The 71st Emmy Awards will air on September 22, 2019 on FOX
No Stephen Dorff, no Richard Madden. Yuck.
I am surprised that Cate Blanchett was not nominated for her brilliant turn as Izabella Barta.
Rhea Seahorn missing again is ridiculous. Most of the other “snubs” already have awards and buckets of money.
I don’t get it either. And this was probably her last chance as well. Next year will be packed with the ladies from Big Little Lies, Handmaid’s Tale, and Bonham-Carter for The Crown.
Rooting for HBO’s Chernobyl, Netflix’s Chef’s Table and Netflix’s Love, Death and Robots’ The Witness
One more comment as I leave this train wreck of a day in the rear view mirror, a question. Just who the fuck is Fleabag’s Sian Clifford?
A talented supporting actress on Fleabag.
And as a twisted bonus adding ammo to the Emmys Hate The Good Place storyline, TGP ace writer Megan Amram was snubbed in the short form acting category. But maybe it’ll be worth it to find out just how Schitt’s came out of NOWHERE to today.
Schitt’s Creek can be easily explained — Netflix. Even though POP TV runs the show live, it’s the Netflix deal that has made that show popular. Apparently it performs like a first-run show for them.
Another reason to hate Netflix. Bad enough they almost won the Oscar Best Picture (Roma), now this. But we don’t know how many viewers, if any, watch it. Just an awful day today.
I wouldn’t discount the enormous legacy of SCTV when it comes to comedy writers who joined the industry in the 80’s. O’Hara and Levy are basically comedic gods from that period.
The one thing that’s positively frightening from today? Network TV shows are hanging by the hair on their chinny chin chin. As much as the Good Place was jobbed and This is Us rallied from getting hosed last year (sort of), that. What happens next year when TGP leaves? No network comedies at all, then.
This whole discussion was hijacked. However I just wanted to say that the nod for Noho Hank might be one of my favorite nominations (Oscars or emmys) ever
Emmys couldn’t risk putting themselves in a spot where JLD and Brosnahan split the vote and let Bell walk through and win. They just couldn’t.
What’s worse; 19 years of Angela Lansbury nominated and losing…or 14 years in a row of KB NOT EVEN BEING NOMINATED?
What vote would Louis-Dreyfus and Brosnahan split? They’re on different shows on different platforms with very different comedic styles.
Because one’s the defending champion, and the other is going to get a huge sympathy vote since she’s recovering from cancer.
What vote is that splitting, though? Why would Bell somehow benefit from that? If she had that kind of support, she would have been nominated.
Because they have a grudge against her; they HAVE to. Year after year after year. Lucy, Charlie Brown and the football she pulls out from under him.
If you accepted that that was true, then obviously she would never have benefited from a vote split, which is your initial complaint. If she has a sizable faction of support in the TV Academy, she would be a nominee.
JLD won an Emmy for this role 6 damn times without a sob story so you better fucking believe she can win a 7th on merit alone without having to rely on a single sympathy vote.
Ah, now I love Kristen Bell majorly but I’d hardly say House of Lies worth nominating and a few off years for her.
So Richard Madden snub is really shocking, especially since it made it into best drama series (which I never expected). I had him down to win…
Also can someone explain the handmaid’s tale thing? It is eligible for technical awards but not above the line awards right? Why/how? I don’t understand, why don’t they make everything consistently? Is there a good reason for it?
The Handmaid’s Tale was eligible in all categories but only for the last three episodes of the previous season that aired in the eligibility period.
So does that mean it was ineligible for season awards -so the 3 episodes could be considered individually for directing of episode x for example but best drama series really judges the season as a whole so you can’t really be eligible for it if you are only looking at 3 episodes?
Yes; we haven’t gotten to THAT point where 3 episodes warrants a series nomination. But who knows, maybe if there’s a 3rd season of Fleabag, it’ll be just 3 episodes and we’ll see if the Emmys nominate THAT, too. *rolleyes*
I think a season has to be 6 episodes.
Of course it does, but since PWB is the queen, the flavor of the moment, the darling of the industry, there will no doubt be a call to bend the rules so that she’ll be satisfied.
“There is neither a Santa Claus nor an Easter bunny, and there are no angels watching over us. Things just happen for no reason. And nothing makes any sense.” Veronica Mars season 2, episode 22, ‘Not Pictured”
Sorta like today’s Emmy nomination debacle in comedy.
