors William Stanford Davis and Chris Perfetti from “Abbott Elementary”; Nathan Lane from “The Gilded Age”; Johnny Flynn from “Ripley”; Cosmo Jarvis from “Shogun”; Hoa Xuande from “The Sympathizer”; and Jennifer Jason Leigh from “Fargo”.
In contrast, certain shows received acting nominations for their stars, yet missed out on recognition in the overall series categories. For instance, “Loot” was snubbed in the comedy series category despite Maya Rudolph’s nod, and “Fellow Travelers,” “The Sympathizer,” and “Under the Bridge” were excluded from the limited series category despite securing acting nominations. Similarly, “The Gentlemen” was overlooked in major comedy categories, but Guy Ritchie received a directing nod.
As a huge fan of “The Bear,” I can’t help but be excited about the show’s impressive 23 comedy nominations this year. However, it’s disappointing that some of its talented cast members were overlooked. Abby Elliott and Matty Matheson missed out on supporting acting nods, while Sarah Paulson and John Mulaney didn’t receive a guest acting nomination for their remarkable performances in season two’s “Fishes.” Despite this, Sarah Paulson was recognized for her role in “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.”
As a big fan of Mulaney’s work, I was hopeful that his Netflix series, “Everybody’s in L.A.,” would receive multiple nominations in the best talk series category based on the expertise and acclaim it had received. However, to my surprise, it only managed to secure one nomination – for picture editing.
In fact, the talk series category failed to include freshnewcomer Hot Ones or the long-standing show Watch What Happens Live in the nominations. Likewise, Real Time With Bill Maher and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, who were previously nominated, did not make it this year.
Some acclaimed series that surprised many by being overlooked, contrary to the expectations of industry experts, are “We Were The Lucky Ones,” “I’m A Virgo,” “Mary & George,” and “Lawman: Bass Reeves.”
As a long-time fan of Apple TV+ content, I must say that this year’s Emmy nominations have truly taken me by surprise. The strong representation of the third seasons of “The Morning Show” and “Slow Horses” has left me thrilled and excited. I’ve been following “The Morning Show” since its inception, and the 16 nominations it received is a testament to its consistent quality. On the other hand, “Slow Horses,” a relatively new addition to my TV viewing list, took me by surprise with its impressive nine nominations and its first-ever Emmy nods. These nominations not only reflect the hard work and dedication of the cast and crew but also underscore Apple’s commitment to producing high-quality, engaging content. I can’t wait to see how these shows fare in the upcoming awards ceremony.
Additionally, “Reservation Dogs,” which has received much praise from critics, joins the lineup for the upcoming awards season with its third and final season securing its first Emmy nominations. However, actress Devery Jacobs was not recognized with a nomination, and the show missed out on nods in the writing and directing categories. Meanwhile, “What We Do in the Shadows,” another FX comedy production, returned to the comedy series and acting categories this year, having been nominated only for technical awards last season.
As a huge fan, I was thrilled to see Dominic West and Idris Elba recognized this year in the drama actor category for their respective roles in “The Crown” and “Hijack.” Previously, they had been overlooked with nominations last year. What a delightful surprise!