Best Actress in a Comedy Series is so strong — and it doesn’t even have Kristen Bell, Lily Tomlin and Traci Ellis Ross in it! I have no idea who’s going to win — Is JLD the front-runner again? Catherine O’Hara the spoiler? Brosnahan the also ran? Lyonne or Waller-Bridge the dark horse? (Christina Applegate is brilliant on Dead To Me but I would hardly call that a ‘comedic’ performance.)
Comedy Actress is the joke of jokes. O’Hara’s mystifying nomination SCREAMS FROM THE ROOFTOPS lifetime achievement. Applegate? Dead to Me is a drama with comedic elements sprinkled like dust. That goes DOUBLE for Lyonne. How the f did she make it in? And I hate PWB with the force of a billion suns right now.
Paul, dude, tbh, if we could harness the power of your hatred for anyone who isn’t Kristen Bell, we could light up the entire eastern seaboard for a month.
Bell was maybe the third lead this last Good Place season. D’Arcy Carden missing a nomination was more egregious than Bell.
(by the way, I think the ultimate payoff of Good Place will be a late reveal that Ted Danson has been a human getting tortured the whole time)
Who the fuck hates Phoebe Waller-Bridge ?
I hold the fact Fleabag has a six episode season against her. SIX EPISODES.
Standard for British TV, again.
Girl, you’re so angry.
Bzzt. Try again. She already has an Emmy.
I know “lifetime achievement” or “makeup” is your go-to explanation for people liking anything more than The Good Place (see also, your many rants about Mrs. Maisel love being about Gilmore Girls, even though the Academy ignored the actual GG revival), but really.
To clarify, Maisel’s reign of error in all the guilds and from minute 1 of season 1 is because of delirious overcompensation because they all screwed GG and the Netflix revival. It was the ultimate makeup call.
And the reason that the TV Academy did a complete 180 between 2016 and 2018 is…?
Really, listen to yourself.
O’Hara is a five time nominee to go along with that statue.
Catherine O’Hara is a god damn American treasure and every line she says in Schitts creek is perfection. Who the hell hated Catherine O’Hara
And Pamela Adlon and Allison Janney!
Nope; they deserved to be excluded.
Lena, Sophie, Maisie, and Gwen will all split the vote. I think Fiona Shaw will (deservedly) take that category.
I would love that!
Fiona Shaw will win but I do like Julia Garner in Ozark. She’s such a breakout.
I hope Garner takes the win … or Headey (even though she shouldn’t win for this season).
I was gutted that Carden co-hosted the nomination announcement and in the words of Rolling Stone, “She offers that kind of comedy master class on network TV and you’re going to make her announce her own snub? Sorry. You’re all going to the Bad Place.”
Genre fraud is the new category fraud; dramas w/comedy elements (Dead to Me, Russian Doll, Barry) TOOK NOMINATIONS AWAY from The Good Place. And don’t even get me fucking started on Fleabag. Six episodes isn’t a season. It’s a hiccup.
It is in Britain. And, increasingly, short seasons are common in American streaming platforms as well.
Screw the Brits. I don’t have any forks to give for such an unnatural way they do things.
At this point I have to assume you’re a parody account.
I assure you this is a legit account. 6-episode seasons need to get shipped to Limited Series, or add a new category, Short Form Series.
It takes no more or less talent to plan and execute a short season than a long one.
I agree fully about Barry, Dead to Me and Russian Doll. I love those shows but they aren’t comedies.
Fleabag is a masterpiece of television.
A masterpiece? C’mon, dude. Bull. Forking. Shit.
You haven’t seen a single episode, have you ?
Fleabag is a masterpiece. Deserved every nomination. 6 episodes are perfect – you need to get started as you are incorrect.
Fleabag is a masterpiece.
Fleabag is a masterpiece while you are a mastur of your domain
It’s telling that after two years of dominating in noms, Handmaid’s Tale is almost totally absent here. Says a lot of its downturn in quality.
It was ineligible this season.
Just saw that, was confused as saw a nom for directing so thought it was eligible.
FINALLY SCHITT’S CREEK!
Don’t even get me started…
I’m sorry but that show has been deserving so long….
Once more, with feeling. A show seen by fewer people per episode than the population of Akron, OH. (less than 200,000) gets Emmy love and the Good Place gets crumbs.
Have you watched it? Because I love Kristen Bell and Good Place but Schitt’s has been deserving for a while, hysterical series.
And audience numbers have what to do with this? Because The Good Place certainly wouldn’t qualify on that basis, either.
Also, Schitt’s Creek has a large Netflix audience in the US.
We don’t know that. Netflix doesn’t abide by Nielsen ratings guidelines. We just have to take their word for it. SC could be watched by 10 people, for all we know. TGP is watched by 4.6m in live+7 this past season.
Seems unlikely, given all the Emmys.
Are you protesting the lack of Big Bang Theory nominations? They’re the biggest comedy on TV this past season.
They should’ve gotten series and Parsons, maybe a directing nom.
This comment says everything we need to know about you.
And what is that, exactly? Because maybe it would’ve been a nice going away present. No, don’t give away the store, but just a select few noms as a parting gift.
Schitt’s Creek is HUGE. (Dan Levy won an MTV Award for Best Comedic Performance TV or Film which is an AUDIENCE VOTE.) Just because you’re still in hysterics about Kristen Bell doesn’t mean you need to tear another show down.
It’s not about KB anymore. It’s about genre fraud being the new category fraud and nobody’s willing to call out the streaming networks that do it anymore except me. TGP’s series nomination, under any other circumstance, is a breakthrough. But with nothing else riding its coattails save the same 2 acting noms and 2 new ones, it’s easily exposed for the crumb-tossing it was. Just five nominations? 15 too few. Maisel’s 20? 21 too MANY.
Schitt’s Creek and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, the two shows you’re most venting your spleen about, are unquestionably comedies.
Now you know I’ve been bringing up Dead to Me, Russian Doll and Barry as those who are flaunting the rules and passing themselves off as comedies. The people who created Schitt’s are the luckiest fucking people on the face of the damned earth. Oughta get down on their collective knees and thank God they’re even IN the Emmy derby. Maisel is just epically overrated.
Dan Levy is biggest snub of the day not being nominated for supporting
How every last Good Place fan should feel right now: HURT. Beyond imagination.

SO HAPPY FOR SCHITT’S CREEK, Eugene and Catherine!!!!!!!!
No Richard Madden and Julia Roberts – odd.
Homecoming had zero buzz, so Roberts missing really isn’t a surprise.
Schitt’s Creek, a series seen by fewer people per episode than the population of Akron, OH. (less than 200,000). Now what the fuck kind of horse-s is this?
You are massively misinformed. And rude.
https: //tvseriesfinale. com/ tv-show/ schitts-creek-season-five-ratings/
198,000 viewers for the current season. Down 27% in viewers from its prior season. And edited to correct my being mad when I posted my prior note..
Where are the supporting races?
added!!
Thank you. Sorry, I didn’t realize they had been delayed for a bit of time.
10 (!) acting nominations for Game of Thrones ?!? Is that a new record for a drama series ? To be fair, acting WAS on point and all these performers were deserving of recognition. It’s the D&D writing and directing nods I can’t get my head around. They wrote and directed some truly memorable and brilliant episodes. Just not this season. Oh well.
As happy as I am to see Niecy Nash and Aunjanue Ellis nominated for their truly remarkable performances, how are they in lead ? Those were very obvious supporting turns, as in based on screentime or narrative it isn’t even up for debate. Regardless, the performances WERE outstanding so I probably shouldn’t bitch about category placement.
No Richard Madden ? Super weird considering the show got in and he is literally the whole show. So his show was a critically acclaimed smash hit on both sides of the pond, he himself received rave reviews for his performance, even won the Golden Globe and then not even nominations from SAG, Bafta and Emmy people ? As I said : weird.
The West Wing received 12 acting nominations for its third season (9 for the main cast – same as GOT this year, and three guest nominations)
Thanks for the info!
That’s as stacked a Comedy Lead Actress category ever. If Catherine O’Hara pulled off the win, would the 37 year difference between Emmy wins be some kind of record?
these two are painfully unfunny.
Jerome made it in; I admit I was somewhat skeptical of that, despite how widely-seen the miniseries was, just because he’s not a name actor at this point.
